      has been sentenced to be transported for life , aiid the other has walked away from the bar of justice unpunished . . _, . Incidentally the trial of this she-monster , Bcbb , throws a fearful lig ht upon the moral conditionof thepeasantry among whom snch horrible events could occur . With all the toasting of Churchmen and Dissenters , as to their relative exertions for the education and

      , improvement of the masses , we are _ewiM anon reminded by snch occurrences , that there exists in the midst of ns J **™ " ? 1 of _*??* claimed and uncultivated harbansm , _which should-shamethe Leg islature into vigorous and _systentttSaoi'flction , irrespective altogether of se _^ _tsaafcreeds . The facts ofthe case are a disgracVto oar vaunted civilisation , whether Wlook at the chief actors in the fearful

      tragedy , or the callousness of the spectators , who saw it deliberately enacted before their eyes . In the village of Churcham , near Gloucester , lived Kichakd Hook , a woodman . He - was left a widower three years ago , with three children , of whom the murdered girl was the ¦ youngest . Bubb , who was the sister of the deceased wife , and herself a widow with two children , came at the time of Mrs . HOOK ' S death to keep honse for the widower , and whatever might be the nature of the connexion that sprang np between them , became the uncontrolled mistress of the family . . According to the evidence at the trial ,

      Hook ' s cottage was well supplied with the necessaries , and even some of tiie comforts of life . His wages were good for his station , and the hill of the village shopkeeper showed that there was a pretty abundant supply of provi _sions weekly consumed hy the family . Tho neighbours , however , soon observed a marked _difference between the appearance of Hook ' s children and the hoys of Bdbb . Previous to -their mother ' s death they were healthy , but after that time they were evidently systemati _cally neglected and llltreated—the youngest _# nd most helpless , at that time only twelve months old , _saSering of coarse most severely from such treatment .

      _Numerous witnesses deposed that the infant -was continually wandering about , begging in the most earnest manner for a mouthful of victuals , which , whea obtained , it used to devour voraciously , and that its attenuated appearance folly proved the slow , hut deadly process of starvation , which it was deliberately undergoing . "The yonng Bpbbs enjoyed every _comfort" said Emma Jackson , a lodger in . tiie house , for twelve months before the child's death , ' " Hook ' s children were ill-fed

      . and ill-clad , especially the deceased . " Has -seen prisoner and her children sitting at hreakfast and eating buttered toast , whilst the deceased was on the floor , picking np ihe crumbs , and eating them _witnjthe greatest greediness 1 " As might he expected "the -child gradually wasted away , and became so -weak that it crept abont on all fours ; " hut even in this state , its agony and its helplessness excited no remorse in the breast of the monster Bvbb . The witness , "had seen her _ratch the child with one hand and beat it with

      the other , within three weeks ofits death , and -when it was little better than skin and bone—_ mere living skeleton . About two months before it died , saw her washing the -child in a tub , and saw her take it out and push it across the room , asd say : * D thee , thee wilt never die , and nothing will _« ver kill thee ! '" Here , however , the barbarous wretch was wrong , the victim of her almost incredible and demoniacal cruelty did , at last , sink under the tortures inflicted upon iter . She died at last of actual starvation and when her body was weighed , together withthe cloths in which . it was wrapped , itwas only 61 b ., or 21 b . less than the weight of the body of many health y children at the moment of birth !

      Our only regret is , that the jury did not brand this most foul , unnatural , and horrible deed , with its true name—Murder . They -ought , we think , also to have accompanied the verdict with a condemnation of the shocking and unjustifiable remissness of the people , who ¦ saw this murder being deliberately perpetrated -on a helpless little creature of three years of -age , and yet , never iaterfered between the murderess and her victim—the clergyman , the hoard ot guardians , the relieving officer , every -body knew of it , and yet nobody stirred , until the slow , lingering , and agonising process of _Wronger had done its work . Surel y , instead of . sending Missionaries abroad to convert savages , there is need for their ministrations in the _^ district which lies under the shadow of the

      -cathedral lowers of Gloucester * For one thing let ns he thankful . Crimes _^ _Such as these cannot be committed with impunity . Mrs . Bird ' s escape from the scaffold or . the penal colony , which she so richly deserved , is not to be the role , bnt the exception . The consignment ofthe monster Bubb to transportation for life , is a timely and necessary warning to those who feel disposed to wreak / their transcendant inhumanity upon helpless children . But it would be far better if Legislators " would set about the task of removing the depravity of mind and heart , out of which such -shocking crimes are generated— -the low condition of tiie people is tiieir disgrace , in the eyes -ofthe world .

