APPREHENSION OF TWO GERMAN
PROCURESSES.

On Friday, in the police court, Hull, the stiPeii•
diary magistrate said he wished to call public atten-
tion to a letter which had been received from Ham-
burg by the chief constable. At the request of the
magistrate, Mr. Jacobsen, the interpreter to the
court, read the letter, which was in German. The
following is a translation of it :
" Hamburg, April 10, 1859.
"To the Police of Hull,—On the 6th of this month two
women went from here with the steamer Tiger to Hum
One of them is named Madame Hamam, the landlady of a
brothel, and the other named Mine. Schwartz, also the keeper
of a house of ill-fame in Hamburg. It was their intention
to go to Liverpool, there to carry out the shameful pigpen
of their disgusting trade, by sending young women to Peters*
burg, and thereby realising heavy sums of money. A IMICI•
berg of citizens in Hamburg appeal to the honourable and
high-minded Englishmen (who were the first to abolish
slavery) to endeavour to destroy entirely this evil by the root.
By tracing the path of those two women you Will interferti
with their evil intention. For that reason we give notice to
the high-born police of Hull that the same two women will
arrive in Hull on Thursday afternoon, by four o'clock, by '
the railway from Liverpool, with a young Englishwoman,
and you will apprehend them, and isparate the poor girt
from those bad women, and if possible make theta answer•
able for their bad actions, and thus prevent this shameful
traffic, which to the human heart even appears a greater evil
than the slave trade. If the above-rimed are not met wit*
at the railway they will certainly be found on beard one of
the Hamburg steamers—the Urania or Britauniae—whioh
usually leaves Hull on Thursday.
" (Signed) " F. 1113ItZlilt.
" N.B. If they are brought to justice you will aeon Emit
out by the English girl that she has been led away-by tho
pretended holiness and smooth-tonguedness of those in-
famous women. If it had not been so very inconvenient I
would have attended personally before you."

The magistrates said the police must act upon the
instructions in the letter, and the chief constable
said the matter should have instant attention. The
police were immediately set in motion, and about
seven o'clock detectives Coulson and Clark, accom-
panied by Mr. Jacobsen, the interpreter, succeeded
in finding the two women, Hamam and Schwartz,
in a German lodging-house in South-street. They
had in their company two English girls, named
Mary Ann Ferguson and Martha Vernon, both 20
years of age, and belonging to Liverpool. They
had arrived in Hull at two o'clock, per train from
Liverpool, and it was their intention to proceed to
Hamburg by the steamer Britannia, which sailed
for that place some time last night. They were
taken to the station house and locked up, but from
the statements of the two English girls there is
reason to believe that they were going to Hamburg
of their own free will, and were fully aware for
what purpose. They will be brought before the
stipendiary magistrate to-day, when the facts of the
case, as far as the knowledge of the police extends,
will be entered into.—Hull Packet.
