Searching a Coffin Cor Evidence.

Some excitement vas created yester-
day in the neighborhood of Bedford by
the exhumation of the body of the Rev.
John f. Dawson of Woodlands, who
was buried in 1870 in the churchyard of
the village of Chaplain. Mr.. Dawson,
who inherited the estate of Woodlands
from his father, who had bought it, was
twice married, and though he had a
son by his first marriage, he bequeath-
ed the estate to his son by his second
wife. 1t is believed, however, by his
eldest son that the estate was entailed
by the will of his grandfather, which
ccGid no. be found; and as information
reached him that documents had been
buried with his father, application was
made for the ~exhumation of the body to
the Home Secretary, and the requisite
sanction having been obtained, the ex,
humation was commenced at l a. m. on
Tuesday and completed at s a. m,
when the coffin was opened in the pres,
ence Of the legal and medical gentle
men concerned. A diligent search be-
tween the inner shell and the outer oal
coffin proved in vain but on lifting the
body, which was in a wonderful state O
preservation, a bundle of what appear
ed to be letters, tied round with rec
tape, was discovered. These documents
were taken away, with the necessary
legal formalities, and the body wa
then returned.-PaH Mall (London,
