JUVENILE TUMBLERS.—Ricbard Nicholas and
George Neville were brought before Mr. Paget,
charged with vagrancy.

Mr. Paget—l understand there are two prisoners
in the dock. I cannot see them. (A laugh.)
Two officers entered the dock, and raised two
little boys above the edge.

Mr. Paget—Bring them to the table.
The prisoners, whose appearance excited great
commiseration, were then placed on the table. One
said he was going on for 10, the other that he was
going on for 9 years. They were bare-legged and
barefooted, covered with mud and dirt, and a few
rags were fastened to their little bodies.
Dillon, a police-sergeant, No. 19 R, said the pri-
soners and another boy were tumbling and throw-
ing somersaults alongside an omnibus in the Corn-
m ~rcial-road. They ran until they were exhausted,
and then laid down in the road.

Mr. Paget—l hope the omnibus passengers did
not give them any money.

Dillon—No, sir, not a farthing. Another boy,
the brother of Neville, was also tumbling, and he
got away.

The mother of Neville said her boys would go
out tumbling in the road, and she could not stop
them. They obtained a few halfpence from omnibus
passengers. _ _

Mr. Paget—You ought to be ashamed of your-
self to allow your children to be tumbling about
the streets.

The Mother—l do my best for them.
Mr. Paget—What is the age of your son befor
me?

The Mother—Five, sir—five years old.
Mr. Paget—Nonsense, woman—five years old
He is more than that.

The Mother—Five years only, sir, he was lase
month.

Mr. Paget.—And are you not ashamed of yourself
to allow a child five years to be tumbling in the
streets, and to be in that most deplorable condition
scarcely human. lam sorry that omnibus pas-
sengers are so foolish as to encourage these young
vagrants by throwing them money. It is a most
mischievous thing. Passengers do not know the
harm they do by encouraging such young vagrants.
The boys were then remanded to the Stepney
Union House, Bromley, for a week.

FATAL RESULT OF AMATEUR TUMBLING.—An
inquest was held on Saturday at the German Hospital,
Dalston, relative to the death of a boy named John Brown,
aged 12 years. The deceased was a school-boy, living at
9, Brunswick-place, Tottenham. Last Wednesday he was
performing a somersault in the presence of some of his
companions, when he fell on his head and broke his neck.
The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
