the English press. Having To appear for a
plaintiff, in Q case at Clonmel he let into
the defendant in unmeasured terms. The in
dividual inveighed against not being pres

Darlington, however, had got back to Dub
lin, the defendant, Tipperary man, named
Foley, lost no, time, in paying his compli-
night, and, covered with sleet, arrived be-
fore Barrington's residence in Harcourt
street, Dublin. Throwing the bride of his
smoking horse over the railing Of the arena,
he announced his arrival by a laundering
knock az the door. Barriugton's valet an
swered the summons, and, opening the
street door, bshsld the apparition Of the
rough coated Tipperary, with large stick
under bis arm, and the sleet sticking to his
bushy whisksrs. H tHa .ls

ltor, in voice that gave some intimation
OF the object of bis journey. s5a yv
" No. answered the man.
"Then give nv compliments, and say
Mr.. Foley-he'll know the name-will be
glad to see him." ~ -1
The valet went up stairs, and told his
master, who was in bed, the purport Of his

"Then don't let Mr.. Foley in for your
life" said Darlington, Z" for it is not a hare
nor a brace Of ducks he has come to pre-
sent me WITH"
The man was leaving the bedroom when
a rough, wet coat pushed by him, while a
thick voice said, :. By your iesye,n aud at

"You know nv business, sir.o said be to

pose to return until. have broken every
