He 'had had good food ever since he was taken from her ; and he did not wish to go hack to her again, because he was afraid she would kill On t the pat of the defence, several witnesses were called to prove the uniform humanity of the mother to, all her children alike. The first of whoM was her eldest son, a young man about twenty, and he swore, that as often as lie went_to his mother's-house; ~which Was every other Stmi day during the months of i\icy, June, and July, this child always dimd, and was along with all the other children he never knew that be was confined or fed ir a separate room. Her second son, about sei'enfeen'; her daughter, about fifteen ; and her mother, an aged Nyman, all swore directly to the- same effect ; hut Mr. Gurney, for the pro- secution,,declined to cross-examine any of them. The Chairman then summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after retiring for two bejul:s, reOuh el their verdict, Guilty; but - recommended - the prisoner to mercy, on account of her family. POLICE. MANSIQN-TIouSE.---FOrgCry,.—John and James OA, the two boys Who were, on Friday last, charged with committing a forgery on the hove of Messrs. Fry and Co: were yesterday brought .up for re-examination, Mr.. Fry, however, hay ing declined proSeenting„ on account of their teo der age, the LORD MAYOR discharged them, with a severe admonition. It further appeared, that Mr. Fry had seen the mother of the little (glen- - ders, and had, with her, arranged a plan for the future ware of the elder boy, Cru:lty to AnillollB.7—John Lawlei., a drover, be longing to Smithfield Market, was charged by Brown,. the Officer, witlr maltreating s bullOck in Norton-Falgate, on Monday last. It appeared. .that the prisoner, with several of . his brethren, hadpursued. the unfortunate animafrom place to place, heating it most cruelly with large sticks' about the legs. The LORD MAYOR observed, that hehad himself frequently observed similar acts of and should invariably punish the de • linquents when brought before him ; he therefore directed the defendant to pay a fine of 20s. De-'. fenclaut prayed :laid for mercy, stating that he .was a poor man, and ill able to pay. Alarge sum. The LORD MAYOR, however, retharked, that hi had shown so little * Mei,•cy to the poor creature . under leis' charge, that he felt no disposition to extend any lenity whatever to MM. :The prisoner . then paid the line, and was dischartrcch A Gentleman was summoned - ty a Hackney' Coachman for nCt paying bins the fare he demand , . ed. The Centleinan, who was attended by. a Counsel, pleaded the oVer-charge, he having only,: his wife and family with him, three, of whom were children under thirteen 'years of age, and. whom. the Coachinan wished to-prove adults, and liable to the over-chargeof one shilling each over four. The Coachman said, he understood • any child, who could sit alone was an adult. This, .however, was denied by the Counsel, who said, no persons: Were adults till they were grown to the size of men or women,- or were 2i years of age. The Act. of Parliament being; produced, the Loßty MAyottwas of the Counsel's opin i on, and gave it against the Coach Man, adding, that he hoped this would serve as' a precedent for the future. Bov. - -sTREgT.7---Vesterdkty George Green, a well known street-hustler, was brought bqote Mr. READ, the Sitting Magistrate, Charged with being concerned with .two other.s .in robbing a butcher; who resides in Brown-street, Edgware 7 road, short time .since, in Oxford - -street. The prisoner knocked him dowry ; - after which the prisone companions rifled hiS pockets of Bank-notes to the amount of N. and robbed him of his watch. It so happened the prosecutor knew the prisoner-, and altiniugh he and his -Companions made their escape, at 'the time they committed the robbery, he indicted them at the late Westminster Sessions. Taunton received private information that the prisoner was at a house of ill fame ii) Holborn, on Monday evening ; he accordingly went there at a late lniur on Moriday',niglit, and knowing him to be a desperate character, and suspecting he would make a violent resistance, after gaining an easy admittance into the house, having armed himself with a loaded pistol, he presented it to thepri soner as, soon as he saw . him, but not the least re sistance was offered, although he bad two compa nions. with him. Taunton, on searching him, found a knife with a number of blades, and in struments to be used as picklocks, part of a gold watch-cmn . gold ear-rings, • exc.- The prisoner was, committed for trial. - • A few days since private information was re ceived at the Office, that' a large quantity of bell- . pewter, - lead, iron, &c. was in a copper,"liOnse Chariton-street, Mary-le-bone, cOm m i - . only called an old ron.shop, which) Nvere strong-, ly suliected to have been stolen; or improperly come by ; and in consequence a warrant was sued, and-Adkins was dispatched to e...ecute The Officer found - a' large quantity of articles of the 'above description ; together with a large ves sehiSed.for melting pewter, and strongly suspect ed to be used q)rincipidly for melting publicans' pots that had been -stol.en . The Officer. called upon the occupier to produce.the book where he enter ed the particulars of the purchase of .those arti des, with the names of the parties, their descrip tion, and places of abOde, as directed by the.. Act of Parliament for regulating such houses.; but the man acknowledged he had no such book.

