PAT MALoNEY ON TIE RAMPAGE AGAIN, There
being five Pat Maloneys of full age in Whining
tsn, il is but proper to state that the Pat that
gives the most trouble to his wife and the police
officers, is the Pat of Browntown. His exploits
of the day previous were ful'y reported in yes
terdays COMMERCIAL, but when the time came
for removing Pat to Jail he demurred going in
any other way than in carriage. 1t not being
convenient to comply with his reauost, he was
handcuffed to the wrist of another prisoner
named Smith bound for the same institution,
and officer Stewart taking them in charge started
for the cars. Pat, in no amiable mood, threw
himself down on the pavement and refused to
bulge an inch. Smith not liking such a
strain upon his wrist and not wanting
to lie down, demonstrated and told
Pat that he was hurting his wrist. Finding his
pleadings of no avail, he turned and gave Pat
three or four we'll directed kicks in the side,
which straightened him up Immediately, with a
promise that he would go along quietly. After
some little trouble at the depot, Pat was finally
put on the cars and landed safely at Fort Lamb
