-devil-of a potatne would his poor old mother v* for
;the winter, for she depended upon him to dig her
crap, and would be starved if he didn't go!" 'Pt!
poor fellow begged, therefore, that their NVot•shie.
would " do some civil this/ to him," and let hint he
off. The Magistrates could not but be amused wise i
the whimsical style of the. petitioner, and, after a abort .
deliberation, they changed his sentence to a public
whipping; whereupon Pat, h'a a era teful extacy, thank.
ed them kindly ; , and he underwent. the floggiii s ,
through the market last Tuesday with high goof.
will. When he had stolen the breeches, he put tlserre .
on, and his old ones over, to hide them ; but forget ...

as the breeches were of different colours, every body '
was Laughing at his grotesque appearance. . .

At a General Quarter Sessions, held at Wakefield,
en Thursday the 4th hutant, Mr. Mntrom mentioned
to the Court the following . if:ovule, of gross miscon-
duct on-the part of a,.distant Orerseerts-An orphan
child, a boy about eig!:t years of ant whose father
died at Halifax, was removed by an order of Sessions
to Oakham, in Rutlattishire. 'The Overseer at Oak-
ham, thoogh he did not receive the try very graci-
ously, having given the boy a severe beating in the
presence of the person who had conveyed him there,
yet made no objections to tirdorder of removal, an I
paid the •expenees incurred. But to render, this order .
nugatory, this Guardian of the Pooi, as soon as the
Overseer of Halifax had returned, give the boy some
bread and cheese and a shilling, and
.orde+d him to
make the best of his way to Halifax, a distance of
. more eian 150 miles. It may easily he concbived
!lbw much the boy suffered from having so long a
. journey to perform, with so few resources; the las:
SU miles, were, however, rendered more comfortahls
to him by having the good fortune to fall into the
i
company of three soldiers, ptiva,es, Who.tven, guilt
to the same place, who with an humanity worthy o •
British valour, helped this wanderer °obis siay, and
shared with him their mess aid lodgings, and safely
brought him tohis journey's end. Tire cavort was
not unmoved at this simple relation *of the boy's
(which was confirmed in serval particulars by the
Overseer who had conveyed him to Oakham, and
have treated him with the

why
tenderness
made
ter
the
action,

who appeals to have treated him with the tam At
tenderness), and directed that nffidavits shouli be'
made of the facts, and transmitted along with a let-
. ter from'the Clerk of the Peace to the Ogiairnsan of
the Sessions of that district, explaining chit {cans-
action, and requesting that a minute inreitiqation
L
might ustaade into the coilduct of the OtiMpialetri
