dressed to the Mayor and Common Council,
invoking protcc ton to the friends of Temperance

This is truly an extraordinary petition, and yet 1t
scts forth facts and circumstances which seem to
render the interference OF our city authorities abb
soIuiely necessary. 1t appears, that at a recent
meeting held by enc Of the Washingtonan So
cicies in the vicinity Of Catharine street Market,

with his father in the business Of selling rum and
other poisons, with number of others, violently
assaulted lIr. LEWIS BECK, the President of the

caused severe personal injury.
