(BEFORE BARON PENNEFATHER.) CORK COUNTY RECORD COURT, FRIDAY.—ELIZABETH DUNLEVIE v. ST. GEORGE RYDER BARRY.—Mr. Cop pinger opened the pleadings. This was an action of assumpsit for a breach of promise of marriage. The declaration contained four counts, varying the time of the promise. The damages were laid at £3,000 and the defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. Woulfe, K. C., stated the case at considerable length, nearly as it appeared afterwards in proof. His client was the daughter of a respectable clergyman of the Established Church, who had died and left a widow with three daughters and one son, with very little means of support, barely enough to make respectable appearances. The defendant was son of a Clergyman, a Lieutenant on half-pay of the 12th Lancers. The intimacy between plaintitnand defendant commenced in 1826. He con cluded his statement by saying that the defendant im peached the plaintiff in an anonymous letter with carrying on a correspondence with a person of the name of O'Keefe, and by means 'of this most consummate treachery sought to terrify her from proceeding in the present action. The letter, and he would read it for the jury, ran thus : DEAR MISS DUNLEVIE.-It has come to Mr. Barry's ears that you have had a habit of writing notes to a man named O'Keeffe, in Patrick-street, or as we call him, Budgy O'Keefe' (laughter in Court.) Mr_ Barry was so grieved at hearing it, that he took to his bed for a couple of days. • • " Your sincere friend,—." .That letter was put in the Cork Post-office last Novem ber, and it was written for the vile purpose of attempting to def.& this young woman from bringing her action. He (Mr. NV.) would not longer detain the jury ; they would deal with the case as men of feelink, and as men of conscience—as. fathers, husbands, and brothers ; he committed it, to them with confidence, and with co n fid ence he lookecito the result of their judgment. George Dunlevie, brother to the plaintiff, was the son of the Rev. Mr. Dunlevie, Rector of Kilmore, who died in 1821. He knew the defendant, who was a Lieutenant on half-pay of the 12th Lancers. In 1826, two of his sisters, Elizabeth, (the plaintiff;) and Diana, went on a visit to the glebe of the defendant's father, the Rev. Mr. Barry, Rathclaren, where they remained for near five months. When his sisters returned from this visit, Elizabeth made a communication to him which induced him to write to Mr. Barry, and subsequently to seek an interview with him. At this interview Barry admitted that Miss E. Dunlevie - and he were engaged to each other, and that he had proposed marriage to her. He then asked him ( witness) what :fortune his sister would have, which he, (witness) declined answering until he had communicated with his mother, in whose hands solely it was. He saw his mother accordingly, and commu nicated the result of his interview to Mr. Barry by letter. Subsequently to this, he saw Mr. Barry with his sister Elizabeth sometimes ; and Mr. :Barry's father having died in 1830, he saw him on the parade, and asked him respecting his intentions to his sister, and whether he had received his letter. This was after the illness of his sister. On that occasion the defendant entered into a long explanation—saying that his mother was old and infirm, and that he could not marry until she was settled. This would not satisfy the witness, as, he observed Mr. Barry had an opportunity of declaring off after the ill ness of Miss Donlevie, in consequence of the letter she had.then written hiM, and that he required some more definite answer. Defendant then said he wanted to see his sister, which interview he had subsequently. The illness which his sister had had in 1829, was a brain fever. It occurred immediately after her leaving Kinsale. Cross-examined.--He could not tell the exact number of his family without considerable hesitation. He had a sister in London, a Mrs. Miller ; London was a wicked place, yet still his sister, Mrs. Miller, lived there. He would not "cut" her if he saw her—on - the contrary, he would speak to her and say, " how'dye do, Mrs. Miller," but'that was all. He had, he believed, four or five sisters. Mrs. Miller was first; Elizabeth next—(she was then about thirty-three years of age); Diana was next; Anne was next; Mrs. Ponsonby next, and so on.. Anne had been in a very bad state of health ; had:been out of her mind ; and once walked out of a window. He (witness) was married; but his family never visited his wife. He was a member of the Trades' Political Union in Dublin, and also a Volunteer—(laughter) and he it was who took the chair very often, and whose name was in the news paper. He was also, besides all these, a law student, (laughter). He thought the Arena a good training place for a young orator and an Irish politician, though he was free to admit it was not the best for the bar (laughter.) Diana Dunlevie, a pretty, little, clever looking young lady. Was sister to the plaintiff, and had been with her on a visit to Rathclaren, the glebe oc Mr. Barry's father. in 1826, for five or six months; on that occasion Mr, Barry, the defendant, had paid her sister more attention than he did any other lady ; subsequently to their leav ing Rathclaren they went to Kinsale, and thence to Cork, where her sister was taken ill ; during her illness, the defendant came inquiring after her every day; after her sister's recovery she went on a visit to the county of Waterford, and when she returned, in about a mortth, she and witness met Mr. Barry on the Parade one after noon • • Mr. Barry came up to them and asked her sister should they be friends ? and her sister said, "Are you going to