went down near Cighorn during a heavy gale, and its entire crew, consisting, it was believed, of three men. and a boy, were drowned. The vessel was a stranger, and consequently when she broke in pieces, a couple of days afterwards, the people or the district set themselves to collect what spoil they could from the salvage thrown up by the tide. But her cargo, as it seemed, was of wonderfully little value. Old deal, and quantities of agricultural produce werej&e chief articles which came to land, and U the latter was greatly injured by the action of the water, the search for wreckage began to slacken after the first i'e\y days, and then ceased. All at once, however, a rumour spread over the district that salvage of a very valuable cbaraster had been recovered from the wreck. A farmer of the neighborhood, it was asserted, had been seen conveying home a tea-chest of great weight, which he had picked up on the sea-shore. This story, we may be sure, at once set numerous greedy eyes on the outlook for similar plunder. Nothing was found for a day or two, but at last a pair of idle fishermen, while strolling among a cluster of rocks within high" water mark, discovered a square box, which, from its frayed --ides, ha<l evidently beern tossed about among the waves for a number of days, i'hey immediately pounced upon their prize, and notwithstanding that it was exceed ingly heavy, carried it home. _Tie news of their good luck spread like wildfire, and the n'-ighbors having turned out in a body to learn what been found, the small " but" of their house was soon filled. But the opening of the. box was no easy matter. Besides being firmly nailed together, it was clamped on the edge with iron in a manner which defied for a considerable time all the efforts os the finders. At length the lid was loosened by the removal oi two of the clamps and then, to the horror of the beholders, it sprung open with great force and a dead body, entirely naked, leaped up with a jerk. Of course the women shrieked, and even the rough seamen fell back in astonishment at the ghastly nature of their prize. After the first shock of surprise an investigation of the affair was made, and it was found that the corpse had been rifled from a churchyard bent in two, placed in a box, and shippedonboard the unfortunate smack for Leith, thence to be conveyed to one or other of the Edinburgh medical schools. Several other boxes, of a like size and shape are said to have come ashore later, but, warned by experience, the fishermen buried them unopened on the spots where they were found.

Then tho exploit of tin* Edinburgh pro fessor, in securing in broad daylight, a hydrocephalic " subject" fromßruutisland churchyard, is well known. Attended by a professional " snatchor," he drove upiu a gift to one of the JJruntisland bosteleries on a summer afternoon, and requested that the horse might be baited for an hour. Theorderwas taken at once, and two gen tleman, both of whom were well dressed, walked off, one of them, as he did so men tioning that he expected a servant, who would be in lively, to call with a parcel which would be deposited in the gig. This expectation was carried out to the letter. In a short time a man in livery appeared car rying a somewhat bulky bag, which he placed under the ?eat of the gig. It was remarked that this individual was wonder fully taciturn, or was perhaps alittle hard of hearing*. At all events the inn people could niHke nothing of him, and when the two gentlemen returned at the end of the hour the secret of t'jeir business was yet intact. They at once drove off, but, as it seemed, not a moment too soon. The newest grave in the churchyard had been descrated. and the body carried off in broad daylight, and the perpetrators of the out rage were easily identified as the gene tlemen in the gig.

But it was not only the general public that the resurrectionist warred against. When the system of watching the graves became general, and the small, strongly built charnel-house"!, already described, were ercc.ed in the better known or more easily accessible churchyards, they then turned iheir attention against the doctors thernse.ves. We have one quotation from Lonsdale's " Life of Knox," and the fol lowing' anecdote from the same volume will probably be read with considerable interest: —

"Two noted hands called one night at Knox's rooms, and asked the assistant on duty if he would take an ' adult' which they had close by. He agreed to do so, and in ten minutes the body was brought in and paid for. Next morning Mr. Lizars' anatomical class was in great excitement on learning that a fresh 'subject' had been carried off during the night from the tables of their dissec ting room. Lizars himself was in a terrible rage, a~ d interrogated Peter, the janitor, very closely. " ' You say you bolted and barred all the doors, and found them the same this mom ing ? '

" ' > res. sir.'

" ' Then how the devil could the body be got away ? ' "' Wal,'quoth Peter, 'I dinno ken, unless it was the deil's am work, for there's neither a chink in the door nor a flaw in the window for an imp to creep in by.'

" But the burglary wa.i in every way outrageous. A body stolen from the grave is sold to Lizars, it is re-stolen from his dissecting room, and sold again, within the hour. The villains netted £25 for their work, and had no fear of indict ment."

It was plain, however, that the system could not last for ever. On the one hand the interests of science demanded a con stant supply of" subjects," and, besides, the amourpropre of the medical profession was engaged in keeping this constant!; np; while, on the other, the deepest feelings of all classes of society demanded that ).he bodies of the dead should be pre fer^, *> sacred against the desecrating han^-. of men, even although these were laborers in that holiest of human causes, the alleviation of suffering and the pos sible preservation of life. We have said all classes of society, since, as there is ample evidence to show, no station, how ever high, was proof against the forays of the " snatchers." When before a Com mittee of the House of Commons on the subject, Sir Astley Cooper, on being asked wether the st te of the law prevented the teachers of anatomy from obtaining the hody of any person they were desirous of procuring, replied — "The law does not prevent our obtain ing the body of an individual if we think

proper, for there is no person, let his station iv life be what it may, whom, if I were disposed to dissect, I could not ob tain."

After continuing in existence for up wards of thirty years, the profession of a resurrectionist" was therefore brought to a final close by the passing ot the Anatomy Act in 1832'

Now, as is -.veil known, ample provision is made for tho necessities of the medical profession by allowing the removal of the unclaimed dead from workhouses aud hos pitals to the dissecting rooms of our ac credited medical schools. It may be that, at long intervals, an isolated attempt is made by an enthusiastic student to obtain a body surreptitiously ; but these attempts are so few in number that, even if suc cessful, they attract no public notice. At the same time, the story of the troubles which led to the Anatomy Act will always be a chapter in medical history possessing a wile and keen interest, not only for members of the profession, but also for the general public.

ONEHUNGA.

The attention of the Provincial Government has been reneatedly called to the necessity for putting a light on the Onehunga Wharf. The unfortunate man Ferguson, who fell over the wharf at the stairs the other night, and whose body has not yet been found, would most probably not have mot with the accident had there been a proper light. Some time since a coroner's jury added a rider to their verdict to the same effect, and applications have been made without effect, both from the har; our-master and captains of vessels. Last night, too, till long after dark, the mail and cargo per Nevada was being shipped on board the Wellington, and in the bustle and darkness it is only surprising no ac cident occurred. As there are often three or four steamers lying at tlie wharf, paying consider able dues, it is not much to ask that the Gro vernment should take ordinary precautions for the security of life. The business of the Resident Magistrate's Court, at Onehunga, on Wednesday last, had to be postponed, in consequence of the indis position of Mr. Melsopp, and two justices not being available iv this district.—[Correspon dent.]-Herald.
