Jacob Patchen, Esq There is no man IN
BROOKLYN better known than this gentleman
About six wears since, the Trustees Of Brooklyn
took from him piece Of property, opened street
through it to the market, and, according to legal
construction, it became q common highway,
much to the Improvement of the village. To
Mr.. P. $3.50 dollars was awarded. This he re-
fused. and after long and expensive litigation,
Me. p. yesterday put up fence at each end OF
the street, enclosing several families and prevent
ing many from going to market except by cir-
cuitOus route.
The novelty produced considerable excite
ment, and If the population Of Brooklyn had not
been composed Of people OF discretion, there
would no doubt have been some trouble.
We visited the village at last evening. at
Which time squibs and small rockets were let off
from the enclosure, to keep off unrnIy boys. At
10 last night we understand that Mr.. p. was in
quiet possession Of his enclosure. We hope the
tranquility of Brooklyn will shortly be restored,
by an amicable settlement between the parties.

stated had been given to her by gentleman who
