DUBLIN, MARCH 20.—A case of the above nature
was tried at the Cork Assizes, before Mr. Justice Ball,
on Wednesday and Thursday last, which, of course,
excited no small share of interest in the locality. The
plaintiff was a young lady, aged 18 years, the daughter
of the Rev. Thomas Forrest, a beneficed clergyman of
the Established Church ; and the defendant, Captain
O'Brien, of the 72d Highlanders, which regiment was
stationed at Mitchelstown, in the county of Cork, last
autumn. An acquaintance sprung up between -the par-
ties, and, after a brief courtship, the Gallant Officer pro-
posed marriage, was at once accepted, and the day
all but fized for the nuptial ceremony. Subsequently,
however, the defendant, who has reached the ma-
ture age of forty years, slackened in his attentions,
and finally broke off on his corps being ordered
for foreign service. The main ground relied upon for
the defence was, that the evidence for the plaintiff,
documentary or otherwise, failed in furnishing positive
proof of an actual promise of marriage. Colonel Sir
Gaspard Le Marchant was examined with the view of
showing, from his military experience, that the pay of
a captain of infantry was of itself totally inadequate
to maintain a wife in respectability ; and, in answer
to a question by the plaintiff's counsel, as to whether
there was any additional accommodation provided for an
officer when he married and brought his wife home to
quarters, the witness replied in the negative, adding,
amidst shouts of laughter, that the. Commander-in-Chief
did not recognise the ladies at all. The jury, after
twenty minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, with 2501. damages and 6d. costs, the foreman
adding, that if there was any proof that the defendant
had any property beyond his pay, they would award
much larger damages.
