to inquire and report as to the right of certain parties
to control the religious education of the boy Witty.
The feet* were shortly these :—The father of the boy
Witty was a member of the Roman Catholic Church,
and died when his son was but an infant, appointing by
his will a person named Anderson, also a Roman Ca-
:Iloilo, as guardian of his child, and enjoining Anderson
to take care that the boy should be educatedsin the Ro-
man Catholic faith. Witty, senior, died' possessed of
but very little property, which was not sufficient for the
purpose of the boy's education, who remained until
three years of age under the care of his mother, who
was a Protestant. From that period till he arrived at
the. age of seven years and a half old he was under
the care of his paternal aunt, Mrs. Conyers, a Roman
Catholic, and who during that time Instilled into his
mind the principles of that Nith ; then on her death he
was.trallskro 44 the care of his maternal grandfather,
Mr, Dillon, a Protestant, with whom he remained till
his fourteenth year, and during the intervening time it
was stated he had imbibed the principles of the Protes-
tant religion. As the boy was in delicate health, and
his grandfather Ditton seemed . much attached to him,
and his (the hay's) temporal interest would be most pro-
bably benefited by his residing with his grandfather,
Andesson, the testamentary guardian, acting tinder the
impression that at that early are the child's religious
principles could hot he materially biassed one side or
the other, did 11Qt interfere to withdraw him &am the
affectionate care of Mr. Dittos, The latter had by his
will, and when the boy was residing with and being
educated by Mrs. Conyera, left him a sum of 1,000/., and
by a codicil to that will in 1841 bequeathed another sum
of the same amount, without making any remarks in that
codicil as to how the lad should be brought up. In
1841, on the death of Mr, Ditton, the lad fell under the
charge of Mrs. Marshall, his maternal aunt, a Protes-
tant, and four months subsequently Anderson, having
heard that Miss Ditton, now Mrs. Marshall, was about
to get married, and that Witty, in consequence, was
about to be sent to a boarding school, entered upon a
correspondence with her relative to what should be
done with the boy. The result was his being re-
ferred by her to her solicitors, and hence the present
application.
Mr. SPENCE (with whom were Mr. Russell and Mr.
Dearsley) appeared for Anderson, the testamentary
guardian, and said that all his client was anxious for was,
that with the least possible expense, and in the manner
most beneficial to the boy, the Court would decide as to
the course of education which he should receive. He
was desirous that his Honour should see the boy him-
self, and hear what he had to say as to his religious belief.
His HONOUR said that his so doing would be stepping
very much out of the ordinary course, and unless all the
parties concurred in that desire he could not think of
complying with it, and even'then he was not decided as
to whether he would see the boy. The matters brought
out at such an interview would be much better discussed
in private at the Master's office than in public.
Mr. SwestsTost, who, with Mr. Koe and Mr. Smythe,
appeared for Mrs. Marshall, stated that that lady was
very anxious that his Honour should see the lad.
On the close of the arguments on either side, his
HoNoust, in deliverigg judgment said, that with regard
to the alleged guardianship of Anderson, as it appeared
that the boy's education had devolved, during a
long course of years, upon other persons without
any interference on the • part of that person,
as guardian—though he, if legally the guardian, was not
by that circumstance deprived of his right as such—
there was a prima facie case for a reference to the Mas-
ter, especially when at the present moment the boy was
not under the alleged guardian's care. With respect
to the other points involved in the case, he had no
doubt that all the parties were actuated in the
course they had taken by the best motives, according
to their judgment, relative to the boy's interest. Witty,
the father, was a Roman Catholic, and appeared by his
will to have left strict injunctions that his son should be
brought up in his own religion. It was, therefore, the
duty of all those who, with the knowledge of that fact,:were
concerned in the care and education of the infant, to have
caused him to hare been brought up in his father's
religion, and there had been tq that extent, in his
Honour's lodgment, a breach of duty both to the father
and the infant. lie could readily understand the motives
which actuated Anderson and the members of the
father's family in not interfering with the maternal re-
latives—particularly the grandfather—with respect to the
care and education of the infant—such a course might
probably have interfered with the boy's temporal prospects.
At the same time he must say that Anderson might have
with delicacy communicated with Ditton, the grand-
father, on the subject of the child's religion and expressed
a wish that he should be brought up in his father's faith.
That was a duty which was equally incumbent on the
relatives of the mother; and in his Honour's opinion
those relatives, from motives, however good, had not kept
faith with the dead. They might and ought to have
brought him up in the faith of his father,
though they themselves were Protestants. That,
however, had not been done, and the boy had
been allowed to grow up to a most important period of
life educated as a Protestant, and living under Protes-
tant impressions. Whatever weight ought_ to have
been ascribed at an earlier period to the father's
wishes, it was impossible so far now to 'over-
look the interest of the infant, as 'not to see
that great danger to his future spiritual Welfare and
moral character might—he would not say would—might,
arise from a change in the course of his religious educa-
tion. On that ground and, on diet alone, it was the
duty of the Court to pause. Circumstances might
have arisen since the father's death, which might
render a different course of proceeding from that
which would have taken place, essential to the in-
fants' interest. Those matters would be best discussed
in 'the Master's office. However, looking at the
nature of the discussion—notwithstanding the respect-
ability of the parties, the great probability was
that the- matter would ultimately be again brought
before the Court, whatever the Master's report might be;
and considering the small fortune of the boy and the
expenses attendant on a prolonged inquiry before
the Master, his Honour, since it was the request
of all parties, had no objection to see and
converse with the boy, not, however, so as to
dispense with the reference to the Master, but for the
purpose -of guiding- the Court in the species of
reference, and in the particular language of the
order to be made, and stating for the Master's
information, but not necessarily for his guidance,
the impression made on the mind of the Court, if any
should be made, by the personal communication with
the infant. In that view his Honour was willing to see
the boy before the particular form of order was agreed on.
- Thursday next, with his Honour's permission, was ac-
cordingly fixed for the purpose, and his Monour stated
that he would see the lad on that day in his room.
The Court rose at four o'clock.

