'OSB OF TRg FoCg"
In reply, it may be stated that the person
alluded to il boy about fourteen years Of
aEs, y representation and appearance: not
specially well grown, save in the matter Of
petty mischief. James Hampton is also f..
boy, smaller Than his companion. If the CITY
had a work-house, It would no doubt be the
very place for thesh. It is hardly possible
That either OF tie lads will be improved by a.
s'journ in Jail among the mslefactors to be
found there.
