Mr. Chatterton, Q.C. with whom was Mr. Exham, moved on behalf of the defendant that the venue in the case might be changed from Dublin to Cork. The action was brought to recover damages for alleged wrongful dismissal by the defendant, who is a clothier and merchant tailor in Cork, of the plaintiff, from his employment as foreman tailor. The plaintiff as a ground for opposing the motion, stated that several witnesses of his resided in Dublin, amongst whom he mentioned the names of the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Keogh, and several others, for whom he had cut and made clothes.