Prom the facts stated at the meeting of the Drivers , held this week , it is evident that the -freatment they have received is part of a systematic plan to pull down the earnings of that ' most important and nseful bod y of men with

      tbe view of thereby in some measure adding to the dividends of the capitalist . We recently showed the effect of a similar policy on the Edinhnrgh line , where the inexperience of ihe new drivers not only destroyed property to a Jarge amount , bnt inflicted severe wounds and endangered life . We say , that having obtained by act of Parliament , and b y the command of large capitals subscribed nnder that authority , a monopoly of the passenger traffic ofthe Country , Eailway Boards ought to be restrained by the Government , from taking a coarse which « o directly tends to endanger the lires " and properly of the public ;; ' We shall watch the _issne of this struggle _iriifrdeep ' _mteiiesfr "

      Parliamentary Review. On Thursday, The Q...

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . On Thursday , the Queen , with the usual pomp and ceremony , proceeded to the " new Palace at-Westmiuster , '' and released "My Lords and Gentlemen" from what she was pleased to call " the duties of a laborious session . " The members collected to witness , the royal pageantry were rather greater than usual upon such occasions , and there was no lack of loyal respect towards the first magistrate < of the realm , in her progress towards' the Legislative Chambers . The sovereign should not ,

      therefore , draw the inference that the people are satisfied with the working of our institu * tions at present Towards herself , personally , we believe there is but one feeling of respect throughout the country but a very different sentiment pervades the masses with regard to her present advisers ; where they are not despised , they are detested ; and it is to be hoped Heu Majests _: wiU speedil y be able to secure the assistance of advisers more competent for the position , and possessing more of the confidence ofher lieges .

      ' In the Speech which they made their Royal Mistress read to the few members of both Houses , who had not escaped to the moors , the Ministry enumerate the measures they consider of the greatest importance , which have been passed during the session , and for which they take credit . These are , tbe Australian Colonies Act , the Acts for the Improvement ofthe Merchant Service , forthe gradual discontinuance of Interments within the limits of

      the Metropolis , for the Extension of the Elective Franchise in Ireland , and the measures for improving the Administration of Justice in various Departments . The catalogue is soon exhausted , and our readers know too well the petty and defective nature of the measures themselves , to require that we shonld now detain them by any comments . The whole session has been wasted in a series of debates on subjects , the most important of which have heen withdrawn . Of the shoal of

      hills that havestraggled through , notmore than ascore , at the utmost , ean lay claim tothe character of being generally useful ; One point of the Speech ought not to he forgotten . It is seldom , indeed , that these documents contain anything either new or startling ; hut the paragraph respecting finance and taxation is so truly novel that we were startled with it . Her Majesty ; congratulated the Commons on having "heen enabled to relieve Her subjects from some of the burdens of taxation . " Who has been shamefull y practising upon the credulity of the Queen ? When % Where ? In what shape " has that relief been given ? Who feels himself , one penny the better for it ? With the exception of the remission of the duties on bricks , we positively know of no reduction whatever . The wooden

      Chancellor makes mistakes enough on his own account ., and ought to be content , without seeking to drag the Queen into the mire along with him . As tothe proceedings of the Houses Since onr last , they have been of an unusuall y humdrum kind , even for them . '' Palavers '' have been got up on Cephalonia and other matters , but it was quite evident that everybody was heartily wearied of the sisyphean task in which they had been so long engaged . Their hearts were not their tongues , and the

      motions were got up merely to save appearances . The real object was to hurry over the business that it had been determined to push through , and then turn their hacks , as speedily as possible , npon a place where their seven months' labours had been of so unprofitable and discreditable a character . _Next week we shall endeavour to point ont the leading characteristics of the session of 1850 , of which we are heartily glad we have at length seen the end , and pray tbat we may never see such another .

The reasons for such postponement are ample and weighty , and it is respectfully submitted . to all mining districts , that those reasons will be laid beforo tho delegates who may assemble at such Conference , and of , which , no doubt , they . will approve .

      Miners of Britain , take this matter into your serious consideration , and let each district send a delegate to _Newcastle on Tyne on the day specified above , when it is intended to submit to those so assembled a plan of organisation , which , if adopted and carried out , will improve the miners ' condition , and bring comparative , comfort to those homes where " misery aud poverty at present find a place .

