JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.
qUKKN-SQUARE I'OLICF. OFFICE.
A gentleman of high respectability and of
considerable fortune, presented himself before
j the sitting Magistrate (W. Fielding, Esq.)
! under the following distressing and interesting
| circumstances :—He stated, that among sever
| al other children, he had one, a son, just turn
| ed thirteen years of age, whose unaccounta
ble depravity of disposition had caused him
the greatest trouble, and very much disturbed
lus happiness and peace of mind. It was
highly painful to him to relate the misdeeds
i of his own child, but only a regard to present
justice, but the boy’s future welfare both in
this world and the next, compelled him to di
vulge the whole of his conduct, in order that
he (the magistrate) might be better enabled
to advise him what steps would be the best to
pursue in a situation so perilous and affecting.
About two years and a half ago several artic
les of value in his house were missing, such j
as silver spoon and other side boaid articles
of plate ; and it was at length found out that
this boy (youth as he was) had been the de
predator : every means of reclaiming him j
from so dreadful a propensity had been tried
in vain ; both chastisement and the most per
suasive argument had proved equally ineffec
j tual—Finding it impossible to keep him at
home on account of his brothers and sisters, he j
had put him to school at a distance from town :
but he soon contrived to decamp from the
situation, and took with him several articles of
value, which he, as his father, and the person
who placed him there, was obliged to make
good, to the amount within iast year of up
wards of 80 1. besides the expenses of his
board and education—Two months ago he ab
sconded fiotn the school where he was placed,
and has never been heard of till within a few
days past, that intelligence had been given to
him (the father) of his being of a gang of j
young thieves who had for some time infested j
Chelsea and its vicinity, amcuniing in number
to 18 or 19—-Shocked at this account, and
trembling for the fate of one so near to him he
had personally set out in search of him in that
neighbourhood, and after several hours of ar
duous quest and trembling enquiry, he was
fortunate enough to meet with him last night
a little before dark, and not being either able
or willing to admit him under his paren’al
roof, he had lodged him in St. Margaret’s
watch-house. The gentleman further s atyl, ]
that after he had got to the watch-house, the '
boy confessed that he had for some weeks be- j
longed to the gang of thieves before alluded j
to, and gave in a list of many, if not all their
names. The bey told him they slept general- j
ly of late on a dunghill near Chelsea ; some- i
(mits in stables and outhouses. He expected |
i to have found the officers, in whose custody he
) left him, at the office with the boy. In about '
I half an hour two constables of St. Margaret’s '
! parish brought up the boy from the watch- j
; house. His appearance, as to figure and mark,
I was rather interesting, being well grown for j
j his years, with a countenance by no meansJe- j
• noting an inclination to such unworthy addic- j
! lions —Mr. Fielding addressed him in a digni- :
! fied style of reproach for his dishonourable con- j
, duct, which brought a blush of shame over 1
his countenance; aqd when he cast his eyes !
j upon his fither, there were such marks of con - '
! fusion and contrition, that the Magistrate ex
pressed a hope he was not gone too far to be
reclaimed —Mr. Fielding asked him where he
had first got acquainted with the gang in ques
• t'on ? He answered, in the Park in a morning,
jon the relieving guard. How came he to be
; so shabbily dressed ? They had made him sell
I his clothes, shoes, stockings, kc. the proceeds
of which had been shared amongst them, and
his present dress had been given to him. He
gave in a list of their nam-ts and the places
| they frequent, which was given into the hands
of Gilmore, the officer, with orders to make
the most diligent, speedy, and effectual search
after them.—Mr. Fielding communicated nri
vately to the gentleman the steps he woula ad
vise him to pursue respecting the boy’s future
destination, which he assured him he would
make the most speedy arrangements to carry
into effect. In the mean time the boy was
committed to Tothiil-fields bridewell, and the
keeper was particularly desire ( d not to let him
mix with any of the other prisoners, but keep
him entirely by himself.
Fatal effects of Seduction.
I Saturday an lnquistion was held at the
; White Hart, London, on view of the body of
j Mi>s .Ylary Ann Scales, an interesting young
1 woman, eighteen years of age. It appeared
j that the deceased had quitted her paternal roof
for soma time, and occupied elegant furnish
apartraens in a respectable house in the neigh
bourhood, where »he passed, as a married wo
man, under the assumed name of Mrs. Wil- i
hams, and where she was frequently, visited
by a Gentleman, who passed as her husband,
but who is supposed to have been har seducer,
and whose desertion led to the melancholy
' catastrophe.
