Subjects for Dissection. indi- viduals, in London, convicted of mur- der, for tic purpose of selling the dead bodies for dissection, have been execu- ted. By the confession of two, the third appears 10 have been innocent of the murder, and only concerned in selling ono Of tho bodies. These confessions disclose singular mode of pcrpetrat- ing the murders. The victims were decoyed 10 the house, made drunk with brandy and iaudanum, then tied ny the fleet, and let down head foremost into n
 well, and thus drowned. The corpse
 was left, for time, suspended by the feet, with the head under water, go as 10 discharge the laudannm and brandy from the stomach, 10 prevent suspicion. Two boys and a woman lad been thus murdered.
 The physicians in London state, that shc obs.ruc.;ors opposed sc obtaining subjects for dissection, arc SO great, that high prices have 10 be given, and thus individuals are tempted 10 com
 nit murder. r.a .sa bodies, ;s .!:s above cited, were sold for nine to eleven guineas each. It deserves reflection, even here, whether means ought not 10
 be provided for supplying the dissecting
 room with proper subjects, in some
 manner that might effect the object without offending public feeling.
