O'Connor, in the year 1799, haring been obliged to leave Ireland and
confide the management of his property to some other person, for his
use, executed a power of attorney to his brother, Roger O'Connor, now
deceased, bearing date the Gth of August, 1802, whereby he gave him
complete dominion over his estates, and under which he entered into
receipt of the rents thereof and executed leases and made dispositions
thereof as he thought fit, and converted same to his own use. Roger
O'Connor, under this power of attorney, on the 9th of November, 1803,
sold certain estates belonging to the plaintiff to Thomas and John
Cuthb •rt, for 3,1501, and executed conveyances thereof, and received
the purchase money, which he converted to his own use. At the
time plaintiff was obliged to leave Ireland Roger O'Connor was in-
debted to him in a sum of 1,500/. (which was secured by a bond bear-
ing date the 21st of January, 1796), together with a large arrear of in.
terest thereon, and R. O'Connor obtained possession of that bond
with other papers, belonging to the plaintiff. The plaintiff, on the
Ist of December, 1806, removed Roger O'Connor from the agency
and management of his property in consequence of his refusing
to give an account of the sums received by him or to send him
remittances, and on the 233 of January, 1808, filed a bill against
him, by which he prayed that Roger O'Connor should account with
him, and pay over any sum that should be found to be due to
him. The defendant answered the bill, and after various proceed.
ings a decree was obtained therein referring it to the officer to
inquire and report what sum was due to the plaintiff. The Chief
Remembrancer made his report in pursuance of the decree,
and found that a sum of 9,866/. 6s. 4(1. was due to the plaintiff The
hill further charged that Roger O'Connor sold another part of' plain.
tiff's property to Alexander Deane, of the city of Cork, for a sum of
486/. 19s. 6d., which sum he likewise appropriated to his own use; it
also stated that he conveyed unto his daughter Wilhelmina O'Connor
the lands of Cumberville, and other lands, and that he did so for the
purpose of defeating., plaintiff's claims. The bill prayed that an account
might be taken of the sum due to plaintiff on foot of his claims, and
that the defendants might he directed to pay same.
The depositions ta:ven on the part of the plaintiff were read in cor.
roboration of the charges in the bill.
The defendant's counsel will be heard in reply, and judgment given
earl next week.

THEATRES.

ST. JAMES'S.

Last night an unusual entertainment took place at this theatre, com-
bining an instrumental concert, with a portion of its usual dramatic
bill of fare. The farmer is called a Concert ala Musard, after the ex-
ample of Musard in Paris. It would seem from the bills that Sig. Pilati,
who conducts these musical performances, has some share in the specu.
lation, as they (the bills) commence in this benignant style, " M. Pilati,
consulting the gratification of the public," &c. "ever anxious," like Day
and Martin, "has the pleasure to announce, &c." However this may
be, the idea is excellent, as the combined entertainment is infinitely
more attractive than the accustomed quartet of vaudeville and burletta,
which forms the staple of St. James's. The pit is boarded
over for the novelty, both to enable all persons from the
dress circle, who please, to promenade through the whole
area unoccupied by the musicians, and to accommodate the latter, who
to the amount of 50 (SO being announced) take up their station in the
centre of the pit. The stage is fitted up with scenery of a gorgeous
Egyptian hall, in the centre of which refreshments are laid out for all
who wish to purchase them. The concert on this occasion was very
good indeed.
The performances were all greatly applauded, and the quadrille

" Les Echos" was twice enchored—its peculiarity being that pretty
obligato passages in it for dinrent instruments were echoed by invisible
performers in different parts of the house. The attendance was full,
and there were many promenaders, amongst•whom were several ladies of
respectability.
