JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.
TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE ITRITTSR PRESS.
Newietirox, OCT. 16.
Sla—t if all the evils to which youth are exposed, none is so de. 1
mnetive to the motels, lie real its its conerspiences, as idleness ; it
leads, imperceptibly, into every species of vice, and if the dimmed-
ben is 'tot cheeked in its germ, it grows with their growth, till they
torero. familiar wills crime, and callous to its COCIAINILICIICVS. Fright-
ful as the picture is, it is daily resented to our new in this vast
metropolis; and there is no effectual counteractive but that of rm.
pinyon:so. Keep a lad employed, and give I use encouragement
for that employment, you make hint honest. Suffer him to remain
elk, awl heedlessly to intermix with other idlers, you make him a
thief. There is no alternative. The mind is active, and if not en.
gap d by honest pursuits, it will, as a matter of course, fool soave.
thing to fill.up the vacuum. Ilence anse the numberless Instances
of juvenile delinquency which fill air l'olire reports.
Slush to the credit of nor country, establishments are formed,
and still ate forming, fist the employment of juvenile delinquents.

timid/els are snatched from impending ruin;—hundreds who other.
wise would have been led into every species of vice, who wntild
LAVV become pros to society, and in all probability have forfeited
their lives as the just recd of their offences, are retrieved to the

their fellow-creatures. While such pleasing results proceed from

cher than a lively interest for all such establisi am are so

template the difference that might and must probably would have
existed, had it not been for this truly philanthropic. Institution.
It is to the child of misery and vice that this Establishment says-_.

It was my intentionto have made wine remarks on the now
er.llllllotl practice of molten taking out-door apprentices : hundreds
have fallen victims to its baneful consequences. A youth, no
longer under the watchful eye of a master, is left in an evening to
pursue Isis own pleasures as inclination or fancy may dictate. He
launches progressively into some expensive scenes of dissipation—
free and easy %mirth+, private theatricals, gaming tables, Ice.
He becomes involved, rot's none one, perhaps his master ; and,
ultimately, Inmates transported, or termuuttes his career oft the
gallows; all of which might have been prevented had he hero
luuked after with proper vigilance and rare. This to me appears to

D°earPl.l MN ROL It.—The co ttttttt tne of Mildly (arron-
dissement of Cambray), was on Sunday the theatre of
the mutt tragic vetoes. A man named Bernard, alias
• Bidet, 'mown to be of a violent temper, having drank to I
excess, quarrelled with one of his cousins, wishing to hitt ike •
and bite him. The company turned him out of the calm-
mt, but he soon re-entered, armed with a put, and stealing
behind his cousin, struck him so violently upon the head
that the unfortunate man fell down dead. At this terrible I
spectacle they all ran out in search of assistance. Bernard
assaulted all who were martin: door, broke four glass win- I
dows, tore the iron bars from one of them, made his way ,
through it, his hands covered with blood, and armed with
two knives, made a cut at one of his brothers, who had
joined his etliirts with those of his mother to stop him.
Pursuing another brother, lie gave him several stabe with I
a knife in difll•rent parts of the body. Ile nest wounded
in the hand one of the spectators who wished to disarm
biro—plunged his knife three times in the bowels of att
old man, who endeavoured to make him hear reason, and
who had aucmcded on former uccasions in pacifying him.
He then ran to an individual who came to the spot, and
threatened to kill him, and the same instant attempted to
give him a stab in the stomach. The latter was so fortu-
rotte as 10 avoid the blow, and to disarm the murderer, who
was finally secured in the garden, where he had fkil for
concealment. The stabs and wounds given by this wretch
amounted to SiB ; the wound* were not all of the same
dangerous character, but those of the old man afforded no,
hope of recovery. Nothing could equal the courage and
moderation of that unfortunate person. Ile was a soldier
on half-pay, who hail escaped the clangers of thirty years
mirviee. All they could give hint was the consolation of
roligion.—Cenirrier de Lenders.
iIIiROLARY.—SOON: villains, on Sunday night, effected

