Rs THE PUCIERRIDOR CHARITY.

The bill was dismissed.
COURT OF COMMON, PLEAS, DECEMBER to.
Lord Chief Justice Barr, on entering the Court, ad•
dressed the Jury on a complaint they had made to bins
that streams of wet, from the condensed heat, fell on
their box. He regretted that he could not remove the
inconveniences of the Court; but said, if they were not
removed, anothir place must be found, for it would be
impossible to sit here long.
Mr. Serjeant PALL observed, that great liberality had
been :hewn in the erection of the Court, and the best
improvement would be the introduction of a fire.
Lord Mid Justice Berry.—Yes, certainly, vest liberality hay
been shewn ; but it is impossible to bear half that passes; and re.dly,
to build a Cosa in which people are to sit during winter without
a stove to warm it, is quite new. We really must Sald some odor
accommodation.—Mr. Montague. the architect, afterwards came
into Court, and bad a private conference with his Lordship.

/RAMAN V. PRIV&
This was an action to recover 404 for the relinquish-
ment, by Mr. Seaman, of a bargain he had made with
a person named Emmanuel, for the purchase of three
freehold houses at Horton, at the price of 6001. in the
defendant's favour. It was proved that an agreettiesic
bad beau made between Mr. Seaman and Mr. Emma-
nuel, for the conveyance of the houses, but which had
not been reduced into writing. By a memorandum,
dated the Bth of April last; Mr. Price agreed to Five
401. for the bargain ; and a conveyance had cone•
quently been esecutetlf not to himself, but to Mr. VI ice,
by his desire.
Mr. Serjeast. Pear., for Mr. Price, offered no defence
on the merits ; but submitted that the action could not
be sustained in point of law—first, because the original
agreement between Mr. Emanuel and Mr. Seaman WAS

tad under .the stattitt of frauds, ind consecoently
formed no 'consideration for the contract ; and secondly,
because the conveyance was made, not to Mr. Price
himself, as alleged in the declaration, but to his nominee.
Lord Chief Justice BEST overruled both objections.
He held the case sufficiently taken out of the statute of
frauds by the note in writing, in which the bargain was
recited, and by the subsequent execution of the convey-
ance ; and considered the allegation as to the conveyance
immaterial, since the bargain was relinquished in Mr.
Price's favour. He would, however, give leave to the
defendant to move for a nonsuit, in case he should—be
ini,taken.—The Jury then found a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages, 401.
THE COMMON PLIAS. BAR.

In the course of a cause (of no interest worthy of
Icing reported),
Mr. Serjeant YELL complained of interruption in his
argument by the private observations of a Learned
Counsel near him, who was engaged on the other side.
It was impossible to proceed while subject to interruption
Mr. Serjeant VAuuHar.—My Lord, t\)r my part, I must say,
that I have not uttered one word in the case. I don't know to
whom the observation of my brother Pell is addressed, but I dis-
claim its application to myself.
Mr. Serjeant Pat.—Then, since I must name the quarter from
whence the interruption came, I will do so. It was from my much
respected friend here (placing his hand on the robe of a Learned
Counsel who sat behind Serjeant Vaughan).
The Loss Cans Jessica (addressing himself to the bar).—Upon
my word, Gentlemen, I with you would all go into the Court of
King's Bench for one week.
Mr. Serjeant Pau--My Lord, with great respect, I beg to dis-
claim any imputation of irregularity on my part, and I submit that
it might not to be made.
It may be right to state here, that the interruption complained
of proceeded from a Gentleman whose chief practice is in the Court
of King's Bench.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, DECEMBER 7,
BREACH OF PROMISE OF SETTLEMENT.
The CHIEF Jusrics having, shortly after ten o'clock,
taken his sear on the bench, and a special Jury, sworn
the day before, having resumed their seats in the box,
the adjourned case of 44 Maddock v. Elizabeth Nolan
and John Mahon, executors of the late James O'Flana-
gait," was called on. This action was to recover the
sum of 2,0001. Ste. from the defendants, as representa-
tives of the late Mr. O'Flanagan, which sum it was al-
leged he had promised should be settled on his grand-
niece, the daughter of a Mrs. Cocking, shouldthe former
be married to the plaintiff. The marriage did take place.
The plaintiff rested his case, which was stated by. Mr. Ser-
jeant Goold on Monday, principally on a letter from
Mr. O'Flanagan to Mrs. Cocking, in answer to a letter
or letters of her's, dated from Bath, the 16th of January,
1815, stating that the plaintiff had paid his addresses to
her daughter, praising him in strong terms, and request-
ing his assistance to consummate the snitch between
the plaintiff and her daughter. It appeared that Mrs.
Cocking on that occasion entreated her uncle, Mr.
O'Flanagan, to write her a letter expressive of his ac-
quiescence in her wishes, stating the fortune her
daughter was to expect from him, and respecting other
things which she pointed out; which letter was shewn
to the plaintiff, as he had previously inquired from her
(Mrs. Cocking) as to hex daughter's expectations from
her family, Ike.
Mr. O'Conneta., for the defendants, animadverted
with considerable severity on Mrs. Cocking's letter or
letters. They were a combination of mantling senti-
ment, wild affectation, and meanness. Oh ! if she
could accomplish her views respecting her dear Mary
Anne, she would think of nothing after but her GOD 1
She would not indulge herself with a drop of wine—he
(the plaintiff ), she said, would bring her daughter to
Dublin Castle. He was " a sweet young," " a good
young man," charming young—she represented him as
possessing property ; also, that be was of the first
fashion"—his father of great respectability in London ;
and he, too, a near relative of " a Nobleman's wife in
Bith, a Lady Itoung"—(Learghter). This was all done
(said Mr. O'Connell) to flatter the prejudices and the
Connaught pride of the old Milesian, Mr. O'Flanagan ;
and she stated, amongst other things, in a letter to Mrs.
Nolan, beginning with " My beloved Sister—These
Englishmen are odd people; they wish to think the
Ladies love them—(Larechter); and she, after all these
expressions, asks this 0 Flanagan, living in the wilds
of Connaught, to write to her in " the loving, kind,
2nd elegant manner he used always to do 1" Mr.
O'Connell, after commenting for a length of time
on these epistles, stated, that they contained gross misre-
presentations in various respects. The marriage between
the plaintiff and Miss Cocking took place on the 7th
of March, at the house of Colonel Nelly, at Bath.—
Colonel Nelly received a letter from Mr. O'Flanagan
on the sth of Nlarch, dated the 27th of February, beg-
ging of him (Colonel Nelly) to look into the plaintiff's
circumstances, and if they were not better than he (the
plaintiff) had represented them, he would wash his
bands out of the business. Colonel Nelly !moved that
he communicated the contents of this letter to the plain-'
tiff, on the morning of the marriage; he, however, added,
that had the match been then broken off, the young
Lady's character would have been destroyed. She
could not live in Bath, nor come to her native country
without the finger of scorn being pointed at her, for the
marriage bans had been previously published, and he'
(the plaintiff) had even lived in the same hotel with
Miss Cocking and her mother, as a person that was
soon to be the former's husband. Mr. O'Connell, how-
ever, urged, that even if the first letter contained any
contract, the subsequent one to Colonel Nelly before
the marriage was a retractation.
About five o'clock the Jury retired, and, after a few
loinutes' absence, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff,
of 2,4801. (including interest), and 6d. costs.
Mr. O'CoNtrau,, stated a number of objections against
lie Learned Judge's charge, which, with his Lord hip's
permission, he would reserve for a case, and place on
the rev•rd. His Lordship assented.
