BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
EDWARD FAIRFIELD to. ELIZA WALKER.

This was an action brought by the plaint iffagainst the ele-
fendant; damages 3,0001., for an alleged breach of promise
of marriage.
Mr. DANIEL stated the case to the Jury. The grounds
of the action were, a refusal to perform the contract of
marriage, in support of which a number of the lazy'i
letters were read, which had been addressed to the plod.
tiff. The defendant, a cousin of the plaintiff in the case
of Walker v. Walker, had been left a property, whit-h. as
it was contended by the plaintiff's Conns-d, entitl-4
plaintiff to compensatitin in damages. The principal do-
cument in support of his case was a letter front the d.--
fendant, dated 14th March, in which she prayed him to
think no more of her ; she had run from her lied in a dis-
tracted state of mind, and had only to make one request,
which was, to entreat a lock of his hair.
Mr. O'Connell, at great length, replied on behalf of
the defendant; anti, in allusion to the above letter, re-
marked, that in place of a lot•k of hair, he hail sent tier a
lather, dated the 13Th March. He further commented on
that document, and, in a most ludicrous strain, argued
that the plaintiff was not entitled to damages.
For half an hour before Mr. O'Connell had concluded,
the Jury appeared to have made up their minds. A non-
snit was returned. The Judge (Burton) on the issue
being handed up, directed the finding.

BiTTLI OP THE BOYNC-A communication having
been made by the Mayor of Cork to the Lotd Lientenant.
that the Common Council at a Meeting held nn the 24 h
ult. had been unanimously of opinion that the practice of
decorating the statue of the King there should ceale, his
Excellency has retnrned the following answer :

" I entirely approve of the prudent and discreet condoct
of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Cork, on
an occasion so interesting to the good order and peace of
that City.
" The principal obj”cts of his Majesty's Government are
the tranquillity and reciprocal good will of all his Majesty's
loyal subjects. Oa this foundation alone can the happiness
end prosperity of Ireland be established ; and it is truly :a.
tisractory to me to receive this testimony of so respectable
a body, in addition to the most judicious and laudahte con-
duct of their fellow-countrymen in the City of

'• Henry Bagwell, Esq. Mayor of C3rk."
The annual ceremony of ringing. the hells at Droglic,!a,
in commemoration of the Battle of the Boyne, is dispens-
ed with. On St. John's Eve, there was a sort of row in
Galway. The people it seems had prepared their anneal
bonfires, when Mr. Manna Blake, with his Constables,
stepped forward to prevent the conflagration. However,
come brickbats were thrown, and Mr. Blake called oat
the 3d Veteran Battalion, by whose assistance the bonfires
and the commotion were extinguished. A meeting of
Magistrates, eleven in number, assembled at Maglier s
on Tuesday se'nnight, for the purpose of invesigating
the circumstances of the fatal affray ; General Edgerton,
who commands the Northern District, was present, but
nothing definitive took place, it being deemed advisable
to adjourn till that day se'nnight.