Princes-street, Cavemlish-square, and plundered the rooms
on the basement story of several articles of plate, a large
liver watch, and about So:. iu cash, with a quantity id'
linen and wearing apparel, with which they got clear off.

overboard tot Monday, while all the rest of the crew were
below deek, and, before boats which put off to his assist-
ance, could reach him, stink and was drowned. in the pre-
voce of several spectators. What renders the accident
• more lamentable is, that this youth, thus prematurely
cut off in the morning of his days, was the truly son of a
poor widow, residing at Fcrrybiiuk, opposite to the quay.—

On Monday night, about ten o'clock. the horse-keeper
lielouging to the Amity coach, took the horses, as usual, to
water at Waterloo Ford, in this town. Owing to the late
rains and high winds, the water had risen to an unusual
height, and the stream had become so strong as to carry
two horses and the man who had the care of them, one of
which he was riding, down the current. The latter, how-
reef, endeavoured to return, on whiolt the horse stumbles!
and the man fell over his head ; the clanger of his sitaatiou
now became imminent, but he was relieved front his cold
retreat by sonic assistance from Messrs. Banks and Goad-
man's dychouse, shout one hundred yards below the Ford.

following charge :
J. hakes, a watchman, stated, that on going his round about
two o'clock this morning, he observed a man lying down near the
kitchen-window of Mr. Stott, No. 19, Ilishopagate.street, who, on
seeing him approach, got up, and ran ■way. On reselling the
spot he saw the prisoner, who was then trying to get out of the arcs
witness forced him hack, and alarmed Mr. Stott's family, who
came down, and let him in. On proceeding to the cellar, they
found the prisoner concealed behind a cask ; and, on the ground,
elute to the spot. the athecr found a large bunch of skeleton keys,
one of which fitted the front door of Me. Stott's house.
The prisoner, in his defence, said, lie was walking down the
street, sheen he trod on the area railing, which gave way, and he
fell into the cellar, and on his endeavouring to get out, the watch-
man prevented him.
The Loan MAYOR paid, he should remand him till Wednes-
day, and in the mean time directed the watchman to keep a sharp
look out after his companion.

(.111VELTT TO ANI MAI. 11.•—ii chtertlay ('harks Brfmcfl, a
drover in SlTlidlfielli, WWI charged with cruelly beating a sheep.
C. Wheeler, an officer employed by the ;society for Preventing
Cruelty to Animal., and who makes it a part of his ditty to at-
tend Smithfield during the whole of the nights preceding the mar-
ket day*, when the moat horrid cruelty is practised, stated, that
about two o'clock in the moniing, as lie was in Switbfitld, he saw
the defendant beat a sheep about the head and body in a brutal
manner with a thick ash stick.
The Aldemian, having referred to the Act of Parliament, asked
Wheeler if, in his opinion, this beating was " wautun, cruel, 111114 i
unnpereifid ?"
Wheeler replied that it was.
Forshaw, a city countable, comvborated Wheeler's ratement.
The defendant denied that the beating was either •• wanton.
cruel, or unmerciful ;" hut that it was a mere proper force used
to draw the sheep from one pen to another.
The Alderman convicted the defendant in the penalty of

