IN a street Brawl in Rochester.
Philadelphians we'll remember one Paul NJ.
Brennan, as arrant rogue and quack as ever
figured in these parts. He found it convenient
TO leave this city and after many wanderings
established himself in Rochester. The press of
the entire country took occasion TO expose his
villainies and polluted character, except one or
two newspapers In Rochester which permitted
the publication of such local notices as the
miserable impostor was pleased to write. But
at last they are forced TO expose him, in con-
nection with street fight in that city. The
Express of Monday has the following:--
This morning, about s o'clock, while John NJ.
Reynolds was employed writing at the front
window of his residence, on North st. Paul
street. he observed two men fighting on the
corner of Mortimer street. He noticed that
one of the party was DR.. Paul NJ Brennan, who
has an Office in Washington Hall, and who
some time since delivered lectures in Corinthian
Hall. Mr.. Reynolds started for the scene eff the
conflict, and observed that the doctor had
man down upon the sidewalk, and was pound
ing him in the face with his fist aud Kicking
him in the head with the heel OF his boot The
man. whose name was afterwards ascertained
to be Mckay, finally got away from the
doctor and fled down the street.. He was cov-
cred with blood, and stream was pouring from
his nose. The affair was witnessed by other cit-
Zens OF the locality, none of whom knew how it
originate Mr. Reynolds, however went to the
police office and swore out a warrant for the ar
rest of Dr. Brennan, charging him with dsorderly
conduct to sit, fighting in the street and dis
turbing the public peace. Prior to the serving
oil the warrant, DIR. Brennan came into the police
Office and gave his version of the affair. He said
that al o'clock this morning he was in the
Oyster OC, an, on Buffalo street, where he takes
his meals, talking and drinking with two other
gentlemen. one of whom is from Brooklyn.
Mckay came in and joined the party. They drank
together several times when the doctor, desir-
ing to get rid of Mckay, told him to go away.
He would not do so, when he (the doctor) says
he slapped him in the face and threw him upon
the floor. Mckay was then put out of the saloon
by one of the employees. Shortly before eight
O'Clock, DR. Brennan started for his rooms, going
by the way of North st. Paul and Pleasant
thought he had been drinking too much. He
alleges that he was followed by Mckay and his
friends, and assaulted on the corner of Morti-
mer aud North Clinton streets. That he turned
upon Mckay and she (McKay) got the worst
of it."
In the scufiie which took place the doctorcla
that he lost or had stolen from him diamond
pin and an amethyst ring; that he valued the
latter because it had epgraven upon it his family
crest. The trial had not taken place when we
left this morning.
DIR. L. s. Preston was called after the above
fight occurred to dress the wounds of Mckay.
He found the mans nose terribly mutiated,
parts being tore away, which will disfgure him
for life. We understand that Mckay has also
obtained q warrant for the arrest of DR.. Brcn-
nan. Thus epdeth the first lesson.
