the same gaol for eighteen months.
Since the above sentence was passed, a bill has been pre-
ferred before the London grand jury, assembled in Septem-
ber, 1819, who found a true bill of indictment against Miss
Maria Glenn and Mary Whitby, for perjury ; and on Fri-
day, the 24th of September, 1819, the defendants arrived in
London, accompanied by Mr. Tackett, the guardian of the
former, to put in their plea and give bail; and on Saturday,
the 25th, the defendants attended at Mr. Shelton’s office,
and pleading not guilty, were admitted to bail. The case,

in this interesting cause, we shall watch its proceedings, and
preserve it for our next volume.

almost impossible to say which has the predominance; but
finding she attaches herself more to the latter than the
former, and names herself Mademoiselle (or Miss), we shall
continue to designate her as a female, according to her own
prescription.
Mademoiselle Lefort is of French origin, born in the
south of France, and is one of the few instances where na-
ture, stepping out of her usual track, produces to the won-
dering world a magnet of irresistible and universal attrac-
tion. The hands, arms, feet, and bust possess perfect femi-
nine beauty, likewise the upper part of. the face; the lower
