	The Newgate Calendar - WILLIAM BURKE
		William Noble, the shopman to Mr Rayner, a grocer at Portsburgh, near Tanner's Close, was then examined, and proved that on the night of the 31st October Burke, who had been in the habit of dealing at his employer's house, called there in order to purchase some trifling articles of grocery.
		Burke was, indeed, the only one of the two qualified to manage the out-door business of the co-partnery; and he it was, accordingly, who always went out to prowl for victims, and to decoy them to their destruction.
		Burke had availed himself of the short interval of twenty minutes, during which her companion, Janet Brown, was absent, to execute his horrid purpose, when she was asleep, by stopping her breath; and that very afternoon, between five and six o'clock, her body was taken to the dissecting-room and disposed of for eight pounds.

		Most of Burke's birdhouses are in a local area that he said is a perfect place for bluebirds because the trees are not too close to one another, power lines provide a great place for the birds to perch when hunting for insects, and there is plenty of water.
		Burke also uses a couple “tricks of the trade” to keep predators away that may want to snack on a baby bluebird.

	William Burke & William Hare
		Until the 19th century, Britain’s laws specified that the only cadavers that could be used in these classes were those of recently executed criminals, as religious thought and superstitions of the time deemed it unthinkable to disturb a person’s remains.
		The number of executions was, as William Roughead wrote, "...wholly inadequate to meet the growing needs...and the surgeons' and barbers' apprentices had been in use diligently to till the soil and reap the harvest of what has been finely called 'Death's mailing.'"
		Upon receiving a delivery of a cadaver from someone other than those authorized to transport criminals’ corpses, doctors and their assistants most likely suspected that the bodies were from graves, but generally said nothing in order to keep the anatomy classes full of interested (and paying) students.
