TitleBody-Stealing: Whayley, in a long statement, deposed to being persuaded by Patrick to dig up the corpse of Jane Mason (a graphic and ghoulish description). Patrick give him half a sovereign, adding that it was easier than working a whole week for it, and mentioned his hope of being able to send the corpses direct to London another year. A certain attorney named Wilkinson had visited Whayley in prison and asked him if he were one of the Resurrection men advising him to say nothing because they were tired of the concern and would soon quash it. The Gaoler, Mr. Joyce, was present during the conversation.
