THE WINDHAM CASE. The proceedings in this case were resumed yes terday morning, in the Court of Exchequer, West ininster,before S. Warren, Esq., the Masterin Lu nacy, and a special jury. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Field, and Mr. H. Williams appeared for the petitioners ; Sir H. Cairns, Q.C., Mr. Karslake, Q.C., and Mr. Milward for the alleged lunatic ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., for Mrs. lVindham ; and Mr. C. Russell for Lady So- Pb:ast Giubelei, the mother of the alleged lunatic. The court was again greatly crowded. - Sir H. Cairns resumed his address. He said he took the liberty yesterday of reading some letters which were written by Mr. Windham in 1860 on a certain matter, but since then he had obtained a few more by accident from Mr. Windham's mother, -who was now lying on a bed of sickness, and, he was afraid, of death. The learned counsel then read the following letters, one of them being to tell his mother that he had kept faith to the promise he had given to her, that he would not go on the ice, although that was the only amusement he could then take : " Eton, Sunday. "My dear Mama,—l am very glad to hear you have written. I thought you would have done so before now, though I do not wish to break my promise ; yet it is very hard to find anything to do, in fact there is nothing now, and 'he ice is so thick. Now, Mr. Younge took some Boys to skate the other day for , and would have taken tne, only the promise prevented him. But still I don't wish to break my promise ; only, as I say, there is nothing else to do. My Cold is better, and so is my Eye. Have you got Don down there with you yet, or not. Will you write and answer me soon; there is very nearly a Fair on the Thames; there are quantities of people everywhere; you can skate from Kingston to London on the Thames ; so hard is the frost that I have my sponge and water frozen this morning in my room, though I had a fire. Five weeks more and I shall be at Torquay, I hope well and sound. Mr. Younge will write to-morrow, or the next day, as I am writing to you to-night. I have been vacinated, but it did not take. My cold is better. Good bye, Dear Mama. I must finish now. " Believe me, your affectionate Son, " W. F. WINDHAM. " Eton, Sunday, 18th. (OW It was a dream in his (Sir H. Cairns) mind that he heard his learned friend (Mr. Chambers) say in his opening address that Mr. Windham while a boy displayed the instincts of a lower animal ; but he really thought he had heard such words. Here was another letter, which, he thought, would be a sufficient answer to such a gross and wilful mis statement, and formed a striking contrast to the remarks which were made by Mr. M. Chambers in his opening address, in which he said that Mr. Windham had not the slightest idea of the value of money, and to entrust him with the disposal of it would amount to nothing but a positive act of folly. "Rimpton, Friday, 23. My dear Mama,—l am very sorry for not having 'written before, but I have so much to do that I have hardly any time for doing anything. May Mr. Hawtry advance me some money, about £3, of my next allowance, as I paid several bills myself, and so I have none left; will you write and let me know soon, please ? I wrote to ask you because I thought it was best to do so, as I did not know whether you had told him to give any be,ides my allowance. I should like a little present of £4, because it is such a temptation to run into debt if one has no money to pay, as well as to borrow of the other fellows, and as I want things now and then ; besides there is my drawing lesson, which cost Gd. every time, as I must put up at the hotel, and so it becomes rather expensive I can assure you ; because it is only a guinea and a half if I go there to the man, as it is a public class, bat there is only one other person besides myself yet, but if he come here he would charge a great deal more. Dutchman comes very useful for me to ride on tvery Wednesday to Sherborne, for my lesson ; in fact I do not know what I should do without him, as it is a good five miles from here. I have made my money last as long as ever I could, and spent my last two shillings to get a ticket for the Lecture, which we all went to the other evening. Thackeray was the man—the celebrated man—who went to America ; ono heard a great deal about him in the papers, so if you will write soon and give me leave to ask Mr. llawiry for £4, or half of it, and I will be very much obliged. I should like to have had the little present of money which you were unable to give me; I wish you could do it, because I am sure I do not ask without reason ; that is I like to have money in my pocket. I keep out of debt. "Good bye, dear Mama, trusting you are well, and also that you will let me have what I ask for, "believe me yr. affect. Son, GLEEKS." " P.S. When will you come to Itimpton. Gloria deo in excelsiB. " I'.S. I think I shall be home about the 30th or 31st of March. " try and learn Euclid, so as to be able to do it with me during my Easter Holydays." The learned counsel then read the following letter : " Eton, Sunday. " My Dear Mama,—Saturday