be married to. Maria S—." He answered, " No—what the devil business would I have of her ?" (loud laughter.) She then consented to be in friends with him, and he made her a present of a very handsome work-box. He proposed to meet her next day, and she consented. Subsequently to this, in 1832, witness met Mr: Barry- again in Patrick-street; this was after his father's death, On that occasion he said to her that he had got a letter from his sister respecting the amount of her fortune. ThiS letter he shewed her ; but it was not her sister's hand-writing, but his own. He then said he wished to see her sister; and he saw her accordingly, and shewed her the letter, but she could not read it, he kept her so muchnccupied in answering him. On that occasion, also, he said that he was ready and willing to • fulfil his engagement if what was said in that letter res pecting fortune was fulfilled. In it the fortune was sta ted to be eight hundred pounds. He also observed that he could not have the least animosity to her, if she got 41,000 damages against him ; and her sister said, " You should not, because you know I deserve it." It was on that occasion likewise he said "how d'ye do, Bessy ?" (langhter)—and asked " what sort of a name is that your attorney has got?"—" Collins" (laughter.) "`Timothy :Collins !—how shocked and suprised I was to see Timo thy Collins at the bottom of a letter about you." (Re newed laughter.) " Why have not you as grand an at torney as I have ? Mr. Exham. that lives on the South mall, and keeps his own carriage, is my man." (Shouts of laughter.) He then said something about the fortune, and her sister said she would inquire of her mamma. She did so, and mamma told her £5OO with an insurance on her life. "Oh," said he, " that won't do. have nothing to do with insurances—mamma might bury. my self." (Roars of laughter.) He then went off, shaking hands with her at the door. Cross-examined.—She did not know Budgy O'Keeffe, (laughter.) George Ponsonby.—Was brother-in-law to the plain tiff: It was always known and understood that she was engaged to the defendant. He (Mr. P.) had observed him to be particularly marked in his attention to her. During the period of Miss Dunlevie's illness in 1829, the defendant, Mr. 8., had met him (witness) and asked him in the most anxious manner, about. his Bessy. When he learned from him that she was very ill, he appeared very uneasy, and requested him (witness) to ascertain at that moment the actual state of her health. This be did. Subsequently, while she continued ill, he called every day at the door, or sent a messenger to inquire after her health. In 1831, witness, finding that Mr. B. by the death of his father was left at perfect liberty, waited on him in Cove at his house, and stated the object of his visit to be a desire to have a definite answer respect ing his intentions towards the plaintiff, his sister-in-law. Defendant said he,never would marry her. He (witness) said that was a most extraordinary proceeding and a most extraordinary answer. Defendant again repeated that Pe would not marry her; and witness then asked him what had induced him to come to that conclusion ? "Sir" said he, "my family have advised me not to marry her in consequence of the illness she had in 1829, for they 'don't conceive she is a person I ought to marry, or any man ought to marry. "I," continued the witness, then said, " Sir, you must be prepared to take the conse quences ; and he answered at once, "what consequences ? If you come here with any hostile views I will meet you •at mice." Witness declined that mode of settling the .matter; and having come to Cork, placed the affair in .the hands of his attorney for the plaintiff'. The witness ibelieved the anonymous letter about "Budgy O'Keetfe" 'to be in the hand writing, though disguised, of the de fendant ; he had no doubt whatever on the subject. In his cross-examination, he admitted that he never saw Mr. Barry write; but that his judgment was formed ,from the letters which he had occasionally received from him for Miss Dunlevie. Sir Emanuel Moore, Bart., first stipulating for his ex penses, was then examined.—He knew the families of both parties to have been most intimate ; he knew also the hand-writing of Mr. Barry, and he thought the letter of Budgy o:Keeffe bore a great resemblance to it; in deed if he had received it in the ordinary course of busi ness, he would have considered it as his hand-writing. Cross-examined.—He had had a confidential conver sation with Mr. Barry a short time before concerning the plaintiff's family. The worthy baronet detailed it as follows have a sister who is a very religious woman,. and who lives on the Glanmire road, I often borrowed money from her (laughter, arising from the naivete with which the worthy gentleman related the latter circum stance)—and she often lent it to me. The Dunlevies— Mrs. D. and her daughters—lived near her. My sister, whenever I was• in her house, used often to press me to prayers after dinner (great laughter). One day I asked her for the loan of a lttle money—(laughter)—and she said to me, "Manny, I'll give it to you if you stay away from the Dunlevies, and come to prayers with me" (roars of laughter..) The learned Counsel 'put a number of other questions to the witness, until at last he brought to his recollection a communication he had made to the defendant about something that had occurred six or seven years ago. It was about a scene in a bed-room. I was, continued the embarrassed Baronet, with a friend in a house on the Dvke at supper—(he re h e twisted his hat with great rapidity)—at supper—at supper—(laughter) —and my friend got tipsey—and he