.WORSLI IP-STREW!:

Clarks Hopping, who is employed at a fiat-mill, on Hounslow
Heath, was charged with ill-treating two boys, named titmice,'
and Jones, who had been sent there from Snoteditch Workhouse. it
consideration of their board and lodging. The buys stausl, that the..
bad nothing to complain of as to the quantity or food, but they we:,
only allowed a slice of bread and some stir.about for breakfast ;
meat was frequently tainted; the fat skimmed off the pot was
they had at supper to go with their bread ; and sometimes ill.), hail
' only peas boiled in the skimmed liquor for dinner. • Th. it coairiaar
' against the prisoner was, that he used to kick and brat then, st-
verely.—The defendant admitted beating them with a leather strap,
though he denied the kicking, and was, therefore, held to bail, the
Magistrate holding that his employer could not delegate to him any
power to chastise. As it appeared the children were forced to wort
all night every ether week at this factory, and there was no separa-
tion if any of them became ill, the Magistrates prohibited the huisls
Officers from sending any more of their poor there.

The revenue of the hal hour of Aberdeen, for the year
just ended, amounted to 10,6001., and the cleat stir pls.
after payment of lute; est and charges, was ..bout 2,0001.
The shore dues alone yielded 9,1551. beilig an excess of
upwards of 1,2001. beyond the produce of the preceding
year. The savings upon the guildry, and other funds,
also under the charge of the Magistrates, was about
I,SBOI. A still farther saving will arise upon the har-
bour funds, by the reduction of the interest upon bor-
:owed money from 5 to 4 per cent. which will take ef-
fect at Martinmas next.

Persons have observed fellows selling birds, which
they place nn their hands, when they appear quite tame
and tractable. This is.done by confining their pinions
with threads tied round their body, and such ci uelt;
cannot be too much deprecated. The bird, if purchased
by an individual unacquainted with the circumstance,
and the ligatures are kept on, will die in extreme agony
in the course of a few hours.
