ten years of age, who accompanied hair? the office.
The mother stated, thst on Tuesday evening last, the defend-
ant, for some imputed offence Of a trifling nature, struck the child,
who was then in his employmer• as errand-boy, a violent blow en
the side of the head, the effects of which were still visible. She
also stated, that Mr. Young, another partner, on a recent °era-
sion, had horse-whipped her son most severely, and that he and
Mr. Black were in the habit of using similar violence towards other

boys who were in their employment.

Sir Ricuaitn BlRNlE.—Certainly, Sir, I wish you to do ea,
Mr. Black.--In the first place, I know nothing of the horse-
whipping which the complainant mentioned. It might have bap-

Complainant.—Oh, Mr. Young himself acknowledged haying
horsewhipped the cbild when I taxed him with it.
Mr. Black.—With respect to the present charge, I certainly
admit that I struck the boy on the Meek, in doing which,

was, because he was repeating the words of an indecent song,
which he was in the act of writing out.
Sir Ricuaan Btaxie.—This is no justification of your con-
duct. You have no right to lay violent hands on boys is Your
employment. England is a land of liberty, Sir, who.: th'e mein"
eat shall find protection, And where the infliction of the whip
is not to be tolerated. You must either find hail for the p
