DEATH OF

ROGERS.

The public will learn with regret the death of
Mr. James Rogers, the comedian. For some time
he had been suffering from ill health, and it was
thought by his medical attendant that the change
of air and scene might be attended with
beneficial results. Accordingly Mr. Rogers took
up his residence at the Isle of Wight,
and such was the improvement in his health,
that he accepted an engagement from Mr. Frank
Matthews to join the company at the St. James's
Theatre. Accordingly he made his first appearance
there on Easter Monday in the laughable burlesque
of " The Sensation Trial of Effie Deans." The hopes
of restored health proved groundless, for, after
appearing two nights, Mr. Rogers was again taken
seriously ill and confined to his bed. From this
attack he never recovered, and he died on Wed-
nesday evening last at his residence, Shaftesbury-
crescent, Vauxhall. Burlesque has lost one of
her most talented pupils, and those who
had the good fortune to witness the burlesque of
" Kenilworth," in which the deceased gentleman
sustained the part of the " Virgin Queen," and that
of the "Lady of Lyons," in which he appeared as
the Widow Melnotte, will be of that opinion.
Mr. Rogers was quite a young man. We believe
the cause of death was disease of the lungs.

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 att;nded, and Sergeant Harri-
son said that although the child hack been discharged, ho
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. He
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 holue without ls. 6d., t.r he would get
severely beaten by his mother. Returning hot.) 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 time '
every one must be thankful for the trouble Mr. Martin had
taken in the matter.
