there fur some time got to the river side, where he and ampli-

had not been many minutes in the boat when a six-oared cutter
approached at full spec., and although called to by persons
who saw that an accident was unavoidable if the cutter did
not alter her steerage, the coxswain kept his course, and,
as was anticipated, came plump against the wherry, cap-
sized her and threw the whole of the juvenile crew into the,
water. Prompt assistance was rendered by several who wit-.
nessed the occurrence and the majority were saved but appli- .
cant's son, and a lad of about 15 years of age were drowned.—
[At
this part of the unfortunate father's narrative his feelings',
overpowered him—he leaned against the table and the tears
streamed from his eyes.l--The moment the wherry was upset,
the cutter's crew were loudly hailed to assist in saving the poor
boys, but the inhuman fellows on board her paid no more at-
tention to this than they had done to the first call, but rowed
away with all their strength. i
Sir R. BlitNlE—Are the bodies yet found ?
Mr. Bull—No, Sir. They have been diligently searched
for, but as yet without success.
Sir it linteirE—lt is a most lamentable business; and I
pity you, Mr. Bull, with all my heart and soul; but I fear I
can afford you no redress. The case is altogether out of my ',
jurisdiction, unless you knew the fellows in the cutter, and then
perhaps I might do something. As it is you must await the ;
finding of the bodies, anti produce whatever evidence you may
be able to collect before the Coroner's Inquest.
Mr. Bull—Does the law provide no punishment for the con-
duct of my scoundrel of a servant, Sir Richard
Sir R. BIRNIE—No indeed.
Mr. Bull—Punishing him, or the cutter's crew, I am aware
would not restore my poor child to me; but it might deter
others from similar conduct, and save the feelings of other
parents from such a dreadful shock as mine experienced yes-
terday.
The worthy Magistrate repeated that he could give no as-
sistance at present;_ but fie in a low tone advised Mr. Bull as
to the course he had better adopt with a view to the furtherance
of justice.
MARLBOnOUGH-STREET.—A few days ago the Hon.
Capt. Greville, accompanied by some friends, applied to Mr.
Roe, the Magistrate, for his advice and assistance in recover-
ing a horse, which he had been deprived of, under the follow-
ing circumstances :—Capt. Greville said, that having a valuable
horse to dispose of, he sent it for that purpose to the Horse
Bazaar, in Portman-street, where it stood for sonic days on
sale, anti various offers were made to purchase it ; but none
came up to the exact price, below which lie determined not to
sell it, namely, 60 guineas. A person of the name of Clemente
son, who had previously offered 6W. for the horse, but was
refused, called at Capt. Greville's house, and said, that as he

Greville perceived, for the first time, that the check was dated like their brethren of the Peninsula, exhibited an almost general
