June 17th. — About a fortnight ago, I was driving through Hooghly Bazaar, and saw a crowd collected before the police office. On asking what was the matter, I was told that a man had been apprehended in the act of stealing a boy, and that the parties were inside the guard-house. Upon hearing this, I entered the house, and found a boy of ten or twelve years old, sitting on the lap of a man who w^as said to have rescuerl him. The boy was half stupid, and one of his eyes was swollen ; I therefore ...ordered him to be taken to the hospital. The culprit was then shown to me. He said he was a barber ; and a bundle containing his instruments of trade, was produced ; this I care- fully examined, but only found the usual barber's tools. The boy soon recovered his senses, and told me, readily and con- sistently, the following tale, which I again heard him repeat before the magistrate, in a different sequence, but without a tittle of variation. He said, that early in the morning he went into a field close to a house, and that shortly after, a strange man left the road, and came up to him: as soon as he was near him, he began to mutter charms, and then took hold of his hand ; very soon after, he passed his hand across his eyes, and that thereupon he lost his senses, and only recollected that the man led him away, but without force, and that he felt compelled to follow him.
