A few days thereafter Daniel Pot- ter, a patient, addressed a note to the commit- tee, intimating that the testimony on that | Point was untrue, and asserting that human remains and offal from the dissecting room had been inhumed in the grounds for acwal sepulehre. Yesterday the sub-committee again visited the hospital, and Mr. Potter was ealled and testified before them.
