ored hag named widow Hypolite Bourgonin, VIII
has small farm Gentilly road, about thret
miles from the city, together with q Frenchmal
| named Ernest Metze, the overseer on the place
and several negroes, slaves Of the above-namey
colored woman. Complaint had been made by tn
i neighbors Of widow Bourgonin, that she was i
the habit of treating her slaves in the most crue
manner, and the Chief quietly instituted inquiries
| which resulted in bringing to light facts which ar
| almost unparalleled in the annals Of cruelty.
seems that Mrs. Bourgontn is in the habit of burn
ing her slaves with hot irons on the tenderest parts
starving them to the verge of death, overworkin
them, and forcing them to eat filth of the mos
loathsome description. The negroes who wer
arrested had sufficient evidence upon their bode
to prove excessive inhumanity, and their starve
and half crazed expression was sickening to loo
upon. We trust that the female wretch, and lie
aid and abettor in her cruelties, the oversee
Metze, may be punished to the full extent of tn
