BREACH- OF PROMISE OP MAnarAGE.--The Court of
Queen's Bench in Dublin was crowded to excess by the
fair sex on Tuesday last to hear the trial of an action for
a breach of promise of marriage, brought by Mr. John
Whitty, LL.D., C.E., against Miss Egerton Warburton.
An application for a delay of half-an-hour was made on
the part of the plaintiff by Mr. Rollestone, Q.C., vvha
stated that the case having been fixed for the following
morning, counsel would require that time to read over
portions of their briefs. At the end of the time mentioned
Dir. al`Donough, Q.C., announced, on the part of the
plaintiff, that the record was withdrawn. The statement
that the case was withdrawn caused much disappointment
among the ladies that crowded the court. The fair
defendant is very highly connected.
