Yow the belly, which it may be fup- 
oled had been poured into the 
body on the heart and bowels being 
taken out. On breaking a piecg of 
this paite, it was mixed with the 
fkeletons of mageots and flies, of 
which vaft quantities lay on and 
about the body; and on the right 
check of the fkull there was a fharp 
point about half an inch long, and 
fome grey hairs appeared under 
part of the cap, which had fitted 
the head very tight, and feemed to 
have been buckled under the chin, 
part of the ftraps remaining. The 
robe had the appearance, in fome 
parts, of having been embroidered, 
particularly on the right knee. No 
bones of the fingers were to be 
found. One point afcertained is, 
that the body certainly was depo- 
fited here, and not in the more eaf- 
tern part of the church, as was fup- 
pofed; and the extraordinary cir- 
eumftance of there being no me- 
morandum or record of the place of 
interment in the archives of the ca- 
thedral is now obviated. The dean 
afd chapter gave orders that the 
curiofity of the people fhould be 
gratified as far as could be done con- 
fiftently with fafety; but the con- 
courfe from all parts becoming fo 
great, it was deemed proper to 
clofe the tomb again on Tuefday 
afternoon. It was obferved by the 
mafons that the coffin was cut out 
of Higley ftone; but there was no 
other top to it than two elm-boards, 
which were perfectly found. _ 
The quantity of ftrong beer 
brewed in this country has, within 
thefe few years, very confiderably 
increafed, notwithftanding the war, 
as will be feen by the following

ing Society affembled in a field near 
St. Pancras, to vote a petition to the 
King, and to enter into refolutions 
relative to the prefent ftate of the 
country; but their proceedings 
were interrupted by the magiltrates, 
who arrefted the principal {peakers, 
and kept them in cuftody until they 
procured bail. : 
The following is a copy of the 
petition, as far as they were per, 
mitted to read it :— 
TO THE KING. 
THE PETITION AND REMON- 
STRANCE OF THE LONDON COR- 
RESPONDING SOCIETY. 
Sir, 
From the difregard which our 
former petitions and remonftrdnces 
to your Majefty have experienced, 
wherein we have reprefented the 
extreme diftrefs and imifery under 
which the great body of the people 
languifhes by the arbitrary and op- 
preflive meafures of your minifters, 
we are ftill, as heretofore, induced 
to fuppofe that thofe petitions and 
remonftrances have either been en- 
tirely kept from your knowledge, 
or deprived of their due weight 
with your Majefty by the machina- 
tions of thofe minifters, 
We forbear, however, on this 
occafion to renew our petition for 
their difmiffal; conceiving it would 
be in fome degree arrogant, and af- 
furedly nugatory, for this Society 
fo to petition, having feen that not 
even the united voic¢ of the whole 
country (lately and unequivocall 
exprefled) has been able to effedt 
the falutary conviction on your 
mind, that their meafures have 
completely deftroyed the order, 
happinets, and profperity of thete 
kingdoms, and have confequently 
a hoftile tendency to your perfou
