INFANT CLIMBING BOY.

HATTON•GARDEL—Lake, a chimney-sweeper, ro-
siding in John-street, Tottenham-court-Road, WaS: yes-
terday summoned to appear before the Magistrates,
to answer a complaint against him for letting out his
climbing apprentice boy on hire. It was stated that
William Bluman, the boy, had bean seen in a very
crippled and exhausted state in t'e street, on Wed-
neiday morning, in company with one of Lake's
journeymen, or a pen-on to whom he had lent the
child, to obtain soot at two shillings a sac:. which
could afterwards be sold by Lake for six shillings._
The master at first disclaimed the boy, contending
that he had taken him out of charity, but that he had
never been apprenticed, and thereupon neglected the
Magistrate's summons for his appearance with the
boy in the morning. In the evening, however, he
hr ought him, and also the indenture, bearing date in
December, 1814, stating therein that the child• was
eight years of age, but it was evident, from the ap-
pearance of the boy, he could not be ten years of age.
The Magistrate inspected the knees and ancles of the
boy, and found them to be in a most shocking state
of inflammation. Mr. SKINNER, surgeon, of Hatton-
garden, was examined, upon oath, as to the state of
' the wounds, and said he considered them as very'
highly inflan:ed, but with pre.per washing, poulticing
and rest, thought the limbs might be restored ; he
also said he !id not think the boy could be ten years
old. The poor boy, who could hardly support him-
self during the e.o.mination, was evidel•tly intimidated
by his master into a statement of unqualified good
usage, though he admitted that the preceding-day
he had beer. employed from four o'clock in the morn-
ing in sweeping 2r flues, with little, if any, clothing
to cover him, and no brass pi :11.2 on his cap, to avoid
detection. The master was ,:lamorous in his own de-
fence, to which the worthy Magistrate, Mr. SELLON,
paid little attention, stating his full impression to be,
that the child was now scarcely ten years old, though
he had been worked four years; and also, that there
was strong ground to suspect, that at the time of the
execution of the indenture, a larger boy had been
substituted and produced to the Magtstrate, who
. would otherwise have rejected so small a child, as
evidently within the age of eight prescribed by the
Act. Mr. TooxE, who attended on behalf of the So-
ciety, requested leave to inquire further into the fact
of the age of the child, with a view to cancel the in-
denture, should he have been tinder eight at the date
of it ; he also prevailed on the Magistrate to retain
the indenture in the office, and to have the child pro-
tected during the investigation ; upon which Mr. Sel-
lon delivered the boy to the care of Mr. Tooke, who
undertook to lodge him in the Workhouse of the pa-
rish of St. Andrew, Holborn, whither Mr. Tooke had
him carried, and saw him safe in the care of the Ma-
tron, who would wash and poultice the wounds, and I
Mr. Skinner promised to visit him, and report there-1,
ion to the Magistrate.

A fine Osprey was shot by Mr. PFAIIAM last week
at Brocklesby. It had previously been seen to dive
into a fish-pond and bring up a large carp, with which
it rose leisurely into the air, but again approaching the
pond, was killed. It measured five feet from the tip
of the wings when extended.
