Friday 10. About two o'clock in the afternoon, the Countess of Strathmore was taken from the house of Mr. Forster in Oxford-street, under the pretence of a warrant to take her before Lord Mansfield; but in fact to carry her off by a company of ruffians. She was forcibly thrust into her own carriage, her own coachman taken from the box, and a stranger put in his place, who drove off at a most furious rate, and did not stop till he arrived at Barnet, where the carriage was met by a company of armed men, to the number of eight: that in passing through one of the turnpikes, the lady was seen to struggle much, apparently gagged, and in great distress: but farther intelligence could then be ascertained. It appears since that she has gained her liberty; but, as her story is an interesting event in a free country, we shall forebear enlarging upon it till we can tell it on better grounds than common report. An Habeas Corpus was however immediately obtained; and as soon as confident with the forms of law, an attachment against Andrew Robinson Bowes, the husband of the lady, which it will probably prove a dangerous attempt to execute.
