At the Cork Assizes, yesterday, a breach of promise case was tried, in which the plaintiff, an interesting young lady, named Miss Rowley, obtained a verdict of \u00a3100 damages. Plaintiff was daughter of a head constable of police, now deceased, who had been in a comfortable position. The defendant was Mr. John Perrott, partner in the firm of Messrs. Perrott of Hive Ironworks. The courtship commenced in 1870, and lasted for three years, during which the defendant proposed and was accepted. In 1873 defendant suddenly broke of the engagement, alleging that he was not in a fit condition of health to get married. For the defence there was no denial of the promise but medical evidence was produced as to the defendant\u2019s incapacity to get married.<\/span><\/p>\n Morning Herald (London) – 5 July 1853<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n The COLLECTION of PICTURES, Plate, China, Glass, and Effects of the late Edward Parratt, Esq.

Give and take was the order of the day till within twenty seconds of the end of the first round, when the Leeds had drove his left hard into Parrott\u2019s ribs, and the latter fell like a log, and was counted out ten seconds from the end of the first three minutes.
