them the 18th section to read They could
sasiIy see that the Justice had no right to pre-
vent the burial. The law says that dead ami
mails must be buried two feet under the earth,
but does not say where. A man may bury a

offensive il may be to the neighbors.; if the
carcass is two feet from the surface Of the
earth, he cannot be fined under the municipal
law.
