QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday two little boys, about nine or ten years of age,
named John and William Quinlan, were brought before
Mr. MARRIOTT by William Parker, a police constable of
tl.e A Division, No. 23, charged with selling unstamped
publications in the streets.

- The constable saw the boys in the Strand walking about
with a large placard, and selling a newspaper and ahnanack
fora penny.

The constable here handed to the Magistrates a bundle
of papers which he had taken from the bays. The Paper
was entitled " The Cosmopolite, a London weekly news-
paper, price one penny," and purported to be printed and
published by Joseph Walker, 9, Ship-yard, Temple-bar.
Mr. MattnrarT told them that they were liable to be
sent to the House of Correction for three months.
The father of the boys here stepped forward, and said
that he had five children, and that for the last four months
he had been out of employ, and was in such a state of dis-
tress, that he was compelled to send the boys out to endea-
vour to earn a few pence for their livelihood. H• had
expended the last shilling he had in buying the Papers
which had been produced, and he was entirely ignorant
that he had acted wrong by allowing his children to sell
them in the streets. If there had been any offence com-
tnitted, he alone was to blame, and he therefore begged
that the boys might be discharged, and that he might be
sent to prison in their stead.
The father was about to produce certificates as to his
character, when he was told there was no charge against
him.

Father—But there is a charge against me, my
children are innocent ; it was I that told them to go and
sell the Papers in the street. I did not think it was
wrong ; no person is to blame but me, and I ought to be
sent to prison, and not they ; besides, they will be placed
amongst thieves and felons, and will learn every thing that
is bad.

Mr. AIARRIOTT said, that be had no power over the fa-
ther to punish him, and committed the children for four-
teen days to the House of Correction. The Papers were
ordered to be destroyed.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday a youth, named Owen Davis, was brought
before Mr. I%lumtAY, charged with exposing fur sa!e the
Poor Man's Guardian and Cosmopolite, unstau►ped
publications.

The policeman who took the defendant into custody said
that he bad been convicted before of a similar offence, and
committed for three months to prison ; and that he was
then told if he sold any more of the Poor Man's
Guardian, he would suffer the Caine punishment.
Mr. MURRAY, on hastily glancing over the publication
in question, said, that it was calculated to inflame the
minds of the lower orders, by lessening in their estimation
many of the great institutions of the country. The Ma-
gistrate then said that the defendant should be committed
fur three months.

The defendant on hearing it, with a sneer exclaimed "I
don't care for that; send me as often as you like, and as
long as you please."
The policeman accounted for the boy's carelessness
about the punishment by saying that a subscription had
been raised by the readers of the Poor Man's Guardian
for the purpose of allowing a sum of money to each person
who suffered imprisonment for selling it. The defendant,
who had already suffered, and was considered in the light
of a victim, knew that he would be paid for every day
that he remained in gaol.

The defendant left the office laughing, in custody.
