dren in the City, and afterwards marrying a se-
cond wife at Edmonton, by whom be had ano-
ther child, was again brought up, and the Parish

BOW-STREET.—It was yesteslay stated that, a

suspicion of being concerned in robbing her mas-
ter's house of a silVer watch, and other property

farther investigated yesterday at this Office, when,
a-scene of early and aged depravity was" iscovered,
in which a parent 'was proved to have been training
up his son, from infancy, to infamy and house-
breaking.
Yesterday morning a man went to the shop of
Mr; Allen, pawnbroker, iii Russell-street,Covent-
garden, and offered a watch to pawn for thirty
shillings. Mr. Allen, suspecting the watch to
have been stolen, questioned theonan as to how
he became possessed of it ; WIYO not being able to
give a satisfactory answer, he sent for Smith, be-
longing to this Office, who took him into cus-
tody. Having recognised him to be a man of
the name <of Thomas Boggintea, and ascertained
that the watch had been stolen from Mr. Hill's
house, Smith' went to search his .premises in
Long-lane, in company with Goff, the officer,
belonging to Union-Hall. There was the ap-
pearance of a' smith's shop, which they'search-
ed, and fouiid a number of impleMents for
house-breaking. They found a son of Bogginten's
there, a boy about 13 years of, age,who asked if his_
father was taken into cdstody; they informed him
he was, and to convince him, they sheaved him
the watch which had been stolen from Mr. Hill's
house. The boy then confeised that . his father
was' very intimate with Ann Ashmore, and that she
and his father planned the robbery of her master's
house. He sahrhe had accompanied his father on
the occasion, ,and described
,at length' the mode in
which the house was broken open. The boy has
since confessed that his father had instructed him
to assist in housebreaking from his infancy. The
'prisoner was sent to Union-Hall-Office, where the
investigation commenced.

A good way to pay old debts, and to prevent
the recurrence of them in future, is to .buy a
