Book excerpt: Excerpt from To the Honorable, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress Assembled: Petition of Major G. Tochman, Attorney and Counsel of the Next of Kin and Heirs at Law of Gen. Thadeus Kosciusko, December, 1847 Mr. Bradley, finding himself unable to meet the refutation, made, ' in open court - a violent rush at me, menacing and attempting to strike me, and insulting me in the most unbecom ing manner; which insult, offered to the court and to myself, from complacency towards Mr. Bradley, was entirely looked over by the court. One of the judges turned his face round and laughed; another said nothing, and the third, with much reluc tance, brought himself to utter simply the words it is very improper, Mr. Bradley, very improper indeed. After which be (mr. Bradley) made a sort of mock apology, and when, thereupon, i called upon the court to take notice of what he had done and said, Judge Morsel violently replied, Mr. Tech man, if you say a word more, I will order the marshall to take you out of the court. My self-respect directed me to leave the court immediately, which I accordingly did. I then took into my own hands the protection of my honor, Which no man should surrender to the keeping of the community in which he lives, when its authorities cannot, or refuse to protect him. This painful incident has been here alluded to, merely to show to your honorable body, how deeply has been affected by the interference of Mr. De Bodisco, Minister from Russia, with my professional pursuits, even my personal security, the enjoyment of which the constitution of these United States so solemnly secures to every citizen of this great republic. Many other incidents, perhaps graver than any of those already alluded to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
