UPON A CHILD THAT DIED.

Here she lies, a pretty bud,
Lately made of flesh and blood ;
Who, as won fell fast asleep,
As her little eyes did peep.
Give her strewings, but not stir
The earth that lightly covers her!

At Worship-street Office yesterday, an old man, who
bad the appearance of having once moved in a respectable sphere,
but who now is evidently labouring under insanity, was brought up
by the parish officers of Islington, charged with sleeping in the open
air on Sunday night. On being put to the bar, he appeared very
indignant at the officers who bad brought him there. On the
Magistrates desiring him to give an account of himself, he said his
name was Lord Butler ; that a Gentleman residing at Ongar, in
Essex, had committed a forgery on him to the amount of 3,000,0001.
which had been obtained front the Bank of England. He
bad suffered very getiously from being imprisoned eighteen times,
through a set of fellow, who had conspired agaiase him. He
had been starved almost to death, and deleterious articles had
been introduced into his food in order to destroy him. The unfor-
tunzte man kept on in a strain of similar improbabilhies, till the
Magistrate, after a kind admonition, permitted him to go about his
business. The pootleilow, on leaving the office, bowed respectfully
Ito the Magistrates.
