fore, he was passing through Blenheim-street, and saw some
persons standing opposite the door of Brookes, the anato- '
mist, who told him that two men had just forced into Mr.
Smokes's, for the purpose, as they said, tot selling themselves for
'.dissection. Wales listened at the door, which they had closed
on gaining admittance, and heard them ha conversation with
Mrs. Brookes. She told them that Mr. Brookes was from
home, but it they bad any particular business, she would inform

pose of then stood before her, and asked her what she thought
they were worth?

should interfere, and 'accordingly knocked at the door, which fur
