She was happy in England. She did not W*M logo
back,-nor to see her two brothers and three sisters, r
he admired this country. She went out in a coach
on Sunday for two or three hours together 4 Her fa-
ther was a drover of cattle, and m going up the eoun-
try was *died by the Boshmen. She had a child by
.t chiintitter at the Cape, where she lived two years.--
The child was dead. She has two black boy. to at-
tend her, and would like warmer clothes. Thg man
who thews he; never comes till she is just dressed, and
then only ties a ribbon round her waist.
To this the affidavit of a Notary was aided, who
had-read the agreement to her in Dutch, and thought
she seemed perfectly to understand it, and be pleased
with lithe prospect of getting half the profits.
Tile ATTORNEY GENERAL congratulited himself
on the idea; that whatever was the result of this Rule;
the woman herself who was the object of it, and every
other person who heard of the appliCation, must feel
that it was highly creditable to the country, that there
were persons in it who would not allow any exhibi-
tions of the kind, which might by possibility be gall.
jag to the feelings, or contrary to the inclinations, of
the persons exhibited, to go on without inquiry and
examination into the circumstances by %licit such
were attended. He knew in this case, where the party
gave hit own consent to the exhibition, that the Court
could not interfere; as if, in that case,,she were set at li-
berty, she would naturally again return to the same
custody. There was only one observation Which,in
jus-
tice to Lord Caledon, he felt himself called on to
make : it having been stated, which was not the fact,
that he had consented to the woman's coming from
the Cape to this country. Hottentots were esteemed
so incapable, that they could not enter into any con-
tract but before a Magistrate; and though a free ser-.
want might leave the Cape, no Hottentot would be
permitted to do so.. It was only in this way that the
woman had been carried before Lord Ciledon ; but
when he understood she had left the country, he was
highly displeased. The laws of morality permitted
such an exhibition as the present, if there was nothing
unbecoming in the mode in which kt was conduct-
ed. He trusted that the woman would be properly
taken care of; and tha, those Gentlemen who had so
honourably to themselves taken the trouble of looking
into her situation, would continue to see that her in-
terests were protected.
• Mr. GAZELEY assured the Court that no imposition
had been practised on Lord Caledon.
Lord ELLE:O3OEOEI4SII said if the exhibition in ques-
Oen shoefld be conducted in such a manner as to oc-
casion an indecent exposure of the person, so as to vio-
late the laws of morality, there was a mode of bring-
ing the exhibitors to punishment, and of preventing
the continuance pf the exhibition. That was not a
case, however, to which the Court were now called on
to direct their consideration. If there had been any
unlawful restraint too, exercised on the inclinations
of the person exhibited, that also would have been a
good ground for the interference of the Court. Here,
however, there was no pretence for any idea of the
kind. The party supposed to be under restraint, had,
in express terms, declared the reverse. She had no
desire of changing her present situation, or of . turn-
ing to her native country. The application therefore
fell to the ground. Rule discharged.

Mr. JEKYLL moved to make a rule absolute which
he obtained on the first day of the Term, calling on
the Plaintiff " to shew cause why the verdict obtain-
ed by her against the Defendant, at the last Assizes
for the Count of Devon, should not be set aside, with
costs, for irregularity ? and why such costs, with
those of the Defendant's application, should not be
paid by Mr. John Clapp, the Plaintiff's Attorney ?
and, that unless the sum of AC67 18s. the costs allow-
ed to the Defendant on a former rule obtained by
the Plaintiff, was paid within ten days, such rule
should be discharxed, and the Defendant he,at liber-
ty to proceed on his judgment o! nonsnit."
The Arrotom GENERAL and Mr. Moons, in shew.
ing cause against the rule, were about to state a long
affidavit, filed on the part of the Plaintiff, relative to
transactions supposed to have taken place between
the Plaintiff's brother and the Defendant ; but were
stopped by the Cow t, as being quite irrelevant to the
business before them.

It appeared, that the parties reside at Plymouth-
Dock ; that, in the Sittings after last Hilat y Term,
the Plaintiff was nonsuited in an Action of Troyer;
which the had brought against the Defendant, in the
County of Middlesex ; that, in EAster Term last, she
applied to set aside such nonsuit, on payment of
costs; which was granted, with liberty to try the cause
in Devon. The Defendant's costs were taxed at
£67 18s. but no part thereof was paid to the Defen-
dant, and the Plaintiff, under the advice of the said
Mr. Clapp, gave notice for trial at the last Devon
Assizes ; on which a notice was given by Defendant,
that as no part of the costs had been paid, he should
not be prepared for his defence. This was disregar—
ded by Mr. Clapp, who tried the cause, and there
being no defence, obtained a verdict for the Plaintiff.
The Court said, it was a condition precedent in the
Role, for such costs to be paid before the Plaintiff
could try her cause ; that Defendant, by giving the
notice he had, had done more than was required of
him ; and directed the Rule to be made absolute.

