Altogether, Kimberiey looks more like a lawn 2 or 300 yoars old, thau a mlniug community 11 years old The only bug-bear in thi community i the Illicit Diamond Buyer. Tho men and women coming under this head, encourage the negro to steal diamonds from the claims or depositing floor of hi master, and acquire at a merely nominal price some of the finest gem over unearthed, defrauding the bard working digger out of his just dues. When caught or trapped iu the act, they have been frequently lynched. Tho punishment by law for this oneuce i 20 years iinprisoument. with hard labor and 100 lashes.
