24 DECEMBER 1836, Page 6

There were some Orange disturbances in the Dublin Theatre on

Saturday, when Lord Mulgrave visited it ; but the loyal and Liberal portion of the audience overwhelmed the College boys and the " Re hellion Ruffians."

The Court of Exchequer, Dublin, was occupied on Saturday and Monday in hearing the case of Murray versus Bruen ; which was an action of assumpsit for work and labour done for the defendant. The damages were laid at 300/. Murray had acted as under-agent of Co- lonel Bruen on the lands of Ballyhackel, and be was also a tenant of Colonel Bruen; but he had not paid his rent for several years, and he conceived that his services as under-agent were a set-off against the rent. ,.1/ the general election for 1832, however, Murray refused to vote for .11i. Kavanagh ; and after some dispute, refused to vote at all; soon after which, he was served with an ejectment for arrears of rent, amounting to SO!. This he was obliged to pay, with costs; and he now brought his action for the services he rendered Colonel Bruen as under-agent. It was contended on behalf of Colonel Bruen, that the plaintiff was never employed by him in the capacity represented. The Jury re- turned a verdict for the plaintiff, .51/. damages, and costs. [Colonel Bruen, in the House of Commons, most positively denied the charge of using his influence as a landlord at elections unduly. But every now and then ugly facts come out against the Colonel.) The Rebellion Ruffians have practically acknowledged that they are driven out of the Exchequer. Upon Chancery Mr. William Smith would fix the dying hopes of the parsons. Through the columns of time Mail he points out various superior advantages which the Chan- cellor's Court bolds out in the matter ; advantages which be strangely overlooked when he got them into the meshes of thz Exchequer.— Dublin Correspondent of the Chronicle.