made me get tipsey —(repeated bursts of laughter)—and here is all I have to say on the subject. When we were going into bed, some lady came into the room to assist my friend in—in —in—(repeated peals of laughter, in which the court most heartily joined.) The worthy Baronet forgot to finish, if lie ever designed to do so, his sentence. He was very tipsy, he said, at the time, and—(when the uproarious merriment had ceased)—he was very tipsey ; and the lady came in from the kindest motive in the world at the time (renewed laughter.) That lady was Mrs. Dunlevie ; she walked into the bed-room ; my friend had not the use of his legs—(roars of laughter)—. there was another female with her at the time, and she took away the lights. All that was at Mrs. Nash's. Henry Uvedale was called to prove that the billet about Kudgy O'Keefe was put into the Post-office in November, 1832. The Rev. Thomas Forrest.—Was a friend of the de fendant, and' had gone in 1832 to Mrs. Dunlevie at his request, and empowered by him to treat about the for tune of the plaintiff. He was authorised by him to say, that he was ready and willing to fulfil his engagement to her if the fortune was forthcoming. Mrs. Dunlevie agreed, and wished to explain the nature of the fortune. But he referred her to his friend, the defendant's solicitor, Mr. Exham, as he (witness) was neither a lawyer, or an attorney. He went only as a.peacemaker. Messrs. Collins and Coppinger, attorneys-at-law, were next examined. The letters (seventeen in number) which passed between defendant and plaintiff were • then put in—they contained nothing save an occasional "Dear Bessy and Dear Ducky ;" and now and again a signa ture of " Ducky St. George Barry." One said, he (the defendant) retained the same affection for her (the plain tiff) still. Another, that he'd ever remember the happy days he had spent with her; a third, that he would re turn her letters if she chose, and a fourth, that he never thought she would cause him so much uneasiness. They were all as frigid as possible; and certainly greatly dis appointed the crowd of scandal-mongers and scandal lovers, of all ranks and ages, who crowded the court in every quarter. The case here closed for the plaintiff, and . Mr. G. Bennett, before he proceeded to address the jury, called on his Lordship for a non-suit, on the ground that there was no general promise proved against his client, the defendant. All the proof which appeared went to show that the promises made , were conditional, and none of them general. Mr. Bennett addressed the jury for the defendant at some length, contending that there was no proof of a general promise to marry—that if there were a promise, it was only on condition that the defendant should get a fortune of £BOO at his father's death with the plaintiff, which, though offered, was not secured, and With Out which defendant would not be able to . support a wife in the rank in which he was desirous-she should move. He disclaimed and denied, in the most public manner, that the letter which had been ascribed to his client was writ ten by him. If they did not take this view of the case, and if they thought the plaintiff entitled to a verdict they would have to consider what damages the defendant could afford to pay out of his half-pay and the interest of £4OO which had been left him. Baron Pennefather charged the jury at great length. The jury should be satisfied, should be satisfied in order to brim: , in a verdict for the plaintiff, that the defendant not onq made her a promise of marriage, in pa r ti cu l ar , but that . he made her a general promise. He (Baron Pennefather) bad been called on by defendant's Counsel to grant a non -suit, on the ground that no such general promise existed or was proved—but he then thought the case warranted him in sending it before a jury, and he had heard nothing since to-induee him to alter that opi nion. If the promise, as was alleged by the defendant, was conditional, that a fortune should be given with the plaintiff, then, in case you find that proven, you must give a verdict against her; but it was for the jury to ex amine whether this contract existed prior to the wrilten release made by plaintiff to the defendant in 1826, sase quent to her illness ; and whether, if it did, it was .the same which was understood on the renewal of their ac quaintance and at an after period. The Learned Baron then recapitulated the evidence minutely, and-dii@oted, • when he had done, the jury to retire. 1 The jury, after 15 minutes' deliberation, returned with a verdict for the plaintiff-1' SLAVE TRADE.—The brig Idris, just arrived from Liverpool, fell in with his Majesty's brig Victor, off Tobago. The Victor had captured, two days before, a Spanish vessel, bound for Cuba from the coast of Africa, with 526 'slaves on board, and had received information of two other ships which were to fol low in the same trade. It appears that the vessels employed in this abominable traffic have lately steered their course so far to the northward as Tobago, thence to the Spanish Main, along the coast of which they run (in order to avoid the British cruisers,) and watch a favourable opportunity to stretch across for Cuba. We have good reasons for believing that the trade is now carried on to A greater extent than ever.— Trinidad Gazette. