lord, who bad a not less iinFortaist interest of this
abridgment of his 'rights. The landlord had a
prima facie right to distrain nponall gods found ow
his premises. which were assumed by the law as his.
There were, however, he adirotted. exceptions to this
right ; which were goods at an inn, or u wharf for
iarriage, or goods at a weaver's or a tailor's, or other
artisans to be wrought. The ground of the excel,-
- iion• he contended. was the necestity of placing the
goods iu the howl. of a third party, to undergo
some process or manufacture, which was not the
•ervie with goods in the hands of a factor, which were
only there to be sold. Why did not the owner or
manufacturer sell them himself?—lf he did not
choose to do so, he mast submit to the inconveni-
voce of his own seeking, and shire in the risk to
which all coder-temitits were subject.
• The Cella, JUOICE said, the right of the land-
lord to dimwits for rent was clear in pow of law
sad the rule was to take all that was found on th;
premises, prima facie as belonging to the landlord.

The foundation of the rule was the principle of pub-

principle of the exceptions was very clearly laid

of public convenience in trade. and seemed to

t..iling• upon this cave by unology fiorti the

a plaint of a father routing a 3011, • boy only eleven
years of age, who he cherged with robbing him, and bad
been in the practice of doing so fur the last three years;
in fact, he charged him with being the most abandoned
wretch, and with having, committed almost every crime that
one of his age was capable of; he was in the cocooned habit
of picking pockets, aid generally slept ander the Piassa,

a short time since before Sir Richard Birnie, when be was

their rates and regulatioas; he had- also broken out of a
workhouse, where he bad been placed to be taken care of.
The Magistrate suggested to the father that be thought be
might keep him in his own house and punish hiss.—
The father, in leply, said, that he had tried all means, and
found it impossilak to have him ire his house, as he su con.
stonily rubbed him; he had tried hiss also with every in-
dulgence; and he had not been wanting for money.
The Magistrate said, that be thought he was wiring in
supplying such a child with money, Ili hr could not possibly
waut any : and as Iris (the father's) perish/nem did nut
have soy effect upon him, he (the Magistrate) must try
what lie could do. He should therefore commit him as a
vagabond fur two months' inipi nominee( is the House of
Correction, and to he well whipped in the prison.
The buy appeared quite hardened, callous, and uncon-
cerned to what was passing.

About seven o'clock on Sunday evening the 4th
instant, a female infant, about a month or five
weeks old, was found at the door of Lanover-house,
Monmouthshire, and is. small bundle of dirty clothes
belonging to the child. There is little doubt that
the mother had 'nosed three hours in and near the
village previous to her leaving the child, and that
she was tall, strong, and about twenty years of age,
and had on a black bonnet, with a broad red rib-
bon(' round it. As there was nn suspicion of her
intentions when she cat in two different cottage.' to
warm and suckle the child, no particular notice was
taken of the other parts of her dress. It is believed
that she came from Bristol, and had walked front
Newport on S lay. The child was left in such a
situation at the door of BENJ. IVA DOLS OTON, Esq.
that it is wonderful it was nut trodden upon !