I Elizabeth Young said she lived at No. 80
Plummer’s-row : about half past eleven o’clock
last Monday forenoon, the mother of the de
ceased called on her to enquire if she had seen
t her child, as she was very uneasy on her ac
i count, not having seen Iter since Saturday
I morning—a thing very unusual, as she was in
1 the habit of frequently visiting tier. Witness
! informed her she bad not seen her. They
< then went together to the house in which the
'.deceased lived, and inquired of the lady who
! the house, who informed them that she
j had net seen her for some time. The win
dow-blinds being down fbused their suspicions
that all was not right, and they sent to the
door of her apartment, The mother of the
deceased weni in first, and exclaimed, in the
most piteous cry, “ O God my poor child is
dead in bed ! Witness followed, and saw the
deceased dead in her bed, partly dressed
and partly undresled. There was a tea-cup
standing on the chimney-piece, with a sort of
black sediment in it, and a glass of water on
the table. There appeared no marks of vio
lence on her person. The people of the house
were highly respectable ; and she had no
cause to suspect any person. She knew the
deceased for about three years ; and, from
her being a playful, sprightly girl, she became
qdite melancholy and low-spirited, which wit
ness attributed to her having formed an im
proper connection.
The Jury returned a verdict of“ Bied, sup
posed from poison.” The following is the
copy of a letter found in her toilet, which,
from the post-mark,it appears she received on
the Thursday before her death:—
“ Again I am obliged to send you paper,
instead of appearing myself. My mind is
constantly on the rack, and my time so divi
ded and subdivided, that I find to my sorrow
that I am utterly incapable of keeping any en
gagement that 1 may make; therefore 1 shall
make no more, but trust to chance and for
tune. My partner still continues dangerously
indisposed. I have occasion to go and see
him almost every day to Camberwell. How
long this state of things may continue with me
I know not but this I do know, that I shall re
joice much when they are terminated. My
; health of late is somewhat impaired. To-mor
row morning I sha!' leave London for a few
days, and return on Wednesday next; longer
I cannot stop. As you are difficult of belief,
I must rely, or rather appeal, to your liberali
ty, for the truth of this statement.
“ I remain your's sincerely, J. \V.
“ Thursday Evening "
[ From a French paper.']
covß RorALE —Housseau, and a woman,
| named Marcelle, were condemned to one year’s
' imprisonment by the common tribunal of Tray
es for various acts of swindling practised upon
ignorant peasants under the pretext of curing
their diseases, killing their enemies, &c. The
Public Accuser throught their punishment too
light, and therefore bought the case by ap
peal before the COUR ROYALE.
The following are some of the tricks practis
ed by Housseau and his associate:—
They were extremely fond of eating poul
try, it appeals, for almost every favour which
they weie to obtain from the devil (and they
pretended to have his Satanic Majesty under
j their controul) was preceded by the sacrifices
j of a fat hen or capon—The head was cut off
amid some hurrid incantations, and enclosed
in a tin box—This box was buried in the pre
sence of the parties, and in a few days dug up, I
when a frog usually leapt out— *• There 1” said
Housseau, “ you have gained ,your wishes—
j had it been a serpent I should have been soiry
1 for you.”
j But Housseau’s devices were not always so
j innocent, for in 1813, he was tried befoie the
! tribunal of Chartres for an act of compound
; blasphemy and villany—He pursuaded a far
f tner, who had lost a great many of his cattle
| that season from disease, that a neighbour (who
I had given Housseau some offence) had be
witched the animals—The credulous farmer
t accordingly accompanied Housseau at mid
night into 17 churchyards, and filled 17 small
sacks with earth from each—On their return
to the cottage of the peasant, the sacks were
placed in mystical older on the floor ; a due
number of the feathered race was killed, and
the heads placed on the sacks—The farmer,
his wife, and his children, were placed on their
knees around the sacks, and ordered to say cer
tain prayers which they did most devoutly—
Suddenly a dreadful voice was heard in the '
chimney—“ lam the Devil,” said the voice,
“ and I am coming among you.”—The farmer
and his wife clung to their knees of the preten
ded sorcerer, and besought him to stop there.
; He replied, that he could not arrest the pro
gress of the incantation—The Devil redoubled
his cries—the poor villagers renewed their en
treaties, and produced the purse which contain
ed their savings for many years—At sight of
this Housseau affected to consent with reluct
ance, and went out and held a parley with the
i Devil, who consented to accept of money—
i Housseau then pietcnded, that by interrupting
the grand process nothing could be done !
sgainst the life of their enemy, and made his
bow and retired—The wife of the farmer has
been insane ever since.
Although such was the atrocity ©f Housseau’s
conduct, the terror of his name as a sorcerer
kept back all the metcrial witnesses when he
was brought to trial for the crime—He was
convicted merely of being a drawer of cards,
imprisoned for five days, and fined in 15 francs.
Under all these circumstances, the Public
Prosecutor brought the case by appeal, as al
: ready stated Lefore the Coir Koyale, and Hous
seau was speedily condeinnei lo five years im
piisonment and a fine of 1000 francs. The wo
man Marcelle was sentenced to one year’s im
piisonrucnt, as an accomplice.
