We mentioned q few days ago the arrest of
lady at q boarding house on Canal street, on a
charge of having stolen sundry valuable papers
from gentleman boarding at the house. We
have been requested to state that the lady who
at present has charge of the establishment did
not live there nor had nything to do with it at
the time of the alleged larceny. The lady
will perceive, on a closer examination of
our account of the matter, that an explanation
is entirely unnecessary, as we not only refrained
from Publishing the name of the party accused
but did not even give the number of her resi-
dence,

ANOTHER OUTRAGE BY THE BOARDING HoUsE
RUNNERS. We have another to add to the list
Of outrages committed by that rufianly and
desperate set of men known as boarding house
49, i
sells trading to this port. Capt Eldrdge, of
the ship Young Brander, lately arrived from
Boston, while walking along the Leyee near his
vessel, at an early hour on Saturday evening
last, was attacked by gang of these wretches
and beaten nearly to death. His first intima-
ton of their hostility was an exclamation from
one of their number, 'tThere goes that old gray
headed - and the next instant he re-
ceived blow in the back part of the head with
colt, slung- shot, or some such weapon, and
fell insensible The monsters then fell upon
him, kicking, beating and stamping his body
and face unll he was incapable of motion, and
his features almost bruised out of human shape
The interference of some persons in the vicinity
probably saved his life, but he was carried on
board his vessel, at Post 81, First District, in
critical condition.
Is itpossible that. in one Of the most populous
and frequented portions of the city, in open
IT,
ted upon an unotfending and respectable old
man, and the perpetrators go unpublished. Is
it possible that our municipal government can
not afford protection to citizens against gang
of lawless villains, who seem to have no fear Of
the consequences of their crimes, and not the
least regard for mems rights or lives These
desperate and remorseless attacks, by the run
ners of unprincpled landlords, upon captains
and sailors arriving in our port, and generally
art nP tho IF fhn,,
have become frequent, and the matter is cry
| ing evil, to which some effective remedy should
be Immediately applied. We suggest, if the or
binary methods of attaining the ends of Justice
fail, that our city authorities abolish the bust
ness of boarding house runners, and treat per-
sons engaged in it as vagrants following no
honest pursuit to obtain subsistence.
