bridge. The interesting appearance of the little fellow, and tks .
manner in which be narrated his adventures, excited the cotn•
miseration of the Magistrates, and I lancock, the constable, who
had the child in his custody, was dispatched on Monday LA to
Mr. Perry's school, at Romford, to make the allair known to
him. On the officer arriving at Romford, lie found to his asto-
nishment there was no such person or school in the town, bet
he learned that a Mr. Perry kept an academy at a placti„ealied
Shenfield, about eight miles further. Thither Hancock went,
and found Mr. Perry's boarding-school, and on stating the nature,
of his visit, be learned there had been none of his scholars taken
away, but there had been a youth named Brown, corresponding
in description with the boy now in question, in his school about
nine months since. Mr. Perry then advised him to inquire at
the Rev. Mr. Baroskill'a school at Alountnesing, two rashes and
a half farther. Thither he proceeded, and arrived there at dusk.
Mr. Baroskill told him he knew nothing of the boy, but he had
a scholar of that name who was then in bed. Hancock procured
a certificate from each of those ( ieutlemen as to their answers,
and he returned to Itornford late at night, and his horses being
knocked up, he slept there, and started for Lorne next morning,
where he arrived at eight o'clock. Ou his fining home he quo
tioned the buy, and threatened to have him confined in the House
of Correction, where he would tan be permitted to see anyone,
and have only bread and water to live on, anti be well whippet if
he did not confess the t ruth, and to be aware or deceiving aim again.
Ile then began to cry, and said he had run away from Mr.
Brown's school at I ltord. Hancock warned him of again des
ceiving hint, and the boy assured Lim most earnestly he was
telling truth. Hancock accordingly set off on Tuesday mornite
to Ilford, but returned without finding such a school there, bat
was advised to go to Woodford and make inquiry, but herein
met with no better success. On his return home, to Lis or-
' prise he found that the young villain had opened the back
door and made his escape. Ile went in every direction in
quest of hint, but to no purpose, and about one e'dork yes-
terday morning he was taken to hint by a watchmen, n,?)
found hint stn•llina about Gray's Inn-lane. On hates ties
the Magistrates read the little trtaae a severe lecture or, ste
baseness of his conduct, and threatened to have hint locked
up in the black hole, and have him well flogged with a tan
o'-nine-tails, if he did not instantly tell the truth, and occluded
by telling the officer to take hint away asal loci hint up.—