A man of the name of Me', who keeps a little poulterer's shop
in Crown-strett, Seim, was brought up, charged on suspicion of
having received a large quantity of pigeons, the property of Sir
Gilbert East, Bart., of Ball-place, "Seeks, knowing them to be
stolen.
It appeared from the statement of Sir filbert East. that on the
night between the Lith and 14th of September his dove-cote was
broken open, and the whole stock of
.pigeons stolen. There was
no one upon whom he could fix suspicion, but he caused active in-
quiries to be made, and it was ascertained that on the morning of
the robliery, about three o'clock, one of the long stage-coaches,
stopping at Maidenhead Thicket, took up two large hags filled
with pigeons, which were brought there by a countrymen. This
clue was followed up, and it was discovered that the bags were di.
rested to the defendant, at his house In Crown-street. and that
when the roach stopped at the Gloucester Coffee-house, Piccadilly,
the pour births were found by the poner so miserably crushed toge-
ther, that he took sonic of them nut and put them into a hamper.
Ile then sent one laul off with the bags, and another shortly after
with the hamper. The first boy, upon arriving at the defendant's
house, was asked by the latter where he brought the parcel from,
and was answered the Gloucester Coffee-house. " But who sent
It ?" said the defendant ; " That is more than I can tell you, Sir,"
said the boy, and there their conversation ended. %Viten the second
lad went with the other parcel, the defendant said, " OM, very
well ; it's all right ; what ato pay ?" The boy told him 7s. fid.,
which he paid. and gave him the price of a pint of beer for him- '
self. When Sir Gilbert went to the defendant's house the pigeons
were not is be found, but he thought it proper to have the de-
femlant brought before the Magistrate.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, declared he was entirely
free from any guilty knowledge in this transaction. It vase very
Colllrlloll thing for persons in the country to send up poultry, of all
description*, to dealers in London, and he took the pigeons in
question, without knowing from whom they mote, or anything
about them, concluding, as a matter of course, that the owner
would soon make his appearance. In this concluaiun he was
right, for in less than half-an-hour after the second boy was gone,
a country-looking man came, and claimed the pigeons as his own,
offering, at the same time, to sell them at the rate of sixteen shil-
lings per dozen. Defendant Aired twelve shillings, which he
thought the full value ; but the countryman refused to take it, and
took the pigeons away with 1 • . Phis was all that defendant
knew about the matter.
Sir G. East.—And so you paid 71. fid. for a parcel, without
knowing who rent it, or anything about it?
lkfendant—Yes, beause you know I had good security fur my
money.
Sir (I. East.—slid the countryman pay you back the 7s. ed.?
11efenclant—slid he pay me back the 7s. id. :—()-0-0
tee, of course he did ; certainly—certainly.
Magistrate—And the pint of beer?
Ifefendant--No, not the pint of beer.
Tistrate —Are you usually so liberal lo strangers, without any
d to yourself ?
Defendant—Why the truth hi, you see, that I forgot it. lam
hat three-pence out of pocket, sure enough.
Sir (i. Lied was about to put a question to the defendant, when
the latter interrupted hint with--11'll tell you what Sir (filbert
East, you have not behaved to me in this business in the way that's
right. When you came to my piece the other day, you 'sought a
man with you and wanted to confuse me by asking me all aorta of
questions. If you have any charge against me, it Is your business
to make it out, if you can, but you have no business to be cross-
questioning of me.
After some further conversation, the Magistrate ordered the de.
fendant to give bail foe his appearance so a future day fur further
examination.

JUVEMILS Four PADS.— James Darer and Henry Ca ,r, two
lads, the one about 12 and the other 13 years of age, were charged
with stopping a boy of 10 years old, of the name of Wood, on the
highway, and robbing hum of bis watch.
The little prosecutor is the son of • gentleman, residing In the
neighbourhood of Highgate, and on Saturday morning, as he was
walking up leerc-lane, towards 11 ighgate, the two prisoners jumped
over a wall, from a field, by the road side, and seizing hold of him,
they robbed hint of his watch, with which they ran away, leasing
him crying. Some persons who found him thus, gave information
to the constables, stet the prisoners were taken in the course of the
day, but the watch was not found upon them. They however con-
fessed that they committed the robbery. The little boy had
eb-
sertcl them watching hint when near Kentish Town.
They sere cutmintted fur further exaniinatiun.
HATTON-GARDEN.

