New YoRK, 18th May, 1s4S
Sir There appears in the columns of the Herald,
this morning, article copied from the albany Evening
Journal, setting forth " fraud" practced upon one
Kenavane. emigrant from Ireland to Illinois. In
order to enable the public to understand this matter
fully it will be necessary to give history of my COM
mencemcnt and continuance of the emigrant forward
ing business Late in the season OF 1S4I. engaged in
forwarding emigrants having previously formed exten
sive connections In Europe. My first experience was
that the forwarders in Albany who monopolised the
business defrauded the emgrant in every possible way
These desperate characters, employing noted
bues to prevent respectable from securing any
portion of the business at withdrew my business
from them at the risk Of my life, and have acted nGe
