JOB
Of everyilesajtti,cm, nently, ilFieuted at the
deter . office. .
The following curious cases showing the
mistakes Which may sometimes occur hole'
identity of an indiVidual, are copied from an
English paper:
"A young gentleman articled to an attor
ney in London, was tried on five indictments
for different acts of theft. A person resemb.
ling the prisoner in size-and general ap
pearance had calle'd at various shops .in the
metropolis, for the purpose of , looking at,
j,welry, hooks, and other articles, with the
pre tended intention of making purchases,
but made off with the property phiced be
fore him, while the shopkeepers were en-.
gaged in looking out other articks. In each
of these cases the prisoner Was positively
identified by several persons, while in a ma
jority of them an alibi was clearly and posi
tively established, and the young,man was
proved to be of orderly habits and irreproach
able character, and uider no temptation
from want of money, to resort to acts of dis
honesty.. Similar depredations on other
tradesmen had been committed by a person
resembling the prisoner, and those persons
proved that, though there was a considera,,
He resemblance to the prisoner, he was not
the person who had robbed them. The
prisoner was convicted on one indictment,
but acqUitted on all the otheri; and the judge
and jurors who tried the three lust cases,
expressed their conviction that the prisoner
had been mistaken, and that the prosecutors
had been robbed by another person resemb
ling the prisoner. A pardon was immedi
ately procured in respect of that charge on
which the conviction had taken place.
Not many month before the last mention
ed case, a respectable young man was tried
fur a highway robbery, committed in the
nein libialmod of Bethnal Green. in which
neighborhood both he and the prosecutor
resided. The prosecutor sword positively
that the priSoner was the man who robbed
him of hiS watch. The counsel for the pri
:null. called a genteel young woman, to
whom the prisoner paid his addresses who
gave' t vidence ‘yhi h proved a com ; lt.te
The prosecutor was then ordered out of
Court, and in the interval another young
man, of the name of Greenwood, who await
ed his trial on a capital charge of felony.
was introduced, nod placed by the side of
the prisoner. Thu prosecutor was again
placed in the witness box, and addressed
thus:—Remember, sir, the life adds young
mart depends upon your reply to the ques
tion lam about to put. Will you swear
again that the young man nt the bar is the
person who asz,aulted you ? The witness
turned his. bend towards the dt.ck, when
beholding two men so nearly alike, he be
came petrified with astonishment, dropped
his hat, and tuns speechless for a time, but
at length declined swearing to either. The
young man was of course acquitted. Green
wood was tried for another offence. and ex
ecuted ; and a few hours before his death
acknowledged that he had committed the
robbery with which the other was charged.
The Mother's First Doty. .

I would wish every mother to pay atten
tion to the diffe•re•nce between a coarse of
action, adopted in compliance.with the au
thority. and between a conduct pursued for
the sake of another.
The first proceeds from reasoning; the
second flows from affection. The first may
be abandoned, when the immediate cause
may have ceased to exist ; the latter will be
permanent, as it did not depend upon cir
cumstances, or accidental considerations, but
is founded in a moral and constant princi
ple.
In the case now before as, if the infant
does not disappoint the hope , of the mother,
it will be a proof, first of affection, secondly,
of confidence.
Of affection—for the ea rlieit, and the most
innocent wish to please, is that of the infant
to please the mother. If it be questioned,
whether that wish•van at all exist in one so
little advanced in development, I would again
as I do upon almost all occasions, appeal to
the experience of Mothers.
It is n proof, also, of confidence. When
ever an infant has been neglected ; when the
necessary attention hae not been paid to its
wants; and when, instead of the smile of
kindness, it has been treated with the frown
of severity ; it will be difficulty to restore it
to that quiet and amiable disposition, in
which it will wait for the gratification of its
desires without impatience, and enjoy.,it
without greediness.
If affection and confidence have once gain
ed ground in the heart, it will be the first
duty of the mother to do every thing in her
power to encourage, to strengthen, and to
elevate this principle.—Peetakixi.