      Excubsiok to O'Consorvillb . —On Sunday , llth August , the members and friends ofthe _Tempjjrancehall . Little Dean-street , Soho , " made an excursion to O'Connorville , where they' arrived overjoyed with their journey . On alighting they dispersed in companies and entered the abodes of the allottees . After dining , viewed the estate , and enquired as to the welfare of the resident allottees ; tben camp to the conclusion , thatthe land so applied is one of the principal roads to man ' s true liberty . ' ' Place a man on bis own property—the land , then will he defend his own castle . " After these sufficient

      National ^ Association Of - , United/Tra...

      NATIONAL _^ ASSOCIATION OF - _, UNITED / TRADES . T . S . Dukcombb , Esq ., M . P ., President . Established 1845 . " mi jtJsniiA . " When the Central Committee found aU their endeavours fruitless , to induce tho Wolverhampton employers to do _* ihat justice to their hands to which , had they been honourable men , they would have needed no prompting ; aud , in consequence , felt it their duty at once to appeal to the various trades in connexion , to support the Tin Plate Workers in their legal attempts to obtain that justice which , up

      to this period , ' has been most pertinaciously refused , they were well aware that time would necessarily be required for the trades to meet , discuss , and give to their resolves " the name of action / ' They never doubted what those resolves would be , but were scarcely prepared for the prompt—and nearly unanimous—response which has been given to their appeal . But there are still a few bodies ofthe members who have not yet _responded .. ... ItisionfideniJy hoped that these will at once see the necessity for an immediate performance of that duty , so clearly implied in the obligations they mutually engage in , when they join this Association , obligations which they would naturally expect tb be fulfilled on their behalf , if placed in similar circumstauces with the Wolverhamp-¦

      ton men . - •' During this unavoidable delay , the busy activity of Mr . Perry , and the excusable i _mpatience of the men , have somewhat precipitated affairs , to a degree neither desired nor contemplated by the Central Committee . Mr . E . Perry , when he discovered that he would no longer be permitted to continue his unreasonable exactions , at once proceeded to put into operation a variety of schemes ,. quite characteristic of the man , to secure to himself a continuation of his present disproportionate profits .

      There was . first the usual advertisement , "A quantity of Tin Plate Workers wanted , to whom will be given constant employment , and the same wages aa have been given foi * the last seven years . Liberal advances made where required . "' We need scarcely say , that what those wages were are so well known to every Tinman in Great Britain , that that advertisement was not likely to be very effective . To tbis the hands put out a . rejoinder , short , terse , and effective ; stating , that Mr . Perry could have as many hands as he required , npon the only condition that he would pay the market value for his labour . The

      Committee perfectly agree with that reply , and would not advise any man to leave his employment , except upon the specific refusal of bis employer to pay the market . price for his . labour , which is the price which the men have themselves determined on , and which is now and has for a long period been paid by the most extensive , and by very far the most respectable establishments in the town of Wolverhampton . But these gentlemen appear . to have been even more impatient than their men , and adopted another scheme which will , we expect , turn out eventually equally abortive .

      The most tempting offers have been made to induce the men to enter into written engagements for a term of years ; and , as an additional bait , offers of pecuniary advances have been liberally made , and we regret to add , in some few instances successfully . Now , we know not which ofthe two characters excites in us the most supreme disgust : the man who would take an advantage of the poverty , the ignorance , or the vicious propensities of another , to induce him to contract a debt which he can have scarcely any prospects of repaying , in order that he may be made the slave and instrument , to enable him ( the employer ) to perpetuate the ; wrongs he has so

      long inflicted upon his workpeople ; or the wretched tool , who , devoid of all honour , princ ? ple and virtue , ia base enough to enter into so disgraceful an arrangement . None but the meanest and most depraved of his species would act so unworthily ; and we suspect that Mr . E . Perry has , by this time , discovered the truth , of this position , as we are informed that four or five of these fellows , to whom he had advanced -various sums , amounting in the aggregate to about £ 2 p , have taken to their heels , and gone on a summer tour to- the Lakes of Killarney , or to roam , perhaps , " amongst the wild scenery of the land of the mountain and the mist .

