remarked as somewhat singular. that not we pickpocket was brought
`before the magistrature, although the number of thieves of that &scrip.

Information was received here yesterday, of the supposed murder
of Mr. Simon Stuckey, of Chard, in the county of Somerset, a cm ram
and builder.
The information states that, on the 9th of August, Mr. Stuckey left
bane, on a journey of about ten miler, intending to return at night.
About twelve o'clock on the same night, his hone was found on the
road without a rider,, wbo has never since been heard of. His hat and
stick were foetid wpm the road next morning, about four miles from
Stamm, Saar South Petheeton, in the same county. He had left the
latter place at about half-past nine o'clock on the preceding evening,
and from a quantity of blood discovered near the same spot, there is
but too much maim to suspect that the unfortunate man has been
barbarously murdered, and his body secreted to prevent deteedoo.
Wonintr.einzer. —CURIOUS QUESTION RILATIVE TO
4ISSIATH lIIIZARIXO.—On Friday evening three persons of the Jew.
ash persuasion, named Abraham Davis, .dbrahant Barris, and Joseph
Arahatie, were fined 30% each, under the Excise Laws, and in default
of paynient committed to the -House of Correction to hard Wooer for
three. months. Saturday the father of one of the prisoners applied to
she Migrate**, to know whether the prisoners were compelled to per.
forte the hard labour upon a Saturday, that being the Jewish Sabbath ?

Mr. BROUGUTOW said the application was rather an extraordinary
one, and hi was not prepared to answer it. He never recollected the
question being raised before.
Mr. Trevino said, if the Jews were allowed to rest from the la-
bours of the treadmill on Saturday, they would only get five days work
in the week ; and in order to remedy that, they ought to be compelled
to take more steps on their working dart than the Christians.
Mr. BROUGHTON observed that he mid no doubt every thing would
be done consistent with the prison regulations, and directed the gaoler to
inquire what is usually done under such circumstances.
LaseasTu.STittrr.—Yesterday, George Robin, and Mass
James, two regular resurrectionists, were chatted with attempting to
steal the body of a female named Brown, which had been interred
on the day before, from the burial ground attached to the chapel
of the Reverend Mr. Read, in Cannon.street.road, St. Georges in

the East.
Police constable No. 59, E. division, stated thet,.betwieen 11 and 12
o'clock on the night before, he head a singular sort of none In the
burial round ; on his and two other officers entering the graveyairtf,
they observed the pdsonentrun and get over a small fence into a thither.
fled adjoining, where they secured them. On subsequently ft:
mining the place, they found that the grave of a female was pint
opened, and near to it was a sack, shovel, a screw, and other iniplandfte
used by resurrection men.
The Magistrates, after some consultation, committed the prbrodere
,for three months each, for being found in an enclosed place at an un-
seasonable hour of the night, without being able to give a satieftattiry
account of themselves.

Thames- Poucz.—Yesterday, Joseph Davies, a coal-whipper, was
charged with assaulting, on Friday week, a fellow labourer mania
Thomas Slack. The parties fought, and Slack fell and broke two of his
ribs in the course of the fight. The prisoner was remanded, as Slack Is
not expected to live.
Yesterday a young man, named Westwood, the son of a cow-keeper
in Star-street, Shadwell, was brought up on an order of affiliation.
Martha Taylor who had rived In the service of the defendant's father,
slid that the defe4ant one night entered her room, and she was induced
to yield to his wishes.
The defendant,fn his defence, wished to make it appear that some
man in his father's service had as much right to be styled father of the
infant as he had, because she had allowed the same freedem to them that
she had to him. Finding he could not succeed on that point, he ob.
served, " Gentlemen it I. said lam the father of the child. flow I
will convince you that the assertion is not founded on fact. The child
is sahl to be five weeks old, and I can assure you that the last time I
had intercourse with the young woman was the I nth June, 1829, con.
sequently I cannot be the father !" He added that he recollected the
time perfectly well, because on that night he brought home some cows
from the Isle of Dogs, and he wrote down that circumstance on paper,
and also of his connection with the girl.
The Magistrates said that he would have reason to remember bringing
the cows from the Isle of Dogs, and ordered him to pay 4s. per week,
and 31. 17s. expenses.
111 `au considerable portion of the time of the
Magistrates, for several months past, has been occupied by hearing
complaints by common informers against individuals for infringements
of Ante of Parliament.
On Tuesday a poor fellow named Collins was convicted in the penalty
of forty shillings, on the evidence of a man named George Buss, for
rolling an invalid chair along.the footway pavement in Regent street ;
and another informer named Stringer, daily employs himself in bringing
up carters and waggoners, the mejority of whom are, upon his evidence,
convicted in the penalty of forty shillings for riding on the shafti of
their vehicles, contrary to the statute.

" THE GOOD OLD Ti u Ea." The celebrated patriot,
Andrew Fletcher of Salient:. drawer the following picture of Scotland
in the year lOW—heft which it would appear that it was not without
reason that King James composed' ballad-on " the Otheriunzie Dian,'
for the beggars were armload a very' formidable race. " 'That are at
this day in Scotland; ' , " (besides,' great many poet fami-
lies very meanly for by the Church boxes, with others, who by
living upon bad food fall into various disease') 200,000 people
from door m door. And though the number of than be Prg
double to what it Ives formerly,
hy reason of this great distress, yet tin
all times there have been about or. hundred thousand of thaw
bonds, who have Heed Without lay regard or subjection either to the
laws of the land, or even NM of GOD and nature." These fno.and.
easy denizens of the eon appear to have oceasionelly held a sort of wild
ISaturnslia :—" In the years of plenty," continues out author, "many
thousands of them meet together in the mountains, where they feast
and riot for many days ; and at country wedding', markets, and buriils,
and at other the like public occasion., they are to be seen both men and
women pe y drunk, cursing, blaspheming, and fighting together."'
As a to this great mischief, Fletcher proposes that " every man
of a certain estate in the flatiron should be obliged to take a proportion.
able number of those vagibonds, and either employ them in hedging and
ditching his grounds, or any other sort of work in town or country."
4tnd for sitansple and terror of there formidable" vagabonds," he gravely
adds—" Three or fob, hundred of the most notorious of those vii.
laths which we call Jotkeys, might be presented by the govevontent to
the State of Vent*, to serve in the gilleye.against the common enemy of
Vitristentiotn." • This was certainly a radical reform. On perusing the
'bore entracte, it is impossible not to be struck with with the contrast
which that country now presents—her population virtuous and bides.
trious, excelling in all tie arts, and her remotest wilds isenetttted by
that civilisation and cormwerce which have ever been the patent" of
freedom, peace; and plenty.