Derinfe Hawke and Aliehael Rooney, two Irishmen, residing on
Sallion-hill, were brought up from Saffron-hill watchlemse.
'lleneley, the colooshle, stated, that an Irish party had met last
nigh; &boot Mut. o'cl‘ick, in a public-house on Saffron-hill, and
soon after they had drank ill each other's health. they proceeded to
ascertain each other's constitution by the fiat. Ile had repeatedly I
interfered to stop the experiments, but at eleven o'clock, the de
pendants, wishing to beat the landlord as well as an another, Barns-
ley took them into custody.
Mr. Make, when culled on for his defence, proceeded as fol.
your Honour, I was just going to my bed about
ten o'clock, whrn feeling shocking dry, I only just stepped out to
moisten my throat a blt, when I was wind by these gratferners and
nearly throttled. I'll say nothing about my eye flaying his finger
on one on which the me,roffirdo shading was very judiciously laid),
thlt. your Honour, spatkol for itself.
agistratc—Well, Homey, what have you to say
Itoouer--Mate your Lordship. I was just coming out of the
public-house, when I saw about two hundred pussoes running
down the hill ; says Ito myself, I goes out TN be smothered
by those devils ; and if I stops, may be they'd play the devil with
me, so away I runs as fast as toy two legs could carry me, to find
a lilac, to stand, and all the thanks I got was lobe dragged to the
wittehhouse.
After this eloquent defence, Mr. Molony stepped forward and ex.
hiliited on his head many marks of the defendant's violence, and
stated that he could not positively indemnify then, as the persons,
but that some of their party had carried off has watch, upon which
he immediately referred his case to the watchman.
'l'he Magistrate, conceiving that Mr. Ilittitt's thirst, and Mr.
Rooney's terror of parroor, was Dot satisfactorily accounted for, to-
dered them both to find bail.

calli;.g out `' M tinier ! " &c. lie armed hinisell,and
ran into the hall, where he townd his sister, at the door, railing foe
the watchman. She seemed terribly alarmed, declaring dram were
robbers up stairs. The watchmen and several persons came in, and
in the servant maid's bedchamber found the prisoner, partly an-
dressed. in Jane Wright's (the housemaid's) bed.
Miss it"ballson (sister to the lest witness) stated that ma she was
geltsg In put away her wearing apparel in her wardrobe. which was
in Jane's chatither, just as she had reached the door she bard the
Serval!! ,ay, (.ct out, hush ! here's a lady timing." Without
ascertaining who were inbide, she ran down in the greatest state of
alarm, calling out as had been described by the Imt witness. She
was in !lie 14hrtioni when the prisoner was discovered.
John Harrison, a watchman, said that when he went into the
room, he on turning down the clothes found the prisoner apparently
asleep, with Ids coat and one of his hoots off; the coat wits placed
under the pillow, and he appeared eta if he was comfortably settled
for the night. Ile instantly took hint in custody ; he said that lie
had been introduced into the room by Jane, whom he had courted
fur the last three months.
Jane, the servant, a pretty-looking girl, about seventeen years of
age, declared that she never had let the prisoner into the house; she
had seen him about the house about ten o'clock, and had desired
hint to go away. At eleven o'clock site went up stairs to bed, and
just as she got into the room, Miss Itoblmion called to her not to
fasten her door, as she waited to put away MA things. tht looking
to the bed, she saw the prisoner there, and was notch al ,need ; she
desired him to " get out, as there was a lady coming ; " but never
said " hush." She had kept company with the primmer, but had
never given him any improper encouragement, and knew nut bow
he came into the house.
Mr. Robinson said he wished to know whether the prisoner had
got into the house by the pcfrialalliwll of the servant girl or not? She
had sworn that he did not; lie should therefore prusecute him for
the offence.
The prisoner again declared that the girl had introduced him ;
that whenever it was convenient she would make a signal by plat.
ing a piece of paper at the window.
This the girl admitted, but strongly denied introducing him into
the room.
Captain Edwards, the prisoner's master, gave him an irreproach-
able character for honesty, and as Mr. RiMinson expressed his
determination to prusteute, became responsible for his appearance.

