giftrates of this Burgh, and having made Oath they t had done 
her no defigned injury, they got an Atteftation accordingly, and 
went off, having firft given the Cadaver to an Ingenious Gentle- 
man, Capt. George Teman, fince Provoft of this Town } by whofe 
Care the People were prevented from carrying it all away in 
pieces, as they did one of the fore Joints, and we ftill continue 
Mailers of the Remains-, for the Day flie di.d, he was pleafed to 
go out himfelf, and take me along with him, in order to have 
the Skin head off, which was his chief deiign, and the Body 
opened, which was mine. As I was very glad of the Opportu- 
nity, fo 1 was concern’d becaufe of the difadvantage I was at, 
which kept me from profecuting what I defign’d : For there went 
out a g.' eat Multitude, the Day was very hot, and being the laft 
Day of the Week, the Subject could admit of no delay, efpecially 
fince it lay in the high Way and open Fields : So that I fcarce 
had any convenience to pry into, or fo much as to fee any thing 
of moment, much lefs to enquire fo nicely into the Scrufture of 
the Parts, as the Subjedt requir’d. ’Twas One of the Clock in 
the Afternoon before ail were in readinefs to go out, and moft 
of the time was fpent by the Butchers in fleaing off the Skin. All 
I got done, was to take fuch narrow Infpedtion of the Mufcles of 
the Probofcis , (or Promufcis , as fome call it, in Engltjh the Trunk) as 
1 could. Afterwards I caus’d the Abdomen to be open’d, and then the 
Thorax , and that by the unweildy Hands of unruly Butchers, 
who at opening the firft, wonld have wholly cut through the 
CJfa Panominata, had I not hinder’d them ; and at laft, whether I 
would or not, did fo flafh th e Sternum, and mangle feveral of the 
Cartilages, as to render them ufelefs, cutting and tearing where 
fioever they came. I had not much above an Hour to brftow 
when Night came on, and that araidft a Throng and Rabble in 
mighty hot Weather. During that time I view’d the Situation 
of the Vijcera , took the Figure and Dimenfions of the Liver , ex- 
tracted the Uterus and Bladder , and caus’d the Head to be cut off, 
which fwith fome other Parts I defign’d to have differed) were 
brought to Town. I had a mind to be more fully fatisfy’d about 
the Intejiines , Spleen and Kidneys on Monday ^ but when I went 
out again, the Intejiines were all dry’d by the Heat ; fo that their 
Figure and Structure were quite fpoil’d, and the Country People 
were foearneft to have Parts of it, that they had ftole away the 
whole fore Foot before that time ; which, after much Pains and 
ibe earneft Care of Provoft Teman, we recover’d about 6 Weeks 
after-
