He never digs up an important person in the novel. He digs graves of random people to sell to scientists. He does this because his family needs the money. :)
Edit: It might be Roger Cly actually because thats the preson from the funeral.

We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, in our mine the whole day through. We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, it's what we like to do. It ain't no trick to get rich quick. When you dig, dig, dig, with a shovel or a pick. In a mine. In a mine. In a mine. In a mine. Where a million diamonds shine! We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, from morning until night. We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, ... We dig up diamonds by the score! A hundred rubies sometimes more! But we don't know what we dig them for, just dig, dig, dig-a, dig, dig. Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! heigh-ho! Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's home from work we go. (Whistled melody) Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho. :)

Cruncher figured out that Roger Cly faked his own death and revealed this to Carton.How Cruncher figured this out was that since he is a "resurrection man" (meaning he digs up dead bodies and sells them to scientists for money) he tried to dig up Cly's body to sell after the funeral (in London), but found that Cly's body was actually never in the coffin in the first..all Cruncher found were a bunch of stones.
Jerry Cruncher raids graves in the darkness in the Charles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities. The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution. ChaCha
Jerry Cruncher had mud on his boots because he worked as a "resurrection man," meaning he dug up fresh graves at night to steal bodies to sell to medical professionals for dissection. He used the excuse of being a "porter" to cover up his grave-robbing activities.
"Flopping" (praying)
Jerry Cruncher went to the Old Bailey to deliver a message to Mr. Jarvis Lorry.
Jerry Cruncher Sr.'s other job is initially referred to as 'fishing', but when Jerry's son (Jerry Jr.) follows his father and his father's partners to observe what they were doing, it's hinted at that the men pull up a dead body rather than a fish. Jerry Jr. runs home quite afraid, and later asks his dad what a "Ressurection-Man" is. Jerry Sr. is much more knowledgeable about it than he initially puts on to his son, and when Jerry Jr. suggests that it might be something that he wants to do someday, his dad becomes very proud. (i.e. A Ressurection-Man was someone who would dig up corpses and give them over for scientific research)
