STOLEN Cuters.—lt will he reeollec•ed that, a
few days since, a statement appeared respecting
this strange transaction, in which it was sa;e that
Mrs. MORTIMER, the mother of the lost infant,
had received intelligence o! her child, and had ap.
plied to Lord SIDMOUTH and others for the !ir.
pose of recovering it. This, however, was 'rot
correct. The parents certainly received a letter,
dared " Horebridge, Surrey," giving information
'hat a Child answering tke description was at that
place, nailer the charge of an old woman and
,errant, having the appearance of t 1 C'oman that
stole the infant, but without name or any cling
else that could lead to a finding of the parties.--
On an Officer going down to Horehruige, he
found, on enquiry. the whole of the leitet no he a
gross fabrication, and was, doubt iess, mashie.
tion 44 some miscreant concerned in the neiartuus
transaction.