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A most distressing instance of the melancholy consequences of intoxication took place at Rushulme, near this town, on Sunday last, by which the life of an honest industrious man, named James Fletcher, has been placed in jeopardy, and a most respectable surgeon has nar rowly escaped being brought before a jury of his countrymen, on the serious charge of having deprived a fellow-creature of his existence. The facts of the case, as they were detailed to the magistrates on Monday last, are as follow :—About nine o'clock on Sunday evening, Mr. John Gamon, a surgeon, residing in Jackson's-lane, Hulme, called at the Horse and Jockey public house in Rushulme, in a state of intoxication, and requested the landlord to send for a coach to convey him home. A so ciable, kept by some person in the village, was accordingly sent for, but the messenger returned to say that it was engaged. Meanwhile Mr. Gamon had exhibited such evident symptoms of incapacity to take care of himself, that the landlord thought it most advisable to send to the house of a relation of Mr. Ga mon's, at a short distance from the Horse and Jockey, to inti mate the condition that he was in. During the absence of this messenger, Mr. Gamon walked into the tap-room, where seve ral persons were sitting, and exhibited to the company a hand ful of sovereigns, saying that he had plenty of money about him, but it should not cost him more than a shilling or sixpence to go home. Some of the company offered to go home with him to protect him, but he refused their offer, and, pulling a pistol from his pocket, said that that would protect him. He was then asked whether the pistol was loaded, to which he replied that it was, both with ball and slugs, and he could hit', a mark yet, drunk as he was. After making this foolish boast, he pointed the pistol towards the fire-place, and almost instantly it went off, the ball striking James Fletcher, who sat by the fire dozing, in the back, just below the right shoulder. The wounded man immediately sprang from his seat, and fell on the floor, and he was shortly afterwards conveyed to his own house, and surgical assistance procured for him. Mr. Gamon appeared to be per fectly unconscious of the melancholy catastrophe, and when asked whether he knew that he had shot a man, he simply eja culated, " Have I? I did not mean to hit him," or words to that effect. Constables were then sent for to take Mr. Gamon into custody, but before this could be effected a most desperate struggle took place, and such was the violence be exhibited, that they were obliged to secure his legs, and carry him to the', hackney-coach in which he was conveyed to the New Bailey. When brought before the magistrates on Monday, Mr. Gamon appeared to be fully sinsiffle of the dangerous situation in which he stood, but declared that he had no recollection of what had occurred on the previous night. Mr. 011ier, the surgeon who had attended the wounded man, stated that he had probed the wound, but had not been able to extract the ball, and he could not say that Fletcher was out of danger. The friends of Mr. Gamon who were in attendance applied to have him liberated on bail, but, after the evidence of the surgeon, the magistrates did not feel justified in granting the application, and he was re manded. On Thursday he was again brought up, when Mr. Oilier stated that he considered Fletcher to'be out of danger; Mr. Gamon was consequently liberated on entering into his own recognizance in twenty pounds, and two sureties in ten pounds each, to answer any charge of assault that may be pre ferred against him. The wounded man is a blacksmith, and has a large family; and it is not a little singular that three of his brothers have been accidentally killed,—one by the firing of a small cannon on the sth of November last, another in a fight at Heaton Norris, and the third while riding a race at Cross street, near Stretford.—Manchester Courier. PUBLIC MEETING AT BAKEWELL. A public meeting was held at Bakewell, on Monday, the 18th instant, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to devise some means by which the working population of Great Britain may be provided with more uniform employment, and with more money for their work, when the following petition was agreed to : " To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. " We,‘the undersigned inhabitants of Bakewell and its neigh bourhood, hail with gladness the introduction into your honour able house of many members practically acquainted with the distressed condition of the working population of these reahns, and the kindly feeling expressed in b e half of th e suff e ring ped ple has excited our grateful regard: impressed with like sym pathy, and animated by a spirit of loyalty and love to our King and country, we humbly beseech you diligently to search out the cause of that distress, with a view to its speedy and perma nent removal. And whereas we are informed that the rich ca pitalists of the metropolis complain of much inconvenience from money being too abundant in relation to good bills of exchange and similar securities bearing interest; whilst the working peo ple before alluded to are experiencing extreme distress from its being too scarce in relation to their labour ; we therefore be seech your honourable house to investigate the state of the cur rency, and to devise some means whereby the circulating me dium of the nation may be rendered more active, so as to re lieve both the rich and the poor from their respective embarrass ments, and thus promote the general welfare of the whole poli tical body. " But if, unhappily, your honourable house cannot in its wis dom devise means by which our working . people may enjoy an adequate share of the fruits of their own industry, we hope that your honourable house will at least be pleased to repeal all those taxes which press more particularly upon the working and middle classes of socisty, and especially the taxes on malt, hogs, and soap.
