letters erposea to public view, she caught hold of them, and
thrust them into her pocket ; upon which the defendant thrust
his hand into the Lady's pocket, and seized the letters. These
documents disclosed the real nature of Mrs. Dabinea connec-
tion with the:plaintiff, and gave him a clue to his real cha-
racter and circumstances. Mrs. Dabine's effects netted more
than sufficient to pay the wholerent due to the defendant, in-
cluding the expences of the sale, and deducting the three weeks
rent, which had net =cued at the time of the distress. An
action had been brought against-the defendant at the last Sum-
mer Assizes for this county, for the illegality of this distress,
on which occasion she 'recovered :against the defendant 1001.
damages. After this transaction the defendant wrote the4etters
which were the subjects of this action, one of which was ad-
. dressed to the plaintiff's brother, Captain Andrews, of the
12th Lancers, then in Ireland, and the other to Col. llrothor-
ton, the Commander of that Regiment, both dated July 30,
1821. The first letter was in the following terms:--
`• 52, high-street, July 30, 1321.
Stn—l addressed you a few weeks back, to which I have
had no answer. You must he a fool if you thought I would
not address the corps as gentlemen before I addressed the Lords
of the Admiralty. Your conduct convinces me what I ant to
expect:in your brother, the swindler, of Fanny Clarkson. Yon,
I suppose, or he are not cowards, and why not come forward
from your lurking places as men of honour, and acknowledge
your conduct, and pay for your support as men suul gentlemen .
in life. Should you answer this, I will give you a meeting, or
your brother Edward as a gentleman at any moment. Your
corps must despise you unless you do this, or settle matters ho-,'
nourably with me. T will address the Colonel of the City Dublin
Regiment, to which I ant a Surgeon, unless you act the part of
a Gentleman, and have an explanation with your brother, or
give me the meeting one Gentleman gives another on such
occasions. I have the honour &e.
" P. CONALY, Surgeon."

" My Paymaster resides 7, lurk-gate,street, Dublin, Ire-
land."
Addressed—" Capt. Andrews, to the personel care of the
Officer commanding 12th Lancers, from P. Conolly, Esq.,
Dublin, Ireland."

The Other letter was in the following; terms :
" Sir—l have not the honour •of knowing you, consequently
have many apologies to offer for this letter. I a few days back
addressed a letter to Capt. Andrews, of. your corps, to which,
agreeably to the conduct of his • • • • brother (Lieutenant
Edward Andrews) 1 have had no answer. My feeling for a
Gentleman was such, that I expected he would have advised his
brother to come forward from his lurking place, crc I laid be-
fore the Lords of the Admiralty conduct that would make the
character of a gentleman ever at an end in his family, if he is
any. He (Lieut. Edward) came to Brighton, in :third), 1828,
and he personated Lieut. Thomas Dabine for a notorious

bine is now at Bray, within nine miles of Dublin. and I aril
the Assistant-Surgeon of that corps, and will follow the
Captain and his brother Edward with about 1,000 letters, or
make them act as men of honour, which, as yet, I do novthink
they are. I consider the Captain a disgrace to the 12th Dra-
goons for not answering the letter of an Officer. .1 trust you
will have a regimental meeting for the purpose; askmy brother
Officers, Col. Sankey, R.D.AI. Paymaster Alontgomery, within
a few yards (of No. 7, Parkgate-street, Dublin), you will find
act so. Your Captahi would nut wish a horsewhipping on
the parade, therefore I write this that he may know how to act.

Royal, Dublin City Regmient."
