Text | [Unions of Morrisania vs. Irvingtons 7/2/1867] Not the slightest occurrence–with one exception–marred the harmony of the occasion, and the exception was the effort of a pickpocket to pursue his nefarious vocation–a sound thrashing first, and imprisonment afterward, being the result. If the fraternity would only make it a point of making ball matches too hot for these scoundrels, by giving each and all of them a sound thrashing whenever they attempt to practice their profession, they would stop the evil very soon; as pickpockets, indifferent to arrest as they be, don’t like rough handling by excited crowds. |
