Mr. SCARI.LTt moved fora rode to shrw cause
why a alit of • mandanms should not issue io this

Nothing of public luterest occurred in the Cons.

we o'clock.

A circumstance occurred in the Police Court on
Wednesday, which proves that the depravity or the
boys in this rity, and the elsosber of mimeo com-
mitted by th.ete, are more to be. attributed to the
oil/brews of their metes than to Noy Mime cause.
Four buy', the thirst not exceeding eleven yeas
of age, were charged with breaking into • cellar
and stealing • quantity of bottles. Their immure
were Rent for, and the father of the oldest of them
having been tithed by the Magistrate if he had ever
put Ins son to school ? Nesswered, that he never
had. neither had he ever token him to church, or
read the Bible to him, or instructed him ier the
principles of morality The Magistrate declared
he hail never wilitesaril such a case of unprincipled
depravity, anal ad bed the tionatural father. if
