murder has been committed at Liverpool,
which is almost, though by no means quite,
unique in the annals of crime, and which will
greatly perplex the Jud ges. A c%oroner's Jury
has afirmefthat Samuel Crawford, nine years
old, and Robert Shearon eight years old, have
wilfully murdered a lad ma med Eccles, in order
to steal his clothes. Ora wford being an incor-
rigible truant, his mother had locked up his
C lothes; but he got out, and, in company with
Sh earon, made up the deficiency by deliberate
ly, and af ter thee separate efforts, drowning
Ec cles. 1t is a frightful story; but what is to
be done with the criminals if convicted? Mod
ern OPT MON will not allow of their execution;
and Imprisonment or life is a penalty which
they will scarcely feel. They Will in manhood
forget the crime, OR tn at they ever We're free
We suppose the &C tual penalty will be a life
sentence, the Crown be ing left to exercise its
pre- rogative in the event of the boys becoming
ci vilised; but, somehow hat is not wholly sa-
tisfactory. The children may practically be
rewarded for being criminal. The case, for
t~unately, does not often occur, but cases of
cruelty betraying precisely the same callous
alb sence of sympathy constantly do. If the
children had drowned a cat for its skin, they
would, in the suburbs of Liverpool, have pass
