taff* flic begged witi* some e.trncftnefs, thir they woull
n«n impede her in an attempt to deliver & mewoiial to Itis
MajelSf. As t*r door of the carriage was opened, and the
King whs in i4ic aft of alighting the flatted forward, and i.el \
spaper toward* h;» Majefly, which he received with gracious
comlefcentiou. At the fame inllant, a knife which die held in
her hand, and which was concealed under the memorial, was
directed at the bicaft of the Kim*; the ihoke wui happily
avoided bv Ids Majefly bowiug as Jie took the paper ; ibe
made a fecoud flroke, but the attendant Tfconion, feeing licr
drift, rurtied forward, and caught bet arm ; at tiie fame time
Mr. Toptin, King** footman, lei.al the knife. The.So*
vereigh, with amazing temper and fortitu !e, exclaimed at
the intrant, “I have received no injury! Don’t hurt the
woman ! the poor creature appears insane !**
-yiOdgjcfty, when hr entered the roy.il ajurtments, open
ed the paper, in which appeared written,—To the King’*
Molt fclxccltent Majefly; the tifual head to the petition bat
nothing more.
Upon tiic woman being l>«ured, Mr. Pitt, Lord Carmar
then, Lord Sidney, the Lari of &dilbnry» the Mailer of
Nolls, and the Attorney General, were convened into the
council chamber, where they proceeded to examine her.
Her in me is Margaret Kicholftm, and flic appears to have
lived f-u ineir in I,ord Couventry’s family as an attendant t*
some of his Lordihip’s daughters, hutfiuce that time the has
exiiied aaa fcmpllrels, in the milliuery and mantua branches.
Abon: lix years ago, die lived with Mils Price, of Argyle 5
Buildings, whofi service die quitted ou a pretence that die
had been left a capital fortune. She afterwards worked
with Mr. Watftm, Hatter, in New Bond-ltreet, .tffrom :he
frequently prciicd to prelent petitions iu her behalf to ilia
Majefly ; faying continually, (be had a large claim upon,' the
government. For the lad three years of her life, the lodged
at the honfc of Mr. Freke, bookfcller in the corner of Mary
le Bone Lane, near Port man fquarc. i»he did not appear in
the lead cmbarralicd before the Council, anf.vercd some
quertioys with conliftcncc, and others incoherently, iTHcr
objecl, die laid, was to obtain the prayer of her petition by
terrifying the King, which lhe fancied ike light of the knife
would have eitc&od. Upon it being übferved that the paper
llie prclcntcd contained no writing ; die replied, the King
knew what die wanted, as lhc had often p relented petitions i
which papers, it feeins, upon enquiry, appear to hare been
delivered; but they abounded m the molt glaring incon- .
fluencies, and were diftegarded at the tuue.
At intervals lhc talked of a claim on government—law
soil—just cause—and Inch like feiiteaces ; and in answer to
some of the interrogatories proofed, laid die ihould avow the
motives ofher conlu.f hes ire thole who had a right to quell ion
her. After these declarations die foinetimes reiuamedJilcnt
fur a time ; and v. ouid not r eply.
