WALKING AFTER LANDLORDS.-Specia Of
ficer j. j. Pearson has filed another affidavit,
this one against P. Berges, for knowingly
renting the houses Nos. SO and IS Basin
street, to Kate Shaw, VIGOROUSLY lewd and
abandoned person, who uses the premises
for purposes of prostitution. This action, it
seems, is based on a city ordinance, por,.
ton of which is violated by landlord and
tenant. Other cases will probably follow,
and will develop the fact that several citi-
zens who pretend to a great deal of dignity,
let houses to the worst kind of characters.
In this instance, it appears that Paul
leases the houses in question from the own
ers at ordinary rates, and then subjects them
to all sorts of people, charging large rates
for single rooms, thereby obtaining an i'm
mense income.
When Mr.. Pearson called to arrest Berges,
showing him warrant Paul fatty said he
did not care fig for the document or all the
police force and would nOt'be taken to pris
on. His barkeeper Dan backed him. While
the officers back was turned, Paul vanished,
when Mr. Pearson started to pursue him up
stairs, but was opposed by Dan, who held
an ice pick in his hand Extensively.
However, the officer was not to be put Off,
and searched the house, but his man had
escaped. The barkeeper grew defiant and
threatening, for which he was arrested.
When at the stationhouse Paul offered to
surrender himself and obtain release for
Dan, when Recorder Houghton fined them
five dollars each for their bad conduct
Berges will be examined in few days on
the principal complaint.
In case these prosecutions are pursued.
some rich developments will come to light.
Many of our readers are aware that severe
penalties, both fine and Imprisonment,
attach in many other cities to the offense of
renting houses to parties for purposes Of
prostitution.

CRIMINAL COURT. McCort was yester-
day found guilty Of entering dwelling in
the night time, without breaking, with
intent to steal and larceny" So it seems
that there is one jury willing to give this
man his just dues. The verdict is a special
one, and the jury, Mr. Jacobs foreman, did
not write the verdict on the papers until
they returned into the court room, when
each member arose and stated that such
was his conclusion. All this circumlocutiOn
was forced on the court by some one acting
as attorney for the thief. Accused will
probably receive full sentence, and the
attention of the jury which acquitted him
of robbing Mr.. Barlow, will please take
notice that McCOrt has gone up.
Gabrielle Leblanc, the female burglar,
who was found on the premises Of Mr.. De-
bliet, corner of Chartres and Esplanade
streets, on the night of the twenty-frst Of
June, was tried and found guilty. Her per-
sonal appearance does not indicate great
sum of desperation or daring, although the
evidence against her was very strong. She
had been a servant in the family for many
months previous, but was discharged on
account of alleged drunkenness.
