Iplaced his arm under the cOVerld,
bslt dashing it out, he seized mine
al nd demanded, Does it not say if
thy right hand offend thee, cut it OFF,
yes, my man, but yours is a useful
member, take my advice, and keep
it on
4 will not; it has offended me, ay,
damned me to eternity. It is mur-
derous right hah hd!' But I will not
drag the reader through the incohe-
rent rawlings Of guilty delirium; it
suffices to say, that after some con-
siderable pains l elected the following
story from him:-
its just ten years tomorrow
CHATS Tuesday) since I was dis
charged from four months imprison-
ment in the House Of Correction.
I was then just twenty In the same
place I met a gang Of resurrection
men, and they said what jolly life
they led, plenty Of money, and all
that, when one of 'em told the rest he
knew a better way to get the rhino
quickly than what they did,'an if SO
be as they wouldn't split, he'd tell
'em. Well, after making me take
an oath q trembles now to think Of
Iit) that | wouldn't tell, they let me
Into it. This was to kiInap all the
the greenhorns, that didn't know
their way about town, and Garry
Nthem toa house the gang had in
alley, near Blackfriars, where they
were tobe sutficated, and sold you
doctors for cutting up. Well, it took
10 ong time to bring my mind to such
thing, but they pursuaded me We
we're all destined 10 10 10 hsavea orhcM,
before We were born, and that or

letter and read it, ana then say to
the other, 4 can't come this instant,
because expect a friend in half an
hour, and must wait for her; but stay,
/ can write a note, and put her oil,
and stepped inside the inn, and came
out in ten minutes, wi lh a note in
his hand. One Of Us bad been SER
want in a cutting-up house in the
Borough, and knowed him afore; step
ping up, he asked if he cd duld carry
the note for him? The pther was
in hurry, and said yes giving him
half-a-crown to take it intp the B0r-
ough, then got into t be coach and
drove off Instead of going with it,
he had larnt to read, and breaking
the note open, found some lady was
coming to meet the gentleman by
llalf-past two. I'll tell ye what, my
boys says he, there's a fish come to
our net without looking fer it, SO
wei have her first. Shortly after,
up comes the coach with lady in it;
meanwhile one Of our 6 hng had got
