THE ST ATFSMAN

•d sb WOOS ENT. •
On Monday evening, as some of the cockney
sportsmen were amusing themselves by firing at spar-
rows,
from a trap in the target-ground helnoging to
the Royal Artillery Company, near R4gnigge.wells,
a fine boy, named Walter Mapperley, belonging to
the. Clerlien well Charity School, who wag at play
with some other boys in an adjoining field, was un-
fortunately shot in the head ; tie fell to the ground,
and the alarm being given, Mr. Chappell, a gentle- •
man residing near the place, and who happened to
be in
,his glirdett, hastened to the spot, and had the
unfortunate boy immediately carried, bleeding pro-
fusely, to Mr tholomew's.llospital, where his wounds
were ezamined; he received two shot in the throat,
one over the right eye, and nine in the face. Ile
lies in a dangerous :vete, and suffers great pain
Ml. Chappell, with great presence of mind, on see.
ing the accident, hastened to the ground whence the
shot was fired,•to ascertain who it was fired it, *lien
one of two Gentlemen who were together, hand-
ed him their address on a piece of wiper, viz. Mr.
Sparks, 381, Osfurd-street, and Mr. Stevens, gun-
maker, 43, Holborn. This is the third accident of
a simi ar kind that has happened in the same place
within the last three weeks. On Wednesslay even-
ing a boy had his cheek laid open by a musket-ball;
and a few days before' another boy received several
small shot in the legs—so that if there is not a stop
put to the amusement of those heroes, the lives of
the passengers will be in imminent danger. Mr.
Chappell, has very properly taken the matter in
hand, and bas applied to the Police Magistrates of
Hatton-garden, who have promised him their as-
sistance, and we understand that the parish will de-
fray the espesice attending the prosecution, and
finally put au end to this dangerous amusement.

whilst she enquired whether he was at home, and in.

who wanted him. She knocked at the door, and
was told by the footman his master had no •aiece, and
she was an impostor. She returned to where she had
left the Pris, ner, but could not and her nor the
child, on which she raised a hue and cry, and ran in
all directions in pursuit of her. She gave informa-
tion et Merlhorough.street, and the child was after-
wards found with a fruit woman in Bond.street.—
Tuesday evenieg Mr. Sommerville met the Prisoner
and tier maid near Westminster-bridge, and be sent
them to the ssatch•house.. Green, the Officer,
searched the Prisoner, and found a pair of sheets, the
.property of Mr. Sommerville, wrapped round her
body inside her dress.
The little girl, Prisoner's servant, stated herself to

she had been apprenticed to some Lady whom she
dia not like ; Prisoner met• her in the street and took
her away ; she instructed her to call her cousin, and

The Prisoner being called upon to give an ee-
-1 count of herself, burst into tears, end said her name
was Emma Elliott, that she was born of Enlists
parents but begged to he escosed saying in what'
country. She met her uncle, who Is a Gentleman of
independent fortune, end he promised to relieve her,
as stated by Mrs. Sommerville, but she refused telling
his time. She was only IS years of age, and had
unfortunately formed a connection with a young man
who bad not means to support her, which was.the
cause of her misfortunes. •

The Maottcraare addressed her in the Spanish
language, but she still declined divulging any pa-it
of the mysterious account she Ravi of herself:—She.
was committed for re-ezarnitiation.

Yesterday Sarah Lens, Sydney Williams. , and

with having robbed several- children. Mrs. 1141.11ey,
who washes for some of theiloldiers at Knightsbridge
barracks, sent her daughters a child of shout ten
years of age, foi some linen. On her return the
child was stopped by the Prisoners, who asked her.
to fetch them a loaf, and to direct the baker to send
change for a note. Hating prevailed upon the child,.
the Prisoners decamped with the linen. A boy.
named Lambert, about seven years old, had a bundle
of linen taken froni him the same day:. The articles•
have been owned, and traced to the Prisoners, who
are remanded 'till-1410May, when many similar
charges are expected to be brought against them.

charged by a Merchant. in the City, and who- has a
house in Pentotsville, with breaking six panes of
glass in his counting-house window, following him in
the streets, and collecting a mob round him ; also
with coming tit his house at Pentonville, and col-
feeling a mob and putting him in fear of his life.—
The Prisoner some years ago lived servant in the
Complainant's family, where she became pregnant
by him, and was delic'ered of a daughter, which abe
swore to him. He then gave her 201. to go to Ire.
land and nurse the child, allowing ber 251. a-year
there ; promising her, when the child was of a fit
age; to take it under his own care; but still to al-
low the Prisoner her ennui.), for life. When the
child was six years old, the Prisoner returned to
England, and delivered it to the Complainant ; when
he gate her 201. to take her hack, where she was to
receive her annuity, on condition of her remaining
thele,sand newer seeing the child. The Complainant
sent the child to boarding-school, end she is now
14 years of age : the Complainant, now about 50
years of age). having never married,the child is given
to understand that she is the Complainant's daughter,
by a wife who died in Ireland. About 12 months
ago the Prisoner came again to London, and re-
paired to the Complainant's house in Pentonville,
insisting on seeing her child. This the Complainant,
from prudential reasons, refuted. The Prisoner, in
consequence, kept following the• Complainant, and
annoying him, by collecting wilts round his house;
and he therefore bad her then brought to this Office,
when she consented to return to Ireland. The Com-
plainant then gate her 101. to bear her expences, and
one of the Officers money to pay ber.fere to Liver-
pool. From Liverpool, however,- she resettled, and
repaired to the Complainant's counting-house, where
she renewed her eutreaty, but to no effect. tier
sopplications colleked a mob, and she-wits taken be-
fore the Lord Mayor, where:Matters were •again ar
ranged, by giving her 201. on a promise of returning
to the country, where she was to receive her annuity;
and an-Officer was sent with her to Liverpool, to
see her on board the packet. 'this was accordingly
done, and the expellee to the'Complainant was near
401.; but she again returned, and again annoyed
him. In defence, she said, she only.. wanted one
sight of her child, and she would return and die con-
tented. 'Phis request the Complainant persisted in
lefts-kg. The Prisoner, in the most frantic manner
exclaimed, " one is my child; and yuu are not her
