In some burial-grounds, houses were built in which the bodies could be kept until they were putrid, and therefore useless to the resurrection-men. Such a house is still standing in the burial-ground at Crail.[17] [Illustration: HOUSE AT CRAIL (Described on page 80). Over the door is the following inscription: "Erected for securing the Dead. Ann. Dom. MDCCCXXVI."] [Illustration: HOUSE AT CRAIL (Described on page 80). Over the door is the following inscription: "Erected for securing the Dead. Ann. Dom. MDCCCXXVI."] As a rule, the resurrection-men were able not only to supply the London schools from the grave-yards in and around the Metropolis, but also to send bodies to some of the provincial schools; the Diary shows that even Edinburgh received some of the proceeds of the work of this London gang. If, however, from increased vigilance or other causes, the supply of bodies ran short in London, recourse was had to the provinces. A case occurred some seventy years ago at Yarmouth. A man died, and was buried in St. Nicholas Churchyard. Not long after, his wife died also. On the husband's grave being opened, it was discovered that the man's body had been removed; this led to a panic amongst people in Yarmouth who had recently buried friends in that churchyard. Many graves were opened, and, in a large number of instances, were found to have been violated. This led to a regular watch being established over newly-made graves in the churchyard. It was the custom of the resurrection-men, when they had bodies to send from the country to London, to forward them so that they should, in outward appearance, correspond with the class of goods exported from the place where the bodies had been obtained. If the goods usually came to London in crates, crates were used by the body-snatchers; if ordinary packing-cases, then the bodies were enclosed in like receptacles. The proceeds of the exhumations at Yarmouth were probably packed in barrels, and came through Billingsgate. In 1826 three casks, labelled "Bitter Salts," were taken down to George's Dock at Liverpool, to be shipped on board the _Latona_, bound for Leith; a full description of this transaction was printed as a broadside, of which the following is a copy: "RESURRECTIONISTS AT LIVERPOOL. "Discovery of 33 Human Bodies, in Casks, about to be shipped from Liverpool for Edinburgh, on Monday last, October 9, 1826.