Wm. Owen, butcher, near the Half-moon public-house,
Holloway, appeared to answer the following charge :
Mr. Turner said, that fastened to one of the defen-
dant's scales was a piece of fat weighing nearly an ounce.
Mr. WILSON (to defendant)—What have you to say?
Defendant—Purchasers want consideraby more than
that draught. lam poor, and what am Itodo ?
Mr. WILSON—Wby, be honest. Honesty is the best
policy.

CHAPMAN—You pretend to give good weight, and
still are plundering. You must pay 10s.
John Hanbury, a grocer in Pulteny-street, Islington,
was summoned on the following charge :
Mr. Childe said this was a case that differed very
much from the generality of complaints which he was in
the habit of introducing to the Bench. There were a
number of weights and scales in defendant's shot', and
the only fault he had to find was that one scale was
against a purchaser to the extent of seven drachms, oc-
casioned by some butter adhering to the top of the
weighing scale ; when the butter had been wiped off the
scale was of a just balance. The scales being to that
incorrect, he thought it incumbent on him to take out a
summons against Mr. Hanbury.
Defendant--Do you suppose the butter was there for
the purpose of fraud ? Mr. Childe—Certainly not ; it
was only neglect.
. Mr. WlLsoN—But neglect will lead to fraud. If we
supposed for a moment that there was an intended evil
in the neglect, we should fine you heavily ; as it is, you
must pay 30s.
George Clothier, a coal-dealer, in Collier-street, Pen-
touville, was next heard on his summons.
Mr. Turner said that defendant's coal-machine was a
pound and a quarter against a purchaser.
Mr. Childe—This is a second offence. When he was
last hove, he was fined 4/.

Defendant—Yes, andi have been starving ever since.
Mr. CHAPMAN—Your poverty ought to make you feel
for your poor neighbour.
Mr. Childe—Allow me to plead for him, your Wor-
ships. He is very badly off; and his children are suffer-
ing from scarlet fever.

Mr. Wthsox—Then we will be merciful, hoping that
he will amend his ways. Return him his weighing-
machine, and let him pay ss.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

