In the Common Pleas, yesterday, Emma Kemp sued Mr Latimer,

Vice- Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, for false imprisonment. The case arises out of the proctorial system at Cambridge, and the exercise of a power to imprison women found in the streets after certain hours. Iii January, 1860, a Mr. Graham had taken his degree and gave u bachelor's ball in honour of the event at Shelford. Miss Kemp was taken into custody as she was going to the ball in an omnibus, by the "bull-dogs," and carried to the "spinning-house," where the Vice-Chancellor sentenced her to imprisonment for fourteen days, refusing to hear evidence as to her character. Five days after she was liberated. The case was adjourned till today.
