sNewTork, Nov II, 1851
ths is correct statement the Journal presues It
is it shows thst innocent has been robbed Of his
property 5000 in value being all that he hs h the
world for other offence than touching at the port OF
New York. in his transit from sayehodng State
other State and further that the robhery
was effected by Of infamous fraud. Who sent
those carriages proasedly to take Mr. Lennon and his
family to the steamer Memphis. but in reality 10 drop
them down in Carlisle street strangers in strange city
that they be able to depart in the steamer Mem
phs? Or, had the drivers been tampered with by the
aboonists and bbed to carry the strangers to Caxisle
instead going to the dock where the
lying 1t is clear that somebody told string Of false
in order that $1,000 robbery might Be committed
under the forms Of law hope that the authors Of th
mischief whoever they may be, win be ferreted out
punished as they deserve.
The Journal of Commerce of the 18th adds:
The proposition raise $4,000 by voluntary subecrp
tion to indemnify Mr. Jonathan LENNON of VrRlnia
loss Of his slaves while touching at this port
since his Tcxns has been universally approved
far information extends Pledges exceeding $50
in the aggregate have been sent to us by responsible c
part of the fund, condition that the who
| amount shall be raised.n
