When the health of the Lady Mayoress was proposed,
the mover said he• hoped most ,fervently that the ex-
cellent example set by the Lord Mayor, in inviting the
ladies of the members of the Court of Common Council,
would be followed by other Chief MagistrateS. Such a
course would tend more than anything else to establhh
an amicable understanding between the two Courts, and
-put an end for ever to the incessant snarling with which
the members of the one met the members of the other.--
(Cheers.) The company separated highly delighted.
The next of the series of dinners will take place on
Friday.

EXTRAORDINARY EXHUMATION

A discovery of an extratrs'inary nature was made a
few days ago in Moor-street, Birmir.ghum, by some tnr n
in the employ of Mc. William Smith, surveyor, who
were at the time engaged on ths premi,cs at the back of
the public office. The occurrstice has supplied food for
much curious speculation. The workmen were 4 xcavat-
in the ground in the yard.for the purpose of making a
well ; and when some four o fiveTfeet heloiv the surface
of the-eerth, one of them came in contact with something
which he thought to be a stone, but which, on being
lifted up with the shovel, proved to be a human head.
This naturally made them -more careful in their work.
On further examination,' they found the skeleton
of, a- large- dog, Whose skin and hair were as
perfect as thoegh-;they had only been buried a
week, though -the, body was completely gone. A f..,0t
Lelow this-were the remains of a coffin in which the hones
of a human being were discovered, to'which the heal
first thrown up had belonged.' The bores were at once
taken out, and roost- of theM washed, and Dr. Skerritt,
Who was passing by at the time, having his attention
called thereto, c ,nceived that they were either the bones
of a female, or of a youth not more than twenty-five
years of age. 'The skull was in tolerably good preserva-
tion. The teeth on one side were sound, though decayed
on; the other side. On the forehead above the left eye
there was a round indentation, .as if made by a blew
frqm a hammer or other blunt instrument, giving evi-
dence' all but boncluSive of a deed of murder. The
length of. the skeleton was five feet nine or ten inches.
The coffin, as the remains testified, was an open one; but
decay had worn it down to the thickness of cambric
paper. It was fastened. together with oak pins instead
of nails, Which had evidently:been dipped in grease or
pint (the ancients slot usiug Kyan's patent), as they
were not decayed. This would appear to fix the
burial as taking place not less than 250. years ago,. as
about that time we understand coffin nails came into use.
Or the lid of the coffin was found a porcelsin tobacco
pipe of 'peculiar construction. It had a heart engraved
upon it, with the initials in old English, W. S. The bowl
of the pipe was not more than three-eighths of an inch
wide. Tie core of.tobacco therein was as fresh as when
discovered, as though it had been laid down by some
living being who had just been smoking. The discovery
of the pipe and tobacco certainly fixes- the date-of the
murder less than three centuries ago. A thick stake had
evidently been driven through the dog, if not through the
cops, as the marks thereof were clear, though the stake
oncoming in contact with the air fell to powder. This
fitt suggests a scene of no common occurrence. In
all;probability, the poor dog, for faithfulness to his mur •
deied master, was doomed to die and be buried with
him there. A month or six weeks ago, the same indi-
viduals, when working also for the same surveyor, found
some human remains in Oxford:Street, at the back of
Mr. •Allday's, the butcher. In that instance every bone
wa's broken, the skull was cracked, and the legs were
turned upwards on the breast, as though the body had
been doubled up. An old-fashioned stone bottle was found
between the abdomen and the legs, filled with black 11-
Tatar. This relic might have been preserved, but the
son of Hibernia, who was , engaged in the work, ex-
claimed the moment he saw it, "06, there's some of

the ra'al crature—here goes for a drop !" and striking
it with a shovel to break the neck off, dashed it into
innumerable pieces. A Mr. Salmons, who rernem-
bets the neighbourhood for eighty years, says he re-
collects that part of the town being a park or plea-
sure ground of " Lard de Burlington," which ex-
tended from Moor-street to the river Rea. Tim-
ber trees of immense size were growing there within his
recollection. There is, too, an individual now living,
w4ose grandfather superintended the building of Aston
Park-wall, who related the following facts to his son,
the father of the present relator. They are, therefore,
the traditions of two generations:--" Oa the left hand
of 'Digbeth was the Duck Pool, or Duck' Bath, be-
longing to Lord de Burlington, where a beautiful spring
arose, that since supplied a great part of the town
with water. From its name arose Duckbath,' since
corrupted into Digbath or Digbeth.'" Ile says, too,
that at the top of Bordesicy was formerly the park-
keeper's house, for the protection of the deer, where the
grazing pasture ended; and thence (not from a corrup-
tion of ' Dirty•end') arose the name Deer-end,' Deer-
enaton," Derington,' an I Deritond.' " If this tradi-
tion be true, the two bodies are connected with some
eked of darkness in the baronial ages; but we have heard
or another means of accounting for the marvel, which
we will lay before our realers as we received it. It is
as follows:—" The place where the body and dog were
found is supposed to be the part called Loft Croft, ad-
joining the former park of Lord de Burlington' would
seem to record the garden belonging to the house (now
the Court of Requests) in which the rich Iltunphrey
Jennings lived, who bequeathed an immense property,
long subject to litigation. It is supposed that the body
found is that of Robert, one of the four sons of the said

Humphrey, to whom a large portion of the property wary
bequeathed, and of whose death no account has been
given; but it was supposed at the time (about the year
1700, ashen he was missing) that he had been made
away with. The descendants of the family who now
claim the property have found the register of his birth,
and his name in the will, but have never been able to
obtain any tidings of his death." If the body found in
the public-office yard was that of Robert Jennings, the
pipe evidently did not bear his initials.—Birminyhani
