At the Adjourned Norfolk Sessions, as reported
16th March 1833, a John Goose gave evidence regarding the supposed
bodysnatching, the previous year, of the corpse of Sarah Watling
from Swanton Abbot churchyard. George Ives and Nathaniel Canham had
asked about the burial and observed that the church yard was "a
damned good place to get a body out of". At the burial they had
asked the grave-digger her age, of what she died and how many
children she had had. Goose said that Canham had previously asked if
he would "go bodysnatching" and that a doctor in Norwich had
promised £5 for any body delivered to him. On 4th December 1832,
Canham had been observed by Banningham resident William Cranfield,
to put a blue box onto a cart and head off to Norwich. In Norwich
the pair had lodged at the White Horse in Magdalen Street and gave a
letter to the hostler to take to the doctors. Seemingly there was no
evidence that the body had been taken and the Chairman acquitted
both prisoners. |
