.DISS'IMLIT/ON OF THE L 6,41) Aft
CAMDEN TOWN.

Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the re-
presentative vestry of St. Pancras was held in the
Vestry Hall, for th 9 purpoe, amongst other mat-
ters, of I eceiving a report as to the steps taken in
reference to the stoppage of the recent desecration
of the dead in the cemctel y of St. Martin's-in-the-
Fields, at Camden-town.

Mr. Churchwarden CAMERON having been called
to the chair, said, on the previous day he had re-
ceived the following important letter from the
bishop's secretary :
. . .

" 3, Dean's-yard, Westminster, Nov. 11.
" Dear Sir,—l have seen Mr. Humphrey, who readily
acquiesces in the bishop's suggestion that no further oxhu-
matians shall tale place for the present, so as to afford an
opp,,rtunity for inquiry into the case by the means alluded
t.) yesterday. He thinks the very best mode of arriving at
the truth will be by a judicial inquiry, as pronosed. He has
therefore env-zed to apprise Mr.:pangertiela of the steps
you are taking to bring the case into the Bishop's Court,
and you may depend on no further proceedings taking
place at the churchyard between this and Tuesday next.
Under these circumstances will it not be batter to discharge
the magistrate's summonses
I am, Sir, yours faithfully,
" JOHN R. LEE.

" D. E. Cameron, Esq."
Under these circumstances Mr. Bodkin had at-
tended that day at the Clerkenwell Police-court,
and for the present had withdrawn the summonses ;
but the parties were still amenable to criminal pro-
ceedings.
Mr. NODES moved, " That Mr. Cameron be em-
powered to employ a proctor, and take such other
proceedings as may appear advisable to set aside
the faculty granted by the Consistory. Court for
removal of coffins and human remains in Camden
Town Cemetery, belonging to the parish of St.
Martin's-in-the Fields."

Mr. T. E. BAKER, J.P., seconded the resolution.
The resolution was put and carried unanimously,
and the resolutions adopted at the public meeting
were ordered to be received and entered upon the
minutes.

THE FATAL FIRE AT GREENWICH.

Richard Roper, corn chandler, was placed at the
bar of the Greenwich Police-court, before Mr.
Traill, for final examination on a remanded charge
of arson and attempting to defraud the Kent Fire
Insurance Company.
Mr. Scudamore, solicitor, and Mr. Lendon, secre-
tary to the company, appeared for the prosecution ;
and Mr. Ingle, solicitor, of Hibernia Chambers, '
London-bridge, defended the prisoner.
Mr. Traill observed that he proposed to take the
depositions of every witness necessary for the pro-
secution, but the evidence was exceedingly volu-
minous, and a considerable portion of that adduced
at the coroner's inquest would not be required.
It was necessary to present the case to the jury
divested of all superfluous statements.
The depositions of the various witnesses were
then formally taken by the chief clerk, Mr. Bousted,
when Mr. Ingle re guested that the letter received
from Bedford, purporting to be written by a person
who paid the prisoner £2 on an agreement to take
his business, should be put in evidence.
Mr. Traill-.How can I do that ? I shall take no
notice of that letter, because if there was any
weight in it, its effect would be against your client.
Mr. Ingle—Will your worship express some
opinion respecting that letter, to the effect that you
consider the writer should come forward ? It is
thought that he is deterred from coming from the
fear that he may get into trouble.
Mr. Traill—lt is • undoubtedly my opinion that
the man who wrote the letter ought to avow him-
self ; but at the same time I consider it strange
that any man who actually paid L 2 on account of
the business should not have chine forward long
before this, as he might have legally claimed to be
repaid the amount.
Mr. Ingle—During the present week we have
received information that the man is to found, and
is residing in the neighbourhood of Maldon.
The prisoner, who declined speaking in his own
defence, was then fully committed for trial on the
charges of arson and attempting to defraud the
Kent Fire Insurance Company.
