Dear museum colleagues

I am searching for articles from magazines or newspapers published in the
1820s and 1830s about body snatching for anatomical dissection.  Can anyone
help?

I have information about Burke and Hare, and a short story by Robert Louis
Stevenson, however, as Melbourne (where I live) was established after the
great hullaballoo over Burke and Hare was over, I am unable to locate local
material which catches the public sentiment of the time.

Thanks in advance,

Adrienne Leith
