BREACH OF PROMISE AGAINST A LADY.

IN the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, on Monday, in the case of William Lander v. Petronella Hallberg, Sergeant Armstrong applied to have the trial postponed. The action was for breach of promise. The plaintiff is a Deputy-Lieutenant for County Roscommon, and seek's to recover ten thousand pounds from the defendant, who married a gentleman property in County Leitrim. She is now resident with her husband in Florence, and the reason urged for a postponement was that she was in an interesting condition. Counsel for plaintiff opposed the motion, saying that nothing was disclosed in the affidavits to show that the defendant would be endangered by travelling, besides, she had not made any affidavit herself. The motion was refused with costs, but the case allowed to stand for a fortnight.

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.

AT the meeting of the Nenagh Board of Guardians last week, an able-bodied young woman applied for admission to the workhouse. The master stated that the applicant had been taken out of the house three months ago by a farmer, who had agreed to keep her in his service for twelve months. In reply to the chairman the applicant stated that the trade she was put to by her master was to "steal her neighbour's turf and strip their fences, in order to provide fuel for her master"--(loud laughter)--" and her conscience would not allow her to remain any longer at such a trade." (Renewed laughter). The chairman said that no person in his senses would believe such an extraordinary story, and the applicant was accordingly refused admission and ordered to return to her service, and if her master again put her to steal turf she was advised by the chairman to make the fact known to the nearest magistrate.

YOUNG LADY BURIED ALIVE.

A Very painful affair has been brought to light in Montreal--namely, the discovery of a young carried lady having 'been buried while in a trance. Apparently ill for two days, she was at the end of that time pronounced dead, and three days afterwards her funeral took place. After reaching the cemetery, the coffin was placed in the receiving vault or morgue, where a particular friend of the deceased from a distance, who only then arrived, expressed a wish to take a final look on the face of the deceased. The request was granted, the lid unscrewed, when to the horror of all the corpse was seen lying on its side, the head twisted round, the grave clothes disarranged, and the features contorted, bearing unmistakable evidence of a terrible struggle for breath, death eventually resulting from suffocation. It is supposed that the trance was broken through the jolting of the hearse while on the road to the cemetery, though, of course, only to smother the unfortunate being in the coffin. The whole circumstance has caused great consternation in the community.--Correspondent of Scotsman.

MELANCHOLY OCCURENCE AT SEA.--A FAMILY POISONED.

IN an action, at the instance of a seaman, heard at the Greenock Sheriff Court on Wednesday, a melancholy case was narrated. Captain James Parsons, of the barque Nevada, of London, which has arrived at Greenock from Australia, stated that during the voyage he and his family had been wilfully poisoned. A half-caste West Indian was employed on board as cook and steward, and seems to have taken some unaccountable umbrage at the master. He is supposed to have obtained possession of a quantity of arsenic or other poison, and to have used it in an attempt to destroy the life of the master and those with him in the cabin. After he had partaken of a quantity of gruel one day, Captain Parsons became violently ill, and for a time he was affected immediately after food. The captain's wife and two of her children were on board., and they also became ill and exhibited symptoms of poisoning. Mrs. Parsons died after an illness of two days. On arrival at a port in Java medical assistance was obtained, and the Government doctor gave it as his opinion that the captain and his family had been poisoned. The steward was called to account for his crime, but there being no sufficient evidence against him he was allowed to go.

THE STRAIN WILL CASE
Dublin, Friday.

The hearing of the case of Kelly v. Armstrong was resumed in the Probate Court, Dublin, to-day, before Judge Warren.

Mr. Robert Kelly, solicitor, one of the plaintiffs, was examined, and deposed to the earlier stages of his aquaintanceship with the deceased, Thomas Strain, and related all the circumstances of the relationship as stated by Mr. Falkiner, Q.C., in his opening statement the previous day. With respect to the marriage of the deceased with Elizabeth Gibson, or Keenan, he said that, previous to that, she had always acted as servant, but afterwards her position was changed. She sat at table, and otherwise took part in the household, but still continued to cook and do other offices, although there was another domestic in the house. The witness was then taken seriatim through the circumstances connected with the preparation of the various wills. In making a calculation for the purposes of the first will of the 12th April, 1856, he estimated the amount of cash which the deceased had at command, in deposits and otherwise, at £19,500. On the 10th May, 1856, he received a note from deceased asking him to come to Newtownards, as he wanted to make some alterations in his will. He went down on the 15th May, and received instructions. On the 21st May a letter reached him, the body of which was in the handwriting of the deceased, but the directions in that of Mr. Parr, manager of the Belfast branch of the Northern Bank. It instructed him to make his nephews, John and George, equal legatees under the will. He did so, and the instrument was executed on the 10th June, 1856, the witnesses being Mr. Parr, and Dr. Henry MacCormac, of Belfast. The will devised to witness the townland of Ballyrickard, which he had purchased in the Landed Estates Court. By the fourth will, of the 16th March 1866, he added to this devise the townland of Ballyhenry, which lay beside it. Witness never suggested that the devises should be made to him. On the 23rd May, 1868, the will of 1865 was altered, the residue being left to Dr. John Armstrong for life only, as the latter was drinking and not getting on well. On the 7th October a new will was made, leaving £2,500 to each of Dr. Armstrong's daughters, and reducing the annuity to George Armstrong from £100 to £75, and leaving the residue and remainder to witness. The last will was made on the 11th March, 1874.

