SURREY SESSIONS, JULY 19.

Edward Partridge, aged 12 years, was indicted for feloniously
stealing a hat, value 205., the property of Samuel Partridge,
on the 13th of June last.

It appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner were brothers,
and that the present proceedings were adopted from motives
of humanity towards the prisoner, in order, if possible, to
save him from a disgraceful end. The prisoner for nearly
the last five years has been connected with a gang of thieves
about his own age, whose depredation in the neighbourhood
of the Borough have been carried to an alarming extent. The
prisoner had repeatedly committed robberies on his parents
and neighbours, and had been, in consequence of his youth,
sent to the House of Correction at Brixton upwards of six
times for such offences ; but all reformation appeared hope.
less, as had been only a few days liberated from the above
prison when he committed the robbery on the prosecutor. The
case having been fully proved, the Jury returned a verdict of
Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN, on passing sentence, observed that the
Court were actuated by motives of mercy, in the hope that, at
the period of his liberation, the prisoner might become a use-
ful member of society. The sentence of the Court was, that
the prisoner be transported for the term of seven years.
The prisoner appeared during the whole time with a smile
upon his countenance.

Mn. OwEN.—A Gentleman in Louisville, on
fhe Ohio, thus expresses himself on the schemes of Mr.
ROBERT OWEN Lanark Owen is here, establishing a
society on the Wabash, on a new plan. I was requested to
give my opinion on the merits of his plan, which I did in one
of the Louisville papers. I considered it as impracticable, from
the dislike that free-born independent men must have to be
told what they must eat, and what they must wear, and what
they must do, by a man whom they might soon consider as
neither better nor wiser than themselves. I also thought that
no man, not a slave, would willingly give up his children, at
the age of two years, to the charge of others, or consider him-
self as unfit company for his own child. 1 considered the
greatest part of the happiness of mankind to arise from the ties
that connect father and child, and that the severing -)f these
ties must tend to render them selfish and heartless. I believed
that there was not much advantage to be gained by co-opera-
tion of numbers—at least not enough to compensate for the
absence of those most powerful motives to exertion, the fear of
want and the love of wealth, neither of which could exist to
any great degree in a society where all was in common."—
