EXPENSIVE BURIALs.-A case illustrating
the absurdity Of expensive bullals has re.
Gently attracted some attention and stlmn-
lated few leading articles. A poor brick
layer who had the misfortune TO lose his
wife contracted with an undeitaker for GA
funeral. Toward this sum he paid 81 los.
in cash. coffin was sent home, and the
body placed in it, The widower had agreed
TO get his landlord 10 guarantee the balance
OF the expense; but as he failed 10 do so, the
undertaken refused TO complete his contract;
and the corpse and coffin were actually LEFT
for eight days in the poor mans only room
Being informed of tile scandal, Mr.. Flowers,
q magistrate, sent for tie unkeltaker, who
still declined to bury tie body unless paid
the balance in advance; so that the court
called in parish officer TO complete the In,
terment-a parish funeral being just what
tue unfortunate bIieklayer dreaded.
