BREACH OF PROMISE ACTION.
A breach of promise action will probably bo heard shortly in Dublin in which a parrot will figure prominently. An elderly professional gentleman, engaged to a pretty young lady in her teens, was visiting her father and knocked at the study door. A parrot he hud presented to the young lady shrieked out ” Come in ! come in ” and on suddenly entering tho room he found his tinanede, seated on the soR with a young man uncoiling his arm from her waist, the parrot meanwhile imitating the sound of kissing and concluding with mocking laughter. The marriage was broken oil' and an action for breach of promise raised. The defendant pleads justification.
