And why should not these travelling merchants have an exchange as well as the stationary ones of Bridgetown?
On reaching the station-house, which is about six miles from town, we learned that Saturday was not one of the court days.

We accordingly drove to Captain Hamilton's residence.

_He stated that during the week he had only six cases of complaint among the thirteen thousand apprentices embraced in his district._ Saturday is the day set apart for the apprentices to visit him at his house for advice on any points connected with their duties.

He had several calls while we were with him.

One was from the mother of an apprentice girl who had been committed for injuring the master's son.
