On Saturday, an action brought by the noted Mr. Samuel
Gray or Ballibay, against the unlucky Mr. Barrett, editor of the Dublin Pilot, for a libel, was tried in the Irish Court of Queen's. Bench. Mr. Gray had been described in the Pilot, as a " whiskyfied beer-can, a pewter-pot roysterer, and a bayonet-and-bludgeon firebrand." The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with 1001. damages and Eid. costs.
