Mt. °maga, for the Society for the Protection of Game,
said that wee the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Morgan (for the defence) said he must submit there

take wee that the ace which bed been brought under the
nonce of the police merle recently wee an English act of par-
liament, end referred to English genie only, and under that

out to the English market, which took the offence out of
the tokenise act of parliament Worm the court.

Mr. Morro said the last clams erttled the pilot. ow It die

Aldermen Carter maid it certainly seemed that Scotland
wee exempted from the operations of dud act.
Orridge said the aims of killing might be taken out
of the jurisdiction of that set but there was AM the offence
of having the game in his possession In contral,entka at the
act

Mr. Morgan maid that the birth in question ware consigned
to his chant by a Mr. OaLow, of Aberdeen, in • hamper in-
voked to him as containing eighty grouse, and the block
pine season and tha grouse season came so does one on the
other that black game wereoften shot by mistake, there being
so WU Moreno, between the two descriptions of game, sad
when each occurred the dealers consigned them all under the
heed of grouse to the London market.
Alderman Carter said with regard to the ale of game out
eM asenon, he thought • dealer had as great a tight to sell
black pose that came from Scotland as he had to eell gases
that came hoar Norway, or any other part foreign to that
sot.
_ _

Mr. Orridp said by that act the dealers had no right to
take or kill geme out of semen, and although it had been
argued that this game came from Scotland, and that it was
therefore exempt from the provisions under which these pro-
atedinp were taken, at the same time he deals in pine
under the authority of this very act.
Alderman Cuter said be was of opinion that these birds
were Scotch game, and that the dealer had • perfect right to
sell them, am the taking and killing of the Dn& . in England
had not een proved.
Mr. Om* asked the magistrate to convict the defendant,
and allow him to appeal on the point of law.
Alderman Carter said he could not do that, inasmuch se
the case had not been made out to hie satisfaction. lie took
a common sense view of the case, end he therefore had no
hesitation In quashing the complaint.
Mr. Orridge inquired if he decided upon the facts of the
case or the question of law P
Alderman Cuter said he was of opinion that the act f
timid only to gland, sad that the facts proved did not
justify him in conuctiag.

peietor of se exhibition opposite Limahoum church, mule
before Mr. Yardley with a poor boy, abet 14 years of age,

sad with his nakedness scarcely cons algid by • few old rags.
In this stale, said Mrs. Johnson, the poor lad has been honed
oat of house and home; he has Men ill.useil and half-
starred, end now he is glad, poor fellow, to come bat k to us
trio.
Mr. Yardley asked for an explanation of the woman's
statement, and it was owed that • few months *inn Mrs.
Walker, • poor Irishrrwman, living in Rotherbiths, cilatuird
she boy as her um, sad said he lad bean stolen from her In
Kent, when he was an Went, and sold by the person who
awls him to Mr. sad Mrs. Johnson for 30s. and a pot of beer.
It wee also shaped that Johnson had made • profitable
spsenlation of the boy, and exhibited him throughout the
country as • Pamble. An old woman named Mason, living
in Maithaoss, dated the boy as her grandson, and mid be
bed bra stoles feces his mother. sines dead, when he was
three or fear years of age, in thsasighbourhood of Rochester.
'amok whs bad always behaved want* the toy, and gees
him Sooty of food, said he had pos.easioa of in. boy many
ream, and ciliated tieright to rusk bkm. The Walkers

produced a certilicatid copy of the register of baptism of the
boy at the Roman t "hobo church, and their
claims to the parentage appeared so irresistible that on the
boy declaring a preference for Mrs. Wallow, she was alloeed
to hays the coatody of him. It ins at the same time re-
promatad that Mrs. Walker was sae'', drunken, and du-
@Mated ebarettia; sad Mr. Yardley sabered net look well
Sher the boy, and directed that the polies should oocsaionally
look eller tier, and ascertain whether the b./ WWI prow:).

Mr. Yardley laid there was a groat alteration in the boy
Ice the worse.

Mrs. 10tinete, who really displayed some interest in the
boy's welfare, said she was pained to see the child in the
state he was in, and that she and her husband always treated
bias well.

- Mr. Yardley said the boy on a fernier oceadokamidat the
etiversl casitsimts, gave the preference to Mrs. Walker, and
it wee evident he hid made a very bed eeleotkm. The boy
might remain with the .Tobneons if he plowed, end ea s
tumbler, acrobat, or whatever he might be called, he would
have his liberty. A roving life had its charms. In John-
son's prollearkm fame and profit might be achieved. He woe
sorry Kra. Walker ever had charge of the lad, for abs had
grossly neglected the trust reposed in her.
The boy then left the court with Net. Johnson, apparently
quite overjoyed it the prospect of resuming his former pr,.
(elision. He is an into good-looking boy, with an un-
mistakeable Kentish face.
