did you think you had when you saw it ?— The devil. — 1 believe you had. been talking about him ?—Maybe I wor. But were you? —I wor. (Laughter.) What put him into your head that you were talking about him ?— Faith, I can't tell yon. But what sort of a thing was it ? —My God, sir, his neck was as far as from this over to that (pointing to the jury-box, which was about fifteen feet distant.) (Roars of laughter.) Had he anything on his neck ?—Oh, faith he had a lump up on his back ever so big, and be had long legs, and eyes, and a mouth. Do you see anything in con£7 that you could compare him to? — F l' '■ then, I don't, lam sure. When he came in tbe door I would have given all the world to get him out of my sight. Did you get up off the chair ?—No, I did not; a better man than me could not do it. Did you attempt to shove him OHt ?—I did not try to shove him out. I did nothing at all to him, for I was afraid of my life of him ; if you had bayonets you could not do anything at all to him. I was not able to work for four days, for I got a pain in my heart.

Mrs. Desmond, the plaintiff's wife, described the position of her husband sitting at the door. She added—All at once I heard him giving a bitter screech oat of him. I looked down and I saw tho animal " blow " with his neck stretched in as far as he could. " Pray to the Almighty God," says I, " for it's nothing good. Pray to the Lord to ' resave ' our so wis," and then I fell in a faint. (Loud laughter.)

Did you ever see the like before?—Oh, wisha, I didn't, sir. The boys about the plaoo took the thing away afterwards.

Cross-examined by Mr. O'Connell—What is that you were talking about when the oamel came to the door ?—My husband was blaming me for being out too long, and he was talking about ghosts and tho devil. When I looked out and saw the animal, says I, " It is the devil that is there now, surely." (Loud laughter.)

Mr. Hayes —That is the defence on the other side, sir—that it was the devil who was there.

Mr. Gregg—Did your husband say to you, "The devil take you?" Witness—He did sir.

Mr. O'Connell—ls he in the habit of talking about him ?—Well, he is, sir ; he is too often in his mouth, as I told him before this. (Laughter.) Don't you think it was a just judgment on him that the devil should make his appearance to see after him under those circumstances ?—Wisha, 1 suppose so, sir ; he was after calling on him too often, and it was serving him right. Has he been talking about the devil since ?—lndeed no, sir. (Laughter).

Mr. Julian—Mr. Batty has a claim for the reformation of her husband. (Laughter.)

His Worship considered that the plaintiff was injured On the oocasion, and gave a decree or £3.