MANSION Housa.—'Tuesday pang/ Se/eatenr. orb
of the Jew Crimps who infest the East India House,
was charged by Captain White, of the Rebecca West
Indiaman, with an assault and riot in Leadenhall-
street. • It appeared by the evidence of Capt. White,
that one of the apprentices having run away, he was
advised to apply at the India House, to see it the lad
had entered into that service. On going into the
office where the East India sailors are entered, he ob-
served the.boy and brought him out with him. Im-
mediately an his corning into the-street, he was sur-
rounded by about fifty of the crimps, and kicked and
shoved about by them in such a manner, that he was
obliged to let go the boy in order to defend him-
self, when a passage was made for the boy to escape,
and he had not seen him since. The prisoner was
one of the most active of the mob, being'ihe first that
collared him, and it was some time before he could
,extricate himself from the mob. Mr. Richardson,
who lives opposite the India House, saw the mob and
riot, and described it as very serious, and that the pri-
soner and his brother (who is not yet in custody) were
the most active.
Mr. Nalder, the-City Marshal, stated, that he was
sent for in consequence of the distorbAnce, and from
the description of the persons concerned he caused
the prisoner to be apprehended.
Captain White swore positively to hit person as
being one of the first that assaulted hint.
The LORD MAYOR observed, that the conduct of
that description of people had made that part of
Leadenhall-street one of the greatest nuisances of the
City, which he was determined to get rid of, and
therefore gave positive orders to Mr. Naldct and the
rest of the City Officers, to take every person of that I
description into custody, as he was determined to
• punish them with the utmost severity. The prisoner
was held to bail for the offence.
Yesterday Archbald Christy, apprentice to Capt.
Johnson, of the Roebnck, who had entered on board
the Walmer Castle Indiaman, was brought up, when
an officer informed the Lord Mayor, that, pursuant
to Lordship's orders, they applied on board for
the youth by name, 4nd were informed that no such
person was there ; but Captain Johnson pointed him
out, when the officer proceeded to take him away, in
which he was opposed by the crew, who saluted him
with a shower of mud and coals, by which Capt. J.
was severely cut in the face. The youth observed,
that he was persuaded by Solomons to Inuit his ship,
that he took him to his house in East Smithfield, and
when he told him he was an apprentice, S. desired
him not to mention that, that he would get him a
ship, and took him to Blackwall in a coach, and per-
suaded him to enter ; for which he professed his sor-
row, and promised not to offend again. He was
therefore forgiven, and sent to his ship ; but Mr.
White, a wharfinger, and part owner of the Roebuck,
told his Lordship that he was resolved to prosecute
the Crimp. This resolution the Lord Mayor com-
mended, and promised his utmost aid, as this species
of kidnapping was now carried to such a length as
to become a serious disgrace to the City.
W. Knight was fully committed, charged with
stealing several saddles and bridles, the property of
Mr. Good of London Wall : and J. Sexton, for re-
examination, for stealing five pieces cif green harrateen.
1-lArrosz Gartoes.—Yesterday S. Harris was fully
committed, charged with stealing a suit of clothes,
and other things, from the premises of Mr. Norris, in
which he bad taken a lodging fur a singlet night ; as
was Catharine Talent, for robbing a Greenwich pen-
sioner of four f 1 Bank notes, and his pension ticket,
in a house in Field-lane.
GUILD/I/ILL.—Yesterday a fella* of the name of
Hob was charged by Mr. Griffiths, hair-dresser and
perfumer, of Skinner-street and Snov,nill, with a fe-
lony, in cutting part of a pane of glass from his shop-
window on Saturday night last, and stealing there-
out several silver-bladed fruit-knives.
The prosecutor stated, that as he stood within the
window, he observed the cotton on which those knives
were placed stir in an extraordinary way • and upon
looking more minutely, he saw a knife taken out by
some person on the outside. He immediately went
into the street to watch the party, and saw the priso-
ner and another at the window busy, the one taking
out the knives, and the other receiving them. He in-
stantly collared both, but one of them made his escape.
He secured the prisoner. There was a knife found on
his person, the point of which matched with the mark
in the putty of the pane. He was fully committed for
trial.

Smith, the person who has been repeatedly exa-
mined
on a charge of stealing a trunk from the Bell-
Savage Inn, Ludgate-hill, soma weeks ,since, was
again brought up for examination ; but as the pro-
; prietor did not attend, the prisoner was transmitted to
Hatton Garden Office, to be examined on a charge of
