AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT The Ellicott CITY
Tines of 18th inst, says Gan unprovoked as
sanlt with horsewhip and cowhide was commit
ted on Monday morning last upon the person of
Mr. Crawford, proprietor of livery stable in this
place, by three persons from Baltimore county,
who, 1t was afterward ascertained, were Rev. Dr.
Carrow, his son, and his son in-law, a Mr. Gould
The alleged cause for this unexpected and unpro-
voked attack was that on the evening previous
somebody driving vehicle on the Thistle road,
nearly collided with a carriage driven by Mr.
Gould, frightening his wife, who was walking
on the other side of the road, it is said, into
severe nervous spell. Hearing in some manner
that Mr.. Crawford was the driver of the vehicle
in question, it was determined that he should be
summarily punished a project which the three
proceeded to put into execution early on Monday
morning. Mr.. Crawford, who had never seen
the parties before, was considerably hurt in the
melee, which was only stopped by the sudden
appearance of Officer Isaac upon the scene. by
whom the bellgerent trio were arrested and taken
before Justice Watkins, who recognized them to
appear at the September term of our Circuit
Court.
considerable indignation was excited among
our citizens by the affair, which is universally
regarded as a most unjusti6able outrage, and at
one time it looked as though the assailants would
suffer dearly for their unwarranted conduct in
assailing peaceful member of our community
who was probably in ignorance of their very ex-
istence. Such mode of seeking redress for a
fancied wrong cannot be justified in any civilized
community, and when the fact is further taken
into consideration that the case was one of mex
cusable mistaken identity, the enormity of the
otfense becomes much eggravated-to what ex-
tent it remains for court and jury TO say, of
whom it is 10 be hoped and believed that for the
protection Of life and limb and the sake of law
and order the penalty imposed will be common
surate with the gravity of the ofense committed"