      However we may deprecate the conduct of these men , if our information be correct we heartily and sincerely rejoice in Mr . Perry ' s discomfiture . If he wul condescend to enter into such questionable arrangements with such disreputable characters , he need not be surprised to find himself outwitted . Such men and such proceedings we utterly deprecate and repudiate . We have no alliance With them : to Mr . E . P . and his friends ,

      belong the undivided honour of such coadjutors . The men and their acts _ai'e the necessary and usual consequences ofthe strike system , which _wesostrenuouslystrive to avert , and in no case have we strove more unremittingly than in the present . But as long as injustice exists and wrongs are inflicted upon tbe working men , for which the laws of his country gives him no remedy , there must be , there will be , and there ought to be , strikes .

      The Times says : — "The history of the manufacturing class is to be found in the history of strikes ; it is by the frequent recurrence of these that the vicious state of our labouring population makes itself felt most effectually , Strikes are but an organised expression of some ignorance , some restiyeness , some jealousy , some dislike—so much everybody knows . " Let us here pause to complete this descriptive catalogue of the existences which strikes are said to express . Do they not express theexistencef ' of . some deep injury inflicted , some grievous wrong long suffered , but no

      longer to bo endured , but for which the imperfections of our laws gives the injured party no remedy , except by the uncertain and unsatisfactory one of a strike 1 If the system of strikes be so objectionable , why do not the government constitute a board by which all disputes between capital and labour might be arbitrated upon and adjusted ? Why not adopt the system we have so long _recommended—boards of trade ia every manufacturing town , composed of equal numbers of masters and workmen , presided over by some perfectly

      independent party sworn to act justly , and the decisions of a board so constituted , to have the effect ' of law ? - . The answer to the why , is , because capital , assumes to itself , or rather usurps , a " power , above either law , reason , or equity . The Times , quoting , we suppose , from Mr . Tremenhere ' s last report ou the state of the mining districts , states , that " The great strike of the colliers and miners in 1844 , extended over a period of four months , and involved a loss to the coal owners as a body , calculated at _^ 200 , 000 , and a loss to the pitnien in wages of £ 300 , 000 . "

      This fact—if it be a fact , for it appears to us too monstrous for unadorned _truth---sufficiently accounts , for and amply justifies the strike in question . Here we have a very important admission , that the proportion between profits and wages in the coal trade , is two to three , or 66 s per cent ; that is , for every pound paid by a pit owner in wages he reaps a profit of thirteen shillings and fourpence ;

      and for this monstrous robbery upon the labour of the poor miner , the law provides no remedy , and ho is abused and vilified if he resists this great injustice , by the only means within his reach—a strike . ; We are from principle averse to strikes , and never sanction or countenance them ,, while ' any . meanB remain of obtaining justice ; but until tho lawy or the employers themselves , ; from a sensejof justice , recognise some more rational means fer the

      National ^ Association Of - , United/Tra...

      redress of grievances _^ or adjustm ent of _^ disputes— strikes—with all their concomitant evils and wasteful loss , never will , can , or ought to : be ; discarded by the workLn | _tnien , being the onl y means thoy have left of making their grievances understood or their power ¦ ¦ x

      felt . _, . ¦; ; . While writing this report information has just reached us ofa cunningly _deviscd-rbut a too transparent—trap , to inveigle the 'Wolverhampton men , and , perhaps , this . Committee , into _acts , which would at once bring them within the law of conspiracy . Two men in the employment of Mr . E . Perry , of the respective names of _MclNaughton and Briggs , _wei'd dispatched to Birmingham upon the very honourable errand of engaging men to hire themselves "for a consideration , _^ to that gentleman . One UndevhM , and three others , gladly ,

      we suppose , accepted the tempting but filthy bait . Shortly after thoir arrival iri Birmingham , and after having signed and sealed their odious bargain , and pocketed the wages of their infamy , they sought out the secretary of the trade in Wolverhampton , under the lying pretence that they had been deceived under false pretences , into the engagement they _; had entered into , and requesting to know , . under the circumstances , what they should do . ' _^ Tho answer was the only and proper one which could , or will be given to such scoundrels- _^ "Go back to Mr . Perry , and fulfil your agreement . "