In cross-examination by Mr. MACDONOUGH, witness said he never asked Mr. Strain to give him any benefit under the will. In the draft of the first will there was a bequest of £3,000 to him.

On your oath, was not the alteration of your legacy from £200 to £300, and was not the cipher added after this ? I wont swear that.

Will you swear it was or not ? I won't swear anything about it. It is here £3,000.

Judge WARREN--Do you understand the question, Mr. Kelly, and the answer you gave. You are asked was not the bequest of £200 changed to £300 first ?

Witness--I won't swear about it. Whatever alterations were made were made by the testator's instructions.

Mr. MACDONOUGH--Where did the £3,000 come from? I really don't know. I cannot explain that further than what I said. When were you desired to alter the £200 to £3,000? Between the 20th of March and the execution of the will. In the will of 1871 he was made residuary legatee. He did not ask the testator to do that. He could not tell how the testator announced to him that he would make him residuary legatee, but he instructed him to do so. He could not say that the testator expressed himself anxious for the welfare of the Armstrong children. By the will of 1871 the legacies to the children were payable at the age of 25, or before if they married to the satisfaction of the executors. The reason for that was that old Strain was afraid they might marry badly and lose the money. Mr. Taylor, one of the executors named in the present will, refused to act. At the first he consented, but subsequently withdrew. He never said to him (plaintiff) that the will was an improper one. Plaintiff was examined as to his connection with the will of Mr. Delacherois, of Donaghadee, under which he took a legacy of £3,000 and the residue. He gave up the bequest, but not the residue. He remembered preparing a will for Mrs. Beattie, of Belfast; he could not say what he gave himself or his son in that will. Messrs. Seeds, of Belfast, prepared another will in that case.

Mr. MACDONOUGH proposed to interrogate the plaintiff as to the circumstances of Mrs. Beattie's will.

Mr. FALKINER, Q.C., objected, and his lordship ruled in favour of the objection. After a brief re-examination of the plaintiff, the further hearing of the case was adjourned till next morning.

SATURDAY.

The case of Kelly v. Armstrong has been adjourned to the 14th January, in consequence of the indisposition of one of the jurors.

THE JOY STREET OUTRAGE--CONFESSION OF M'DADE
EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.

The public are likely soon to hear the last of the Joy Street outrage and the Sligo murder for some time. On Wednesday the informations were completed, so far as the Belfast evidence is concerned against the prisoner M'Dade for the murder of Edward Ferguson in Sligo. That evidence disclosed a case which only awaits the formal identification of the articles stolen from the murdered man's house by Sligo witnesses to render it almost as strong as ever, was present in a court of justice. On Friday Edward Orme, Esq., R.M., and J. C. O'Donnell, Esq., R.M., commenced the investigation of the charge against the same prisoner and Brown, in connection with the Joy Street outrage. During the examination Mr. Norton, a scene of a strange and almost dramatic character took place. Having described what took place on the night of the occurrence, the witness was asked by Mr. O'Donnell if he could identify the person who had assaulted him. Norton gazed steadily at M'Dade, who with the other prisoner Brown was present in custody. M'Dade, evidently becoming impatient under the scrutiny, said sharply, "You are looking at me long enough.--Can't you say whether you know me or not?" The witness said he could not swear to the man M'Dade. "Well you may swear, I am the man that did the mischief. I now plead guilty to the charge -- this man (Brown) is innocent. He was not there, but he knew I was going to do it." Mrs. Norton positively identified M'Dade as the person who assaulted her. Mr. Keatley, pawnbroker, identified him as the person who pawned Norton's coat with him. Mr. Carswell one of the directors of the Discount Company, identified Brown as the person who came into the office between six and seven o'clock on the evening of the outrage, making some inquiries about a loan. We may explain that it is believed M'Dade entered the house, and went up stairs while Brown was occupying the attention of the person's in the office till he got concealed. This view was confirmed by the fact that about the same time Mrs. Norton heard the glass door opening and some one on the stairs. She asked who was there and got no answer. She believed however, it was either her husband or one of the directors. The prisoner, Alexander was discharged, and taken as a witness. He proved that a few days before the outrage he saw Brown cut wards out of a number of keys, and he saw the "jemmy" found in witness's house in the possession of M'Dade.

SUPPOSED LOSS OF A GLASGOW SHIP AND 26 LIVES.

THE ship Pontiac, of Glasgow, 1,050 tons, belonging to Mr. A. Thomson, has been posted at Lloyd's as missing, and in a few days insurance will be paid on her as lost. The Pontiac sailed from Sunderland for Bombay with a cargo of coal in the beginning of April, and was spoken off the Isle of Wight on the 11th of that month, but has not since been heard of. She was a wooden ship, built at St. John, New Brunswick, by Sorely in 1865, and was surveyed at Shields before sailing. It is feared she has shared the fate which has recently befallen many other coal laden wooden ships, and has been burned, and thereafter sunk. She was commanded by Captain Boyle, and had a crew of about 25 men, who have all, it is believed, gone down with her.
