FUNERAL or LUCAS AND lIIS MURDERED CHIT,
DREN.—Yesterday, at a few minutes past one o'clock, the
funeral of George Lucas, and his three children, took place.
The mournful procession consisted of four coffins, containing
the mortal remains of the deceased, which were carried to the
grave by bearers, followed by 31r. Lucas (brother of the de-
ceased), Messrs. Green, Coleman, and Harman (brothers. in-
law), and two gentlemen (private friends of the family). The
bodies were interred in the burial-ground of Saint Alphage
church, London-wall. The funeral service was read in a very
impressive manner by the Rev. James Smith, who appeared to
be deeply affected. During the whole time the reverend gen-
tleman was engaged in the awful ceremony, he shed tears ; as
was the case with nearly every person who was in the church.
The four'coffins were lowered into one grave, sixteen feet
deep, on the east side of the ground. During the day, a great
number of the City Police were in attendance, and rendered
essential service, by keeping back the crowd, &c.
