Jane Cumming m. Tulloch (1795/6 – 24 April 1844) was a witness in a libel suit made famous in the Lillian Hellman play, The Children's Hour.
[1] George Cumming had travelled to India, aged eighteen years old, to work for the company as his father and uncles had done before him.
This was provided she enroll and succeed at a new school for ladies, run by teachers Marianne Woods and Jane Pirie.
[5] Jane gave testimony in the case,[3] claiming she was frequently woken at night to find Woods visiting Pirie's bed.
Jane Cumming's testimony was ascribed to the racially biased argument that her Indian upbringing had exposed her to sexual knowledge and deviancy.