Thdmas .E4argon,• lately employed as of ice keeper in tlie'of4e of faje ! ity's Quarter- Master-General, stoodlndictedfor fraudulently al tering.; in a bill krona the coach-office of the George Inn, Southwark, the sum of 3s. Id. to 13s. Id. for the carriage and p'orterage of a parcel from Hy the; and thereby defrauding hip Majesty.. The prosecution was carried on by order of Go vernment ; and it appeared from the :evidence, that the traverser bad h?en many years employed as office-keeper, and that it was a part of his duty to - receive all parcels addressed for the department of the .Quarter-Master-General, .to pay for the same, and to present. his accounts once a 'quarter to the head of his departmetit. On the !.41th of October last Year, a parcel was breught - from Hythe, to the Office, and the charge upon the bill for carriage was 2s. Id. with postage Is. which the inn porter received from the traverser,' - .who,- in settling h 6: account in January last, charged for this parcel 13$: ,Id. and in order to make the voucher tally with the item in his account, he placed the figure one before the two, and so made it 12s. Re received a draft for the balance due to him, on Messrs. Cox and Greenwood ; - which was regularly paid. In consequence of some sub sequent discoveries, his vouchers were re-examin ed, and upon examining the -books at the George Inn, the fraud was discovered. The Jury. found the prfsoner Guilty without he sitation: The. traverser was the: tried: upon another in dietment of a limilar nature, for several charges 'of 3s. Gd., and 'l3s: -alleged, in his ac connt, to have been paid at the White-horse Cellar, Piccadilly, on.different dates, for the con veyance of . parcels from his 'office to Mahe. It appeared, on the testimony of Mr: Robinson, clerk of the coach-office there, that no such, par= cels werebooked-there for Ilythe, and consequently that no such payments had been made as those charged by the traverser. He was accurdingly 'found guilty on this indictment ,aLso. - 'The CHAIRMAN, in proceeding to pass sentence; observed, that the amount of those specific frauds were on, a scale so small as not to be apparently, of much importance; but the facts became of very great importance, when it was considered bow many hundreds of persons ,were confidentially cal-: ploved in the various departments of Governmenti in situations like the traverser's; and whose frauds to a great amount, though smallin detail, might either 'pass unsuspected, or elude discovery by the management of such persons, and through J.he cUlty oftletection in the minuteness and complicatiOn of their accounts. It was really shocking to ,re flect.,:thar,while the real exigencies of the Gevern-. •me nt ddilY calledf or b u rthe on,the people, • under the presstTc of the times, they were s.carce able to bear, these burthens should be still more heayily increased by the frauds of persons en trusted with the disbursement ,of public money. Acss Of this kind, therefore, whenever- conviction could be brought home.to s the criminals, called for most exemplary punishment., The Court was empowered in this case' to pass on the traverser sentence of transportation : however, on account of. his years, they . would .not inflict on him. that punishment, and therefore only sentenced -him to twelve months' itnprisOnment on each conviction. MATERNAL CRUELTY.-Eliza&eth . Bruce stood indicted for cruelly starving, unmet ciialiy beating, and otherwiSe. most 'inhumanly- treating her own 'son,' Robert Bruce„,a, child under . eight years of age, in the month ofJune and July lest, in Spital fields. , The circuinktances were shortly these The traverser is a widow with eight children, and was pregnant with a ninth. at the time this cruelty was discovered, In consequence of the finlignant'rumpurs of, the inhabitants of the neigh bourhood, a publican, named Icomewovd, xvho lived 'in the vicinity, went to the apartment, where the poor child was confined; and fOutui him almost naked, perfectly squalid with filth and emaciation, from apparentlarnine; He interrogated the child, who, frotu. his appeared not more than four years old ; on being convinced from his answers that his own conjectures were well-founded, lie brought him to his house, gave hina focid, and immediately acquainted the parish-officeti; 'who forthwith applied to the Magistrates at the next police-Office, and the mother was taken into ens tody. Mr. Fox, a surgeon, who examined the child, said, he found him in the utfilost state Of"'Misery and dejection, emaciated-almost .to a skeleton, from famine. The child had no disease; nor did he adthiniSter any medicine. But from the change of treatment, cleatilinelis, and food, his . appear, mice xi-as so much altered for, the better, in three Or four weeks, that he should not have known him again it he had not frequently seen him in the interim... • ' . Elizabeth Jones,. a lodger in the same, house with- the• mother, .Rose ItObins, another lodger, and Mary gall, occasionally employed to wash for the mother, who kept an eating-house, also gave evidence of the cguel treatment of the child, totally different from that of her seven other child ren;three of whom were grown up, and it was stated, she treated.with the greatest kind ness. It appeared, -also, front their testimony, that the little victim was 'confined in a room Over the scullery in the yard, and not suffered to play aboutwith the other children ; that he Was fasten _ ed by the leg with a small iron chain to some post or other immovable thing in the room ; and that although he was thus prevented from - a ccess even to the water-closet, the poor child, for .theinevitable consequences i ‘of such a priva tion, was severely beaten by'his 'mother. Mary in particular, proved, that while she washing up dishes in the scullery, the child, by some Means,.got down to the yard, where he took -cabbage-stalks out of the hog-wash tub, and concealed them under his littlegarments.for food; that be even took the grease off the • candlesticks to eat, and asked her for water to drink from a dirty pail she was using ; ar4d that the mother bid her take care of the candle-ends in the candle sticks, as she could not keep a bit of candle for this boy; that on her representing co the mother that the poor child, she believed, had not enough to eat, she answered, "he had, a craving disposi . tion, and was never satisfied." .
