watchmaker; he therefore fixed himself in that line at Wetherby in Yorkshire; but she not being used to domestic œconomy, and he more fond of shooting than minding his business, their affairs soon became deranged, and they were obliged to remove, when, after living at Selby and other places, they fixed their residence at Brigg, where they resided several years; but again failing in business, they left Brigg for Louth, from which place they were finally removed back to Brigg as paupers, where Norweb soon after died. Since the publication of her Book, I am told that Mrs. Norweb has been thrown into considerable distress, by a too scrutinizing inquiry into her acquaintance with a noble Family, and particularly by inquiring of the late Lady Caroline, who not recollecting Poor Janetta, a slur is therefore thrown upon the veracity of her statement altogether. Now, Mr. Urban, I may be mistaken; but, having been favoured with a perusal of her Book, I must confess myself greatly interested in her behalf; and although her narrative may contain a portion of the fictitious, yet am I very unwilling to conclude that on that account the general tenor of her history should be altogether scouted as an imposition. It is well known, though not perhaps in the neighbourhood of the town of Brigg, that the house of Scott and Co. still exists as one of the principal houses in Madeira, but I do not know any person of the name of Scott amongst the present partners in the firm; and although Mrs. Norweb's Book is full of anachronisms, yet there are so many particular circumstances so undisguisingly stated, that in my opinion they carry along with them a sort of conviction of their being founded on facts. Certain it is, however, that Mrs. Norweb is an inmate of the poor-house; and that, from her manner, conversation, and conduct, she has obtained the good-will of the many respectable families of the place, whose kindness and attention to her most happily contribute to alleviate the distresses of her present situation. Yours, &c. A TRAVELLER.