      Now , these four vagabonds from Birmingham , were thoroughly ignorant of the beginning , progress , and exact position of the dispute , and their application to the secretary was a trap to lead him into an illegal act , coined in the brain of some one more cunning , biit scarcely wiser than their own- — " A weak invention of the enemy . "—Yes , truly , very weak . We are further informed , that these fellows were paid 20 s . to spend amongst them onthe eveuing they executed the bond , and £ 5 each , on the following morning . There is another case of a local preacher of the name of Crlover , who has been trying on a similar " artful dodge , " with similar non success . The Central Committee have no hesitation

      in giving the widest publicity to these cases , believing that such hellish expedients have only to be exposed to be rendered innoxious . We assure the Tin Plate Workers , that even the complaints we niade at the commencement of this article , of the non arrival of the decision of some few bodies of our members , has , while we are writing , come to hand , and the determination of the National Association to support them through this struggle 5 s now unanimously _resolyed on . Let them then be of good cheer , let them avoid these bondmen as they would basalisks— " whom to look upon is to die . " Let them but be true and faithful to each other , aud we have no fear for the result . Their case has hitherto been

      conducted with patience and moderation , let it still be so conducted . Let no man commit an illegal or dishonourable act in connection witli this affair . Be sober , be vigilant , for the tempters are abroad , prowling like wolves to see whom they may devour . We must quietly i _* nd steadily pursue the even tenor of our way , relying upon the justice of our cause , and the omnipotency of that public opinion , before which the greatest tyrants quail . We again this week insert two letters we have received from our _covvespsndents in Birmingham and Kidderminster ; and as they may be taken as the expression of the feelings elicited by this Wolverhampton case , in the breast of numerous and powerful sections of our organisation , they assume an importance which will , we hope , be a sufficient apology for their insertion .

      _Kiddermimg ' er , August 18 th . Deab Sir , —I feel obliged to you for the insertion of my letter of last week , expressive of the feelings and _sjmpathies entertained by the men of Kiddermimster on behalf of their Wolverhampton brethren . ItronMe _joui Siv _, with another , to assure you that those sympathetic foeliugs avemno ' _-wiseaim'mishsd , hut very much on the increase , and have been greatly promoted by your excellent arrangements to give such general publicity to your proceedings through the Abr'fter « Star . 1 assure you the Carpet Weavers are deeply . impressed

      with the immense importance of tms case , calculated as it is , unless conducted with great talent and circumspection _, to involve the Central Committee in difficulties , and , perhaps , endanger the Association . But 1 * 0 hare that unlimited confidence in your judgment , evinced in so many important cases , tbat we are determined to give you all the support you require , and to rally round the standard of that one great and extensive union of unions , and never fail in supporting ouv fallow men in contending for tbat we ourselves love so well— 'A fair clay ' s pay for a fair day's work . ' y ¦

      I would wish to remind men ef other , trades , how , m _timeBpast , men have been compelled , through tho monstrous tyranny of capital , to leave their homes and families , and go tramping * through the couutry in search _ofemployment ; and , when after a long and tedious search , tbey havo been compelled to return to their once happy homes , but now dismembered and made destitute by , their forced absence , when tbey have been again compelled to boiv their necl'S to the yoke of oppression ; and why ? forthe want of such an intelligently devised and conducted union as we ave now connected with 1 And I tvould now wish tb ask the men of my own trade , whether , uuv _' mg the last twelve months , and their connexion with the National Association , they hare been sub' ected to so many annoying attempts to reduce their wages , or to deprive them of some long enjoyed privilege ? and ,

      whether the few attempts which have been offered have not been promptly nnd successfully frustrated by the rational proceedings of the Central Committee ?

      Birmingham , August 13 th , Dear Sin , —In forwarding you a Post-office order for the sum of two pounds ten shillings per extra levy , I beg to aay that never was money sent under any circumstances or for any purpose , more freely er willingly than is this . I mention this to show ( that whatever may be said to the contrary ) wovlring men are beginning to seo their true position , and that it is their privilege—nny , duty—to aid each other when suffering from tyranny and oppression . And that this is equally necessary , _ichetiier they be men of own trade , in their own locality , or men at a distance . ; Sir , when 1 read your very excellent article in the _Northern Star of Saturday last , relative to the aftlu ' r at Wolverhampton , it appeared as though the ' men of our trade had received some fresh impulse , for the reading thereof was received with the most uiimistaUeable mavks of approbation , and at the conclusion , an unanimous vote was passed , approving ofthe policy pursued in the Wolverhampton case . -

      I only wish Mr . E . Terry had heen there to have heen an eye witness of tho scene ; I thinkit ; would have taught him a very important and useful lesson—viz ., that it is better to accede to- the lawful nnd honest requirements of the ¦ men in bis employ—that it is no trifling , matter to vovise the latent _eneigiM of . the working community ; that the capital of his working—viz ,, tiieir labour is held as dear , and shall be guarded with as much care , and watched with as much interest and attention , as though it consisted in bricks and morter , or take to itself the name of master .

