Pvare--;)' and made in such a manner th6t she ap.
(fit tu be naked. He' asked, sortie questions of
hr,:aii.eirsorf who exhibited. her, who said that he had

,her
111;it-.1111'e Dutch boors who came trot° the interior;
Mine, kr-id liberty of the Goreinor of the Cape to
.2 tit- gwa.,.
) The deponent asked it he had Lord

%N.-1

Caledon'S permi.sion wriiing to bring her au ay,";
he said he, had,:abd de;:onent .asked hiia to pro-
duce it ; he r,„;lu,ed, ,suing he shot,dd tirtswer no
more questions .on the., subject.
.The unfb: tureate
woman was led about, the stage by her keeper, aud :
exhibited •like,a bpast; and was oblige& to walk,
stand, and sit, and., go or come as her iceeptp* or-
dered her, and Seemed to b:_ive no will of her own.
Indeed, it was impOssible 10.-any one to hear her
deep sighs and -nbsetve the suile'noess of her manner,
and not be convinced shL.:%vai,ai:ting contrary to her
inclination, and was altisether tDtdcr cr.mtroui,of her •
keeper. The d,ponent afterwards-took two Genre-'
men' (tiellanderg) with.him, ask,,d her set era!
questions In Dutch, as where'che came from ?, whe-
ther she had any relations ? if st.:e wa's livpy ? and
whether she would wish to return to her own coun-
try? To none of which questions cotql‘oey übidin
an answer, her keei-er hen,o- by at the tin-n;,
Lord .ELLLNEOROUG H youratfidavit state
that'she'ever sp,ke.Dcrch ?

ATTORNEY 1-....4ENERAL.--Yes, my LOrd,,
.ber
keeper spoke 'Dutch 10 her, and once'wh6 she
did not come tOrwaf.l immediately on being called,
he went to her, ?rid holding his ,hand up in a it,e-
nacing :posture, `said something to her in Dutch;
when stye cattle flirward. In a case like the presegt,
the Attorney Geperai said this was the best sv,idylw
cotitrl,ulof cOtild get at. • He. did not ave
ber ternoved, he only- wislred the Court, to pat her
in a situation to ansvier it she wa3.under cony oul or
not. lie should suggest' that a person approved of
by the Master of the Crown .Office should be 4:111-
.„
ptoved to question her.
Mr. jusuce BAMBY.-ThiS,nni's't to Clone in 'pre-
"sence of some person on behalf of the 'keeper, who
also untdersta'nds tbe language:'.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—Certainly, qty Lord, her
keeper or 'any othcr person under wl•ose contibul
she: hai ever_ been, not being -present.

Lord ELLI:NI3O4OUGH.--boes your afiidePit say
she is' exposed in an indecent manner, and that she
appears loaa agaitistler inclinatiotl as to 'exposiilg
her person ?

ATTORNEY-GENEIiAL.—She is dressed, my Lord,
in a thin dre..s, assimilated tb,..her person, and does
exhibit all her shape and trance of body as if naked.
Illr.Justice LE BLANc..---What is yalr rule ? - •
ATTORNEY-GENERAL.--My Lord, I apply for a
rust; to slew cause why a writ of,llabeas Cuipus
should riot be granted to bring 90 the body, of this

, Lord &r..EtlattouGu.—Does any- person. Unde-
rstand .her. language"? She way know just enough Of
Dutch to understand the word of command.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL.--Not•
the Hottentot 13n-
guage;,but it is stated in my Affidavit, that her keeper
said she understood Low. Dutch iniperiedly.
Mr. Justice LE BLArq'c..—When she is brought
here she must go where'she pleases, the Court can-
not' take her out ()lone person's custody to place her
in another's.

Lord.ELLniacittotTOH.—Yott must make our to
us that she-can make at) election, and that she wishes
to go back to her own country; you 'my see her
in ihe'ab,ence of her keeper, but one must be pre-
sent on- his behalf.

Tire rule to shew cause was granted, and also a
rule calling on tne present keeper of the-ten-tale in
question, to admit to the presence of the woman, a
peisou who ...houid be named by the peseta appli-
emus, w,ho understands the language spulsen by her,
in the absence of • her keeper hirriself, and of every.
person in his employ accustomed to exercise any
soft of controul over her, there being only pt escitt,
on the part of the keeper, a person who also limier:-
stands the language in which the woman could make
herself understood, such person being a stranger to
the woman. •
