Mr. Ilue!;:tigkon, the member for Sheffield, applied on Tuesday to the Lord Mayor, lit behalf of a native Indian woman, who had come over to this eountry from Calcutta as a servant to a family in the ship

Sir Peter Laurie, however, sent for a gentleman from the India House, and represented the poor woman's ease to hint ; and it was finally arranged that the Company should send her back.
