t%o young ladies took one OF the city hacks
at Clinton place yesterday, and came as

calling it an imposition. The hack driver

adopts the mean, low, scurrilous practice Of
swindling young ladies'. Common gallantr,

nothing in his license prohibiting him from

caught in a like manner. DO the fair thing
