This story occassioned, when pubit-hed, much surprise that such a cas> could have occurred and have been successfuily hushed up, or that indeed a corpse could be re- moved frsm the locality pointed to without ex- citing suspicion and i airy. The statement in one paper intimal at the Coroner wes cognizant of the facta, but had also deen bribed, a statement which none who know him would believe for an instant, yet, nevetheless, one _ealcniated to do injustice to him, with those by whom he is not so well known. It is but justice to that officer to say that had he received any intima- tion of a case of that or any other kind, requir- i on, an investigation—and a th € followed. How; this story was published, he imme. y set to work to ascertain the truth or Major Kichards, they determined to work ap the case, and aecordingly Major R. and some his officers set about it.

He detended him- self with his billy until a well-directed blow on the head of one of his ant nists broke that weapon, and then went in with his tists, the me- lee resulting in the arrest of the two men and their appearance at the station-house, where cach paid a tine of #10.
