Kastar Hauser 
guardian, Herr von Tucher, no longer regarded him with 
affection ; he was treated as a stranger in the house. He had 
never been told of the five hundred guldens which Lord Stan- 
hope had given towards his support, and Herr von Tucher had 
decided to have him learn the bookbinder’s trade, which he him- 
self did not wish to learn. Finally, he requested to be given up 
to Lord Stanhope as his adopted son, and asked permission to 
stay with Mayor Binder until the matter should be decided. 
Lord Stanhope also petitioned for Kaspar’s removal to the 
house of Mayor Binder, as circumstances had arisen which 
rendered further dealings with Herr von Tucher impossible. 
Herr von Tucher replied by saying that the “circumstances ” 
consisted in the fact that he had been obliged to write to Lord 
Stanhope, begging him to change his conduct towards Kaspar 
Hauser, as his manner of confiding in and flattering the youth 
was spoiling him for regular training. The letters were shown to 
the court, displaying Von Tucher’s noble character in the strongest 
ight. 
Herr von Tucher requested the court to discharge him from 
‘he duties of guardian, as, after what had passed, Kaspar Hauser, 
ready made his enemy, would be more bitter than ever, and no 
one could undertake the care of him with success unless he were 
antirely removed from Stanhope’s influence. He himself could 
not keep him in his house, as his mother would not consent to 
nave him in the family any longer. 
November 26, 1831, the citygovernment agreed to give up Kaspar 
Hauser if Lord Stanhope would bind himself to provide a suitable 
2ducationr and a sufficient support for his protégé. This was done 
November 29, 1831, and December 2, 1831, the papers were 
nade out which transferred Kaspar Hauser to Lord Stanhope’s care, 
he city of Nuremberg still retaining the right of guardianship, 
ind the office of guardian being transferred from Herr von 
Tucher to Mayor Binder. Herr von Tucher was released from 
his duties December 47, 1831, but Mayor Binder did not assume 
authority until November 26, 1833.