110.,r-sTr...,...—litionnation was lodged at this office by a
gentleman instructed to du so by the pmprietor of II inlington Farm,
Eastmoor, Hants, who stated that the county of I laras had lately
been subject to the visitation of a gang of horse-stealers, and they
had succeeded in carrying off many very valuable geldings, path-
ctlarly • very valuable blond horse which had been stolen front
Riplington harm ; front mute circumstances which loud tran-
spiral, it was believed the thieves had taken the road to London ;
indeed they had been traced • very considerable distance on the
road, and the gentleman begged an officer might be allowed to ac.
company hint to sonic places, with a warrant authorising him to
search for the horse.
The Magistrate, after a private conference with the gentleman,
directed Staples to accompany him in his search.
Was •)10)11.1 Tait l'OT•1110Y11.—I1enry Cross, pot-man to the
White Hors*, Oxfurtbatreet, appeared on a warrant, charged by old
, Sally Batty, the dwarf fiddler, with demoltsliing her fiddle.
Mrs. Batty, in a tone expressive of the deepest sorrow, and with
• rapidity of utterance that to fellow would be impossible, stated
her complaint. She had on Satu'rday evening gone into the White
Horse, and stationing hetself amid a noisy gruup in the tap-room,
asked them whether she should " favour them' with a display of
her " exquisite taste ?" They demanded what she meant by " ex-
quisite" and " taste," and finally came to the conclusion that she
was anxious to " taste" the exhilarating beverage before them, and
imagined them to be dandies of the first water. However, at all
events it was detennintet that a tune should he had, but unfortu-
nately she made a bad display of her taste, as she fiddled a hymn
alluding to the reformation of sinners and change of hearts. Instead
of this producing these effects, it had the very contrary, as all ex-
claimed against any hymns, and called upon her for mote popular
—and to them, perhaps unfortunately, more pleasing music. She
demurred, and finally quitted the room. As she was quitting the
house, the defendant, more deeply to mark the indignation of him-
self and friends, broke her fiddle to pieces with • stick, and foe this
outrage she demanded ample compensation.
'Poe fiddle was produced: it was in a shattered state, and the
handle was broken off.
defendant exclaimed, " So help my word of honour, gem-
men, I did not break that 'ore fiddle, belonging to this here woman,
it having been time accidentally; and as now as it's done it cannot
be undone, but must be done up, I vill make it good, and tip her
the damage.
Mrs. Witty—But, your Worship, my time must be paid for ;
and I values that at are shillingsan hour, making in all a good round
bit of money. She enforced this new complaint with such rapidity
of utterance and variety of expression, that Mr. Raelinson ex-
claimed—" My good woman, your tongue runs as fast as your
fiddle."
A rompentatlon was finally agreed to, to effect which they quitted
the office together.
Another pot-boy, named Newman, of the 'Devonshire Arms, was
charged with giving his sweetheart a black eye.
A very gay, talkative, end spirited damsel, named Vickery, hav-
ing every appearance that persons commonly judge to precede
becoming a mother, said, that Johnny Newman kept company
with her, but had lately become jealous of one Philip Cooper, who,
he suspected, while delivering his master's Ina, came and courted
her. This so far worked upon his feelings, that in the very ecatacy
of his tortured imagination, he committed the assault of which she
displayed ample marks.
Johnny Newman denied, Its foto, the assault, and accused the fair
of infidelities of rather too indiscriminate • description to detail
here, and, as he declined paying expenses, he was desired to find
bail.
The lady, as she departed, gave a shrewd hint of her intention to
charge him with the young one. This uncomfortable intimation
Its received with great philosophy.

The prosecutor4who is a very old man, was desired to state his case;
but his memory was so treacherous, that he could not recollect the 1
day or hour on which the assault was committed, or his landlord's
name; but by the old of whispers from behind, he was enabled to
state, that on Wednesday last he was at work in his garden, when
be was very much abused by the defendants, who are his next door,

above facts, and further mid, the female defendant spat in his face.

berme ; be ran up, and seeing the prosecutor spit in his wife's face,
he dad certainly kick him. Ile could produce witnesses, who would

*am the complainant's wife, by beating her with the handle of a

so Alm Davies, but Instead of her, the complainant made his ap-
pearance, first calling her filthy names, and then spat in her face,
which he repeated, and in endeavouring to avoid, placed her hand
on one side of his face to turn it, and that was all she did. tier
husband came up about this time, and seeing the usage she had
received, did kick complainant.
