DUBLIN, JULY IS.
Tem 19.111 OF JULY IN ULSTBlL.—F.urther details of Orange rioting
and misconduct have reached us. The sorry rascals have sunk to that
degraded level where they can be quietly despised ; for they are happily
innoxious as they are ill-intentioned. Their w;-aLlic,s, how,ver, de-
pended upon the firmness al Government, at the ah clue of which they
would have been powerful for it-Ike/lief, which they dr, hlw,yi
and reedy. But to the details. In ItathfriEn.; a riot( Lis molt as-etni. d

complete and miserable failure.

CLONMEL—The return of Mr. Ball for Clonmel has naturally inough
produced an access of bile in the atrabi boils hireling of the miserable
Orangemen. The Mails acute sense of mortiticat'ou exhibits itself in
a long, whining, tedious tirade on the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ire.

ment by appointing Re officers to seats in Par Lament—that Clonmel
a rotten borough of the Church of Rome, and for her especial bettorif
her Majesty's Ministers obtain a factious majority in the House of
Commons, and retain their seats in office. We pity the Orangemen's
pat paper when we see it reduced to the necessity of printing such pra
posterous nonsense. The Mail realy should recollect that there is a
degree of mendacity which defeats the object for which the fabrication

was put forth.

RREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.-CHUBB V. FENWICK.

Mr. HUMFRgY stated the case. It was an action of breach
of proMise of marriage. The parties were in an humble situa.
tion of life, the plaintiff being servant to a respectable lady
living in the town, opposite the Goat Inn, where defendant had
lived as ostler. They became intimate, of which intimacy
plaintiff's n•i tress, a Mrs.. Adamt,, was fully aware, and his
courtship (for so it might be called) continued down to 1835,
the defendant promising to make her his wife. At the time
the acquaintance first began plaintiff was three or four and
twenty years of age, she was then seven or eight and twenty,
the def.mdant at the present moment being about three and
li:;rty or foity. The plantiif placing too great confidence
i., the premises of the def• ndant, unfortunately became the
mother of a child, born in 1835, and it was only because Fen-
a ick refused to do anything for the support of tie child that the
pre=cut action was brought.
Mr. WADDINGTON wished the statute of frauds bad been
extended to contracts of marriage, that it must be in writing ;
but the defendant could nut write, and the plaintiff, he sup-
p could not read It put him in mind of a song which
to would have bean glad to have sung to the Jury could be
have done it as well a; he heard his friend Sergeant Adams
do it the evening before ; but as he could not, I e would re-
cite a verse. It was a poor Tatlander in love, who, wanting
to communica'e with his lady, says—_
• 6. But when I sat down to indite 'em,
0 by Jasus I found it too bad;
For I could not come up to the writing,
And she couldn't read if I had."
The Learned Gentler:inn. concluded an eloquent speech by
trusting their verdict would be for the defendant.
Verdict for. the defendant.

ATTWOOD V. TAYLOR AND OTHERS.
Mr. Sergeant Wrenn said that this was an action brought to
recover the sum of 102,9094 of which 89,3751. is the amount
of eleven half-years' instalments of 8,1251. being interest on
the balance of the purchase-money of the Comgrave estate
and other property in the county, sold by the plaintiff to the
defendants, proprietors attd directors of the British Irish
Company, and 13,6141. interest on such interest. The de-
fendants had paid into Court 87,3121., 2,0631. less than the sum
claimed on the instalments, asserting that on the last 75,000 E
of the purekise-money they were to pay only four-and-a-half
lice eel• .t, • and which would account for the difference. The
questions for the Jury then were, was the plaintiff or were the
defendants right on the latter point, and was the plaintiff
or ,%,ts he not entitled to 13,6141. being interest on interest
c,,, the purehaie money. The Learned Sergeant detailed at
ri,nsi.ler,ble length to the Jury the circumstances under which
the e:trues in question had been bought in 1825, and the sub-
sequent edings in the Court of Exchequer, when Lord
Lyndhurst, in 1832, pronounced a judgment in favour of the
(2o npany, declaring the purchase to be void as having been
ii ought about by flaudulent misrepresentations on the part of
the plaintiff, and then explained to them that the said judg.
ment had been reversed with cos's on appeal to the House of
Loads, wit.ch last judgment was pronounced in March of the
I,resent year. The monies in dispute had accrued due be-
tween tie date of Lord I..yndburst.'s judgment and the present
time.

Aster lica,iog Counsel, the Jury consulted, and returned as
their verdict, that the plaintiff was not entitled to more than
sir; nlc interest.
A vcrlict wit entered for the plaintiff for the sum of 2,0631.,
with liberty t Sir William Follett to move to enter a verdict
for the defendant generally, if his construction of the agree-
ment mentioned should be supported, subject to tits question
by Air. Sergeant Wilde of whether the pleadings should
not have set out such defence.
