GUILDIL A I.L.

The young man in custody on a charge of robbing Mr.Knott,
of the 8.,i ley ,flow, in Sslisbery-coort, was ac.uin brought up
on Mmiday ; when a gentleman slatted, that thi . Knott had
not yet arrived, and twitted that the prisoner 'night be fur-
titer remanded ; but 4r. Homer opposed the application,
saying, that the prisoner and his brother bad remained fu
prusecitror's house a considerable time after the. supposed
11. eft. without any suspicion being whispered against them ;
anil'he was prepared to show that the charge of felony was
neve smile with a view to compel the payment of the debt,
and thtt the prosecutor had neteally compromised with the
prisolier's brother, and accepted of a sum of money to re•
lease him.—The prisoner was therefore discharged.
J. Hutchinson was a few days since brought to this Office
charged with a violent assault upon a gentleman in the street.
On being interrogated, he betrayed evident symptoms of de-
rangement and it was ascertained that he was .a native of
Hastings, where his father, a respectable tradesman, resides.
A letter was immediately sent to the latter,.wlio, in conse-
quence, arrived to take charge of hisson, intending to place
him iu his own neighboarbood. The above unfortunate indi-
vidual has for more than two years excited the attention of
the inhabitants of Hastings. He has, during that period oc-
espied a sort of cave hewn out of a solid rock, and in man.
ners resembled the hermits of ancient times. He had very
little furniture, and although possessed of a tolerable income,
scarcely allowed himself the common necessaries of life. Hr
was constantly to he seen with a bible in his liatid. He re-
ceived almost hourly visits from the inhabitants and visitors
of the place. but be very seldom took the slightest notice of
them. He had louse since obtained the appellation of the
hermit. Coustant saideavonrs had been made to induce him
to return to the lionse of his father,but he was always firm in
hisrefusal. A. shoit time since he suddenlydisappeared,atitlthe
general
supposition was, that he had laid violent hands upon
himself, until his father received the intelligence that he was
here in enstody.

BANK RESTRICTION.

Mr. GIIRMLL.—In consequence of the commenkation
which bad been made to the House on Thuesday last, by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the subject of the resump-
tion of cash payments by the Bank of England, felt himself
compelled to offer to the House a few considerations upon
the subject. He was not at all surprised at the communica-
tion made, though he was not prepared for it preeisely at that
time, nor had he any idea of the grounds upon which the
continuation of the Bank Restriction was to be proposed.—
He knew, however, that upon some ground or other inch a
proposal would be mad. to the House. He always thought
such a step would be taken when the period began to ap-
proach for realising the hopes of the country upon the resump-
tion of cash payments. He would now entreat the House to
recollect the promises which had been made by every Mem-
ber of his Majesty's Goveroineat upon this subject, particu-
larly by an Hon. Member (Mr. Hoek/mon) who was First
Conialieskuter of Woods and Forests. These promises, with
respect 'to the resumption of eAsh payments by the Bank of
England, were given by Ministers, with a confideuce and
boldness which nothing but a mond certainty of the result
couldjOstify. The promises of Governineut wet accompanied
with the assurances of the Bank itself. if the protestations

:cut statement, he felt completely astounded. Bad us
thought the busintss was, he had no conception that
it was quite a I had as it had been just represented.—
lie thought it necessary to have a Committee of the
ruprictort to try, in this dreadful extremity, to s;:ve
the property from ruin. With respect to the Bill in
Parliament, he had hoped that they would not be re-
duced to such a state us to be compelled to go to the
House of Commons, and comply with terms to which
none 4tit maniacs could agree. There was a clause in
the Bill to make holders of 1001. skews liable to be
called upon te pay additional sums•of money. In coc-.-
won decency, this should have Lem mentioned at the
last Meeting, and the Proprietors should have loco put
in p ssession of the rural stoat:, of their property, before
things had come to snth an extremity.
Lord kinnaird complained of tho tardy coramuria-
tiona madc by the Suh-C4tamittee as to the affairs of
the concern, as wen as of the sudden call upon the pro-
prietors to adopt an immediate measure.

Noble Lords been opposed. To the general tystem uf=Genie
Laws be was decidedly adverse, but while they were suffered
to exist, he thought it tight that they should operate alike
on all.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, with the best attention he was
able to bestow on the Bill, felt much difficulty in giving his
assent to it. He could not but perceive that it was a crime
to kill or sell game, it Was a crime el equal, if not greater
magnitude, to hny it; and when he heard of a person's being
scut to Dorchester gaol for the former offence, be could not
suppress a wish that the buyer of the game had been scut to
keep hint company.

