POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
INHUMAN PARENTS,---A little fellow named James
Sharman, about eight years of age, was charged before Mr.
Knox, by Mr. George Wm. Martin, musical conductor,
residing at the Westminster Palace Hotel, with begging.
On the case being called, Mr. Martin was not in attend-
ance, and the child was discharged.
Subsequently Mr. Martin attended, and Sergeant Harri•
son said that although the child had been discharged, be
had not left the court.

Mr. Martin said that at 10 the previous night he saw the
boy with a baby in his arms about seven months old. lie
spoke to the boy, and was told by him that he had been
out since 12 o'clock, and had only got 11d., and that he
must not return home without Is. 6d., or he would get
severely beaten by his mother. Returning home frequently
at late hours from his professional duties, he (Mr. Martin)
often saw babies made use of for a similar purpose at all
hours of night, and in all weathers.
Mr. Knox said the boy had been before him and dis-
charged, and he could not break through the usual rule
and have him again taken into custody. At the same tine
every one must be thankful for the trouble Mr. Martin had
taken in the matter.