      Dear Sir , I believe thafc the Wolverhampton case will prove to be an absolute good lo the National Association of United Trades . And that tho best thanks of tho members thereof are due to Mr . Perry , for having called into active operation the principles of the National Association . Nv _" d were going on so cfllmly and quietly , that I am fearful , that had not Mr . E . Perry , or some equally honourable gentleman aroused us , that wo might have gone into the sleep of self security , until we had become so enfebled for . tho want of exercise , that at some _unguarded moment we might have become an easy prey to some of his devouring and consuming species . _Timnks , tben , to Mr . _l ' erry ; I trust his timely interference will be the means of collecting more firmly together the united forces of the National Association , and th at an increase of some thousands of new

      rec ii ' ° ii lt 8 al , ' '* a ' y numerous ranks will ho added , who shall rally round the peaceful standard of union , and whose watchword is ""Equal justice to employed and employer . " That tbis will be the case I _nm assured , from the fact that since the case at _Iffolverhampton has occurred , and tbe report thereof has found its way into tho columns ofthe Norttiern star , it has created an amount of inguiry hitherto _^ parallelled in my experience ; and ninny , to my certain knowledge , have asked where the NovAeni Star may be , obtained , in order that they may have one , and thus be enabled to watch tho progress und final issue of this affair . Andhoro , sir , I would say , that I think the best the best thanks of the working classes are due to the editor of the Northern Star , for giving publicity . to oul' movements in _^ iis widel y circulated paper . Beli

      eving we shall come off victorious in tb » present struggle , uud that it will be fov _owgoo _^ ¦ I remain , yours truly , Mr . William Peel . Jons Hoimks . To these excellent letters , we can only say , the Central Coiriihittee ate rejoiced , _^ and justly proud , that their general policy is ; bo much appreciated and approved by their members .. . They will persist , through evil report and good report , in the same policy , from a . conviction that it is sound , just , and humane , and the only one by which strikes and their consequenceamay be avoided . ; a I . We have the most confident hopes _; of a I speedy settlement of the Wolverhampton case .

      Birmingham, August 13th, Dear Sin,—In Fo...

      . None butcharacterlessmen willaccept the ignominious terms of Mr . E . Perry ; we do not think enough can be found in the United Kingdom for his purpose , * and when found , they arc not to be depended upon , and that in a short time no one . will-be more glad to . get rid of them than Mr . Perry himself . ' ¦¦ '¦ ¦ ' William Peel , General Secretary .

The mother of the _children'it appeared , had heen dead Borne time . The children and their unnatural parent occupied a back attic , all slept together in one bed . The eldest girl was assaulted about a month ago . She did not tell what had happened , as her father threatened to beat her . She did tell a Mrs . Jackson some days afterwards , and this , added to what had occurred to her younger sister ' s case , led to the prisoner _teing given into custody . Mr . Tothill , surgeon , 8 , _CEarles-sti'eet , considered that an assault had been recently committed on the eldest ofthe two children . The prisoner denied the charge . He admitted that when drunk he might have exposed himself more , than was proper to his children . Fully committed .

She was fined in the mitigated penalty of 5 s . for the offence !

      . MANSION-HOUSE . — Juvenile Orimb and Parksxai . Neglect . —Thomas Ellis , a diminutive fellow , 12 years bf age , was charged , with having stolen a blanket , in which a sleeping infant , was wrapped . —James Boon ( 604 City Police ) : At two o ' clock on Friday afternoon I saw the prisoner running along a street near Iloundsditch , and endeavouring to conceal a blanket under his frock . I suspected , when I perceived that ho went towards Petticoat-lane , the place of sale for plunder , that he _vit . s going to be a customer there , and 1 asked him what he had got . He said he had his mother ' s _blankot , and was going to sell it for her . " Then , " said I , " you must come with me to your mother . " Rather than go to his mother he said he would