GUILDHALL.

ANOTHSR Cairo STOLEN.—John Holdstoek„ describing
himself to be a seafaring rain, out of employ. wos brought
before Mr. Alderman Seikoley, by Everett,an officer, charged,
ander very suspicions circumstances, with having stuleu a
little boy about nine years old.
The mother, Mary Connelly, wife of a stonemason's la-
booker, residing No. 2, Long.walk, Chapel-street, Grub-
street, said she was from home sonic time on Wednesday
morning, and on her return she missed her little boy; she
made enquiry aniongseveral of her neighbour., host could get
no tidings of him. A woman, residing in the same walk, at
!ength recollected having seen the child early in the morning,
en company with the prisoner, who was well known about the
neighbourhood, living chiefly upon the charily of the inhabit-
ants. inquiry was immediately made at the borne where be
slept, but he had not been there all the day. The hour at
/which he generally came home arrived, but he never made
his appearance, nor did he come home all night, leaving the
'father and mother in a state of anxious suspense, too dreadful
to be described. As early as it was light, search was again
made for the prisoner, but it was not till tele o'clock on Thurs.
day morning, that the mother learnt that he :rad been seen
a the neighbourhood ;she inunediately went in search of him,
and charged him with having stolen her child. He at first
affected ignorance, and denied having seen the child; but
on the mother's telling him the information she had received,
and giving hien into charge of the officer, he confessed the
child had been out with Win for a walk, and that he had left
him behind. Under these circumstances, the officer felt it
his duty to detain him, and bring him before the Sitting Ma.
gistrate.
Oa being questioned by the wostliy Alderman as to what be
had done with the child, lie said the buy walked wills him oa
Wednesday morning down to Barking, where they both went
on board the Mercury sutack, Capt. Thomas Carter, and re.
mitred there till the evening; that he, the prisoner, left the
vessel to go on board another to sleep, at which time the
child was asleep in the cabin of the Mercury, and the Cap-
tain allowed him to leave it there, as the smack was com-
ing up to Blackwall the next morning, from whence he
thought the boy could find his way home. He slept on
board a vessel, and walked home in the morning, when he
was met by the timber, and given into custody as before
related. The worthy Magistrate thought his conduct rather
mysterious, more especially as he had denied all knowledge
respecting the child. He therefore directed that the prisoner
should be detaiired in custody until the truth of his story
wee ascertained; and iu the mean time ordered immediate
inquiry should be made after the Mercury at Blackwell.
On Friday he was again broasht up, when she story told

by him, it appeared, was true, so far as related to his taking
the child to Barking, and also on board the Mercury stnack ;
but it was not the fact that lie left the boy asleep in the cabin,
or that he at all recommended hint to the care of the Captain;
on te contrry, while the chil. whom he had reresente to
haveh neither father nor mother, was playing below deck, dhe
watched an onportunity and withdrew privately from the
smack. Captain Carter had taken care of the boy, brought
him up to Blackwell. in the vessel, and was making the
necessary inquiries to whom he belonged, wheu the father
and mother arrived, and the Captain had the heartfelt
pleasdre of restoring the child to his overjoyed parents. The
vole object of thesprisoner seemed to be that of decoying the
child'avray, but for what purpose did not appear. It was
also stated that he had endeavoured to decoy sway several
other cbjldren In the neighbourhood.
The worthy Alderman reprobated in strong terms the de-
praVityof the prisoner's conduct, and lamented it was not in
his power to punish hint ly for such an offence ;as how-
ever, it appeared be was a disorderly character, and had no
visible means of getting his living, be should commit him to
hard labour fur one month.

gordingly ; nor would he pay more than SI. for any damage
demi to parcels of less than Nib. weight; nor more than 20
per cent. fur any damage done to any parcel above that
weight. unless entered and paid for accordingly. The case of
Tate v. Willan, (2 Emt), which turned on a notice like the
present, was decided in Mr. Willan's favonr ; the Court haw-
* held that the notice formed a part of the contract, and
that it ought to have been stated in the declaration. In
Clarke v. Gray, (6 East), indeed, the Court came to a con-
trary decision on the same point, holding that the carrier's
contract was only to liquidate any damage that might be
sustained.

Mr• Wiliam, who thought it very hard that be should suffer
by the alteration of the law within so few years, especially
where his own case had established that law, insisted that
Mr. Searlett should move to set aside the verdict in the pre•
sent instance, relying on the former case.
The Court said they should introduce still greater saucer•
tainty, if they were not to abide by " Clarke and Gray,"
which had been decided after two arguments; and on great
deliberation.—Ride refused.
