DUBLIN,

Mr. Justice BURTON sat again at Nizi Fetus yes.
terday, in the Court of King's Bench. A case which
excited a considerable degree of public interest wu
tried before his Lordship and a Special Jury. The
circumstances were these : Richatd Davis, a )(tun;
Gentleman of most respectable connections in din
• cotattry, enlisted as a common soldier si,nio years
ago, in consequence of diptites with his f.:nnly. He
married, and whilst he was doing duty in lanidonas
a private in the Guards, his wife was del. ver...d of a
daughter who was christened Theresa Davis. Some
time after the birth of this child, the fettle: W4S
at the battle of Waterloo, and in consequence of the
decease of some relations, the little Theic though
born under such adverse circumstances, became heir
at law to an estate of ltto thousand prowls clean
Her claim, however, was impeached by tl:c husbands
( and K )of her two aunts (the sisters of
her father), who al eged that she was a supposititious
child; and it was upon this issue that the trial iont
place yesterday. Several witnesses, who cam,: over
from England, were examined on behalf of the child,
and their testimony established her legitimacy in so
full and satisfactory a manner, that the Counsel oa
both sides agreed it was unnecessary to prolong the
investigation ; and the Jury returned a ver.nct—
• That Theresa Davis is the legitimate eaugl:ter of
Richard and Bridget Davis."
