reports about Mrs. Shaw for three or four years before she went of
with the defendant; and also Mrs. Shaw's leaving her husband's
house with the defendant, at ten o'clock at night on the 31st of Au.
gust, and their remaining together at a house of ill-fame till three
o'clock the next morning, when they left Dudley in a postchaise
and went to Worcester, in the neighbourhood of which, and in di&
ferent parts of Wales, they continued to live together down to the

some of the beer of Maas. Whitbread, the defendant's brewers,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MATW)Ig'-'IWISE.

Saturday, one of the Italian boys who go about town with ino:
keys begging, was brought up as a vagrant. The boy, who spoke
pretty good English, said he was brought *an Parma fourteen
months ago. His master bad four other boys, and they all went
out with monkeys, and got about a shilling a day each, which they
gave to their master. He gave them a penny loaf for breakfast, and
potatoes and rice at night, which was their only food, and went
round several times in the day to take from them the money they
had received. An Italian gentleman who was present said bringing
those kidnapped boys to this country was practised to such an extent
that he had been instrumental in sending over to their own country
about seventy of them in a short period.
The LORD MAYOR said it was a practice that must be checked,
and the gentleman having undertaken to send the boy to Italy, he
was delivered over to his care.
