A very disgraceful practice has been discovered in the City.

An undertaker named Reynolds has been, it appears, in the habit of burying children cheap in his own cellar. In the ease proved 'in Court he took lls. from J. Beckley, carman, for "the funeral" .of his child, put the body into a shell, took it away, and buried it without the shell in his own cellar, where it and bits of other bodies were found by a carpenter. The Coroner said Mr. Reynolds' conduct was most reprehensible, but could not be dealt with by a jury. We are under the impression that it could be -dealt with by Beckley, the child's father, if he paid the 11s., as appears certain, under the impression that his child would be -decently buried in a coffin.
