To Date in
The President brought to the notice Of the Com
mssioners the fact that most drgracefal system
fraud AID robbery was being perpetrated Oh unfUru
nate emicrants Of all nations who had the misfortune
to pass through the seaports Of England their way
10 The American Republic. The false tickets 80 ire
quently sold t0 uDsuspectins emgrauts had produced
10 small ccmmUtion among large and Increasing
hody Of people who were every day approaching
these shores in very large bodies. He would lay be-
fore the Board the atidayits Of the several parties
concerned.
The facts set forth by the adavits of the victims o.
this vile ard unmanly conspiracy that in Lis
penard street Liverpool there resides one Fracketon,
whose trade Judging by his actions must be that of
pckpocket. The parties agCrieved, who now con-
plain are emgranis from Ireland who, tired Of the
Injustice and oppression they have endured at nome,
have long sought to come To " the land If the free
TO sit at ease under their vine and ig tree. Mr.
Fracketon the imposor before named, keeps ticket
ofice, and professes to he IN connection with tne
Loeschcr House in Greenwich street, IN this city. He
offered 10 sell through tickets to their several desna-
tons to the different persons who made application to
him. The consequence was that number Of persous
were imposed upon. Some pald 80 some =, some
e. and some only El. But yet each one was de-
frauded to some extent. On the face o! these bogus
tickets it pretended that the parties therein named
would be carried TO several parts Of the Western
States and 20 Canada. Not long after the arrival of
late cmigrant ship number Of these tickets, drawn
upon Nj. Loescher, were presented to that gentleman
in his Greenwich-s,ree office but he declined Ia have
ANYTHING TO do with them. In fact he pronounced the
tickets and Mr. Fraokleton, the seller and drawer, rs
parts Of one great imposition. The poor eInigrants,
thus disgracefully pundered, remonstrated IN vain,
and finally had no other ateT atiye but Ia bring the
matter to the notice Of their friends the Commission
ers Of Emigration. The President very promptly d.
rected Public Notary OF the City oi New orA TO
call on Mr.. Loescher and TO protest against the
Frackleton tickets in regular legal form, on behalf
of the emigrapts imposed upon This has accordingly
been done.
The afidavits Of all the parties concerned that il,
the duued emirrants-were laid before the Board at
the meeting on Wednesday, Many Of the parties i'm
posed upon have families dependent upon them Tor
support and being suddenly left IN this great city
withou. the means Of living, they have been reduced
to much distress. -
examined the documents, and one and all expressed
their indignation at the dishonest conduct which hal
been pursned toward poor emigrants.
The PREsIDsNT hoped some action for the protcc-
ton Of emigrans would be- taken without any delay.
Capt. CRABTREF fully conceded In the n'ccssty Tor
crushg so outrageous abuse on those who were 80
liable to be imposed upon.
After few remark. from other Commissioners, 1t
was resolved that Committee, consisting OF the Pres
dent Vice President and the counsel 10 the COmulis
sion be appointed TO confer and take legal steps TO
punish the offenders in the premises.
The MAYOR of Brooklyn offered q resolution which
was adopted TO the effect that Special Committee
be appointed to confer with the Government IN reer
ence to the location of Quarantine.
Nice-President CR,BTRgE laid before the Board a
letter from Dr. Walscr assistant physician at Quaran
tine stating that he had served the notice given hin
on the Sheriff of Richmond County. The Sherifl hai
frankly stated that he had received all preNions
notices but that he could not procc. the property,
and otherwise expressed his willingness at AL times
to do his duty.
The Board then adjourned.
