STRIPPING.—On Sunday last, about four o'clock,
a child on returning from a walk with its mother, lingered
a little behind her while she was ascending a stair in Castle-
street, where they reside, and was decoyed to Hope-street-
lane, by a boy, who induced it to accompany him by a
promise of sweetmeats. The little miscreant then took
the child into a cart and stripped it of its trowsers, a flannel
petticoat, and a band. On Wednesday, a similar offence
was perpetrated also by a boy, in a close in the High-street.