Samuel Williams, a man of very respectable appear-
ance, was brought up on the following charge of robbery:
The Rev. Dr. Giles stated, that he resided at Wind-
leshain Hall, . near Bagshot. In May last, it being his
intention to go abroad for six months, he determined on
letting his house, furniture, Fee., for that period ; and
the prisoner having given several respectable references, it
was agreed that he should have witness's house, and the use
of the furniture, &c., for the above period. At the time of
prisoner's taking posse'ssion, witness showed him a ca-
binet in one of the rooms, in which was upwards of 2001.
worth of plate, and securities for money of the value of
about 1,2001. more. Witness locked the cabinet, and then
left the whole of his property in charge of the prisoner.•
Witness returned to England in the early part of Sep-
tember last, and soon afterwards went to Windlesham
Hall, where he saw the prisoner, and told him that ho
should shortly require to take possession of his house,
and in the course of their conversation asked if the plate
was all safe, whereupon the prisoner said, that some
months before he discovered that an attempt had been
made to force the lock of the cabinet, and that he fearing
that the plate might be stolen, had himself broken open
the cabinet and taken out the plate, and removed it to
the house of a friend for safe custody. Witness inquired
who his friend was, but the prisoner declined answering
the question, assuring him, however, that the plate should
be all restored to him in the course of a few days. Wit-
ness wrote frequently to the prisoner, and received letters
in reply, stating his property was safe. He had never been
able to get an interview with the prisoner or to recover
his property, and his patience being completely exhausted
he gave information of the whole affair to the police, and
on Friday night Sergeant Weston traced the prisoner to
a house in the Strand, where he took him into custody.
Prisoner afterwards confessed to the proseCutor that he
had pledged the plate at the shop of a Mr. Kirkham, a
pawnbroker, 318, in the Strand, who had advanced him
upwards of 100/. upon it. Upon being asked what he
had done with the duplicates, he replied that Mr. Kirk-
ham had them, and had advanced him a further sum of
61. upon them. On hearing the above evidence, Mr. Jar-
dine dispatched a constable to request the attendance of
Mr. Kirkham, who returned an answer that he. was par-
ticularly engaged and could not come. Mr. Jardine
then sent a summons to compel his attendance, when he
refused to come, saying that his solicitor had informed
him that he was not bound to attend on so short a notice.
The officer then told him that he was wanted to b (rive evi-
dence respecting some stolen plate, that had been
pledged with him by Williams, and described the differ-
ent articles, when he declared that he had no such pro-
perty in his shop, and that he did not know such a person
as Williams. Mr. Jardine now issued a search warrant,and
on the officer going to Mr. Kirkham's shop to execute it he
could not find any of the prosecutor's property. The officer
was again sent to Mr. Kirkham desiring his attendance,
and informing him that, if he did not come, a warrant
would be issued. On this Mr. Kirkham thought proper to
make his appearance. He stated that he thought he had
p
seen the prisoner before, hut could not tell. He might
taken plate in pledge from him, but did not know.
i‘verr. a
. jINE said that sort of fencing with questions
hatkt
would not do, and he advised witness to be cautious, or
he would most assuredly be indicted for perjury. The
witness, notwithstanding this caution, answered the
questions put to him in such an evasive manner, that at
length Mr. Jardine ordered him into custody, and he was
placed at the bar with the other prisoner. In the mean
time the shopman of Mr. Kirkham was sent for, and he
attended, and gave his name James 11. Stewart.. He
stated (after having
_been cautioned that all the facts of
the case were already known, and that, if he did not
speak the truth, he would be indicted for perjury) that
he had seen the prisoner in his master's shop. The first
time he came there was about three months ago, wl en
witness showed him into his master's private room, and
afterwards made out duplicates for 401., which was lent
to prisoner on some plate that he brought with
him, and which he pledged in the name- of Wynd-
ham. Could not say how often lie had seen him in his
master's shop, or when he saw him there last. Had
known him to pledge plate there several times. The
greatest sum advanced at any one time was 40/. Wit-
ness always asked prisoner if the plate was his own pro-
perty, and he invariably replied in the affirmative.
Prisoner had since obtained an advance of 5/. or 6/. on
those duplicates. ])id not know where the duplicates
were now. Had looked for them, but could not find
them. Often advanced as much as 401 on plate to gen-
tlemen of respectable appearance, though they 'were
strangers to him. When such persons came to his mas-
ter's shop lie always showed them into a private room.
Mr. JARDINE —YOU must go with an officer, and en-
deavour to find the duplicates. Witness (impudently)—
I dare say they are in the warehouse, but I am not the
warehouse boy.
Mr. .1-AnDlNE—Whatever you may be, you had better
go with the officer, and bring back the duplicates.—The
witness went away with an officer ; and in a short time
returned, and said he had again searched for the dupli-
cates, but could not find them.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF ELGIN.—..The
death of this Noble Earl, a notice of which appears in
our obituary, causes a vacancy in the representation of
Southampton, his eldest son (late Lord Bruce, now
Earl of Elgin), being one of its Tory representatives.
The late Earl was a family trnstoo of the British Museum;
and formerly px ted our Court at Constantin-
opip and during' his residence there, made the collec-
tion of Grecian antiquities called, after him, the Elgin
marbles. He was also a Scotch representative reel-, and
a General in the army,
