| . TEMrohA, . MonEs!-On Saturday
afternoon last We witnessed on the
streets o! Chester sight which We had
thouSht never to have seen We saw a
respectable white lady being dragged to
ld:i by negro constable for an alleged
contempt nt Il negro court. The lnly
, was Mrs. William NJ. Robins. She had
5ean arrested OF Il warrant issued by B.
+. Michael, negro Trial Justice, upon
another negro. that she ha, made n1
assaalI upcn him. While the bond for
her nlpenrauce for trial was being pre-
pared, Mrs. Robins Remarked that she
was done with nigRers on Ter planta-
ton; that !hey suvo her 30 much tron,
! bic that she did nor iuteLd to have IN,
more Of them about her. a: this
Michael CIV into u rage, accused her of
having insu!ted him, u..i ordered that
SHE shonld be confint.i III thc common
jail OF the County tor twelve hours for
contempt of his court. In vain did
she GisclaIm having said Il word about
the court; in vain did she denynny pur-
pose to insult the Trial Justice; IN vain
her counsel, General Walker, assured
the Trial Justice that tEe remark hnI no
reference to either him or his court: the
| con mltment was written Ont, placed in
the hauils of lsom Cirier, Il uegro, and
orders given to hin ~ carry the p:i-
Sonfr to jail. The poor woman was led