      admit that he stole tbe thins , but he would leave it to the police to find out where , as he would not take any further trouble about it . I afterwards found that tho owner of the blanket was a woman in very humble circumstances , who heard ber child cry , and upon going into her roem to see what was the matter , found . the poor child she had left comfortably wrapped up in the blanket , and aaleep in the cradle , lying naked on the ground . She immediately identified tbe blanket , which was found in tho possession of the hoy , who confessed' at the station-house that he had rolled tho babfy ' out of- it , and that he meant to get all he could for '' it 'i h _^ tJBi Lane . —Alderman Gibbs : This is a very bad _aSp boy . ' What have you to say about it \ The pfjjij

      soner : res , I look the blanket off the child , andi was agoing to sell it . I saw nobody in the room ; or I would have cut away . —Alderman Gibbs : Have you no home ? The Prisoner : Yes . —Alderman Gibbs : And father and mother _? The . ' Prisoner : Yes , in Spitalfields . —Alderman Gibbs : "Why don't you live at home with tbem ? Do J 0 H not get enough to eat there ? Tho Prisoner : Yes , I get enough when I am there , but I like to be with other boys , and so I don't go there . —Noon : I have often had my eye upon him when ho has been with a gang of thieves with which the who ' s place is infested . —Scott , the Mansion-house ' officer , said , the prisQuev ' s motto cam © to the court this morning with a child in her arms , and ; _said'the _bov was

      so incorrigible that neither father nor mother could turn him to any account ,, and that he had an excellent home to go to , but could not be kept in , and she hoped the magistrate would take care of the young rascal . —Alderman Gibbs : When a home is already provided for a child a prison is a very improper place to send it to . _> The parents are bound by law to protect their children , and I shall not be instrumental in removing tbis boy from the natural and legalcare to which he is entitled , to lock him up in a gaol in which there can be no chance of a change excopt for the worse . I am determined never to sanction the practice of filling prisons with children of such tender age , convinced as I am

      that the association which i 3 there inevitably brings all the bad qualities of those who are confined into play . I shall therefore , instead of relieving the parents of their proper responsibility by separating him from them for a time , order the boy to be whipped in the Mansion House in such a manner as will act upon his memory , and also operate as a warning to his companions , ahd then direct the officer - to take him home . —The Prisoner : Whipped ! Oh , no . Don ' t whip me . —Alderman Gibbs : He shall be well whipped , and the officer shall intimate to his parents that if he be found irandering about in a destitute or depraved condition again I shall seoto what extent tho law can punish them for their neglect . .

It was soon ascertained that the meat had been stolen from a neighbouring butcher , and it was stated that vory small children arc how much used in ; whipping away meat from stalls higher than themselves , under the direction of experienced thieves . ' _^ -Alderm an Gibbs learned , upon questioning the prisoner , that he too had a home to go to and parents to protect him ,

      and that of course the proper means of preventing him from associating with thieves had not at all been resorted toy - The sentence of the court upon him was , that'he should he well whipped and taken to his parents , with the assurance that any other such evidence of parental negligence should bo fo \\ ov _* en by an investigation of the most serious kind to those _' who wero bound to take care of him . ¦ Pickpockets is ' the River' Steamkbs . —Jane Skiff and Samuel Skiff wero charged with having robbed a lady of her purse containing five or six shillings . —Spittle , the officer who has known the prisoners for some time as pickpockets , saw them ' on Sundav evening act into a steamboat at the Old

" , She served him with thefale , which he drank ' and then held out his hand with

      some halfpence in it to pay for it ;' out , upoa . her attempting _^) take tbe money , he grasped her firmly byitne wrist , and pulled her head aud shoulders forcibly oyer to the other side of the counter , and in the most infamous manner , exposed his per-} sjHj ; It could not by any possibility have been ac' iSiaental , and , indignantly reproaching him with his | Mtnanly conduct , she struggled to extricate herself || om his hold , hut could not for some time do , so , _fontil the defendant , still pulling at her , wrist , offered , if sho would consent to take a walk ' with him , to present her with a satin dress .

      and entreated the magistrate to grant a somewhat longer interval , to afford the defendant an opportunity of releasing him from his responsibility .- As the defendant had deceived him in a veTy scandalous manner ; he had every anxiety to surrender him , if possible , and it would bo a manifest hardship if the amount of the bail were levied upon him . > Ho had met tho'defendantat twelve o'clock that day with a horse aiid chaise cart , and , on cautioning him to be in attendance , he promised to be so at two o ' clock _; but , had he had the slightest idea that he would failed in his engagementhe would have forcibly nulled him out bf tho chaise , and handed him