the 31st is the day, at 4 o'clock, if all goes right. I shall see Odee Tam. I want to give two leaving books, if I may, of a guinea each. Will you give me leave ? Mr. Younge will give me an Order. Will you write me an answer, please, as soon as possible, Because I have chosen them ? Mr, Younge is making me get up my collections. May I rile lion up to the House ? Wont he jump when I sees the Train come in. I wish you would let me have one of the retrievers up. I want to make them accustomed to me. I should like Duchess. I think the rea on Goldford would not give me leave was because he thought, so many others would ask for it also. I dont think they would, because they would not know any thing about it. " Mr. Younge hopes you have received his Letter. Good bye, Dear Mama. I hope I shall see you better when I come on Saturday,—Believe me, evr yr affecte Son, "Eton, Sunday 25th. " W. F. WINDHAM. " Please answer me immediately about the Books." " Tuesday, Dec. 2. " My dear Uncle A lfred,—Excuse my writing and trou bling you again for advice, but I have received a letter from my Uncle Charles, who wants an answer, and I want your advice, because be now says he does not want to send Jeffy away, but to let her live there without any pay, and to give Nary Turner a place under her, and when I receive your answer, one from Marna will do, I shall write to Uncle Charles. Now, the Ist question is, will Jcffy stay at Fel brigg without wages or not, and if she will, what place can we give Mary Turner under her who has only been a Lady's Maid. The only plan I can think of is that Woods should leave Mama, because she has not lived in the Family pxcept with Mama, and let Mary Turner come and live with Mama as her Maid. Give my best love to Grandpapa and tuna. I enclose the letter of my Uncle Charles to me for you to look at, and when I get your answer shall write to him about it. Gcod bye, dear Uncle Alfred. Trusting this will trouble you much, believe me " Yr Affect Nephew, " W. F. Wimmum." He would have laid those letters yesterday before the jury, had they been in his possession, in the proper order of dates ; but as they had since come to his hands, he thought them of sufficient import ance to warrant him in reading them, although not in proper order. lie would now resume his address, and before he parted with the evidence of the Llewellyns, he wished to point out the discrepancies w'aich were to be found in their evidence, although Ito doubt the story to be told had been previously concocted betweem them as to what they were to say that should the best tell against Mr. Windham. One of the discrepancies was, Mrs. Llewellyn said she swore her affidavit when alone, while Mr. Llewellyn said they swore them together. There were otter discrepancies on minor points, which, although unimportant in themselves, went a good way to test the accuracy of their statements. There was no doubt that they were anxious to assist the case of the petitioners, and it was suggested that they should take the opinion of Dr. Winslow, who also, in turn, recommended that they should also consult others who had peculiar notions on the un soundness of the mind. Bat their over anxiety to support the cause which they espoused was fatal to the object intended, for a person who really did not know the difference between truth and falsehood was just as likely to speak the truth as to say that which was false, so that, in that case, what became of their theory that he never on any occasion spoke the truth. This assertion, he undertook to say, was nothing but a deliberate falsehood, and there was not the slightest shadow of truth in it. Then Mr. Llewellyn said that he was in the habit of supplying Mr. Windham with a single bottle of wine at wholesale price, although it it might be a question between him and the autho rities at Somerset House, with which they had then nothing to do. Then, in his affidavit to the Lords Justices, Mr. Llewellyn said he was in the habit of putting Mr. Windham into the bath just as if he was a child, whereas, in his evidence, he made no such statement, but that he merely stood at the bath door, and gave him towels, and his clothes when he required them. Then he said Mr. Windham had been under a delusion that he had lost something which he had not absolutely lost. That was the statement of Mr. Llewellyn in his affidavits to the Lords Justices ; but what was his evidence in the Court ? Why, not that he was under any delusion as to his loss, but that he rarely went out without losing some article of jewellery, and amongst the artieles he lost one which belonged to Mr. Llewellyn himself.• Then what became - of the statements he had made to the Lords Justices, that he was under a delusion that he had lost something which he had not absolutely lost. Then Mr. Llewellyn said that they were obliged to put Mr. Windham into a back room, so that he should not by his noise disturb the persons who were in the other part of the house. Why the fact was, that there was not a bedroom in the front of the house, and during the whole time he was there Mr. Windham changed his room but cnce, and that was by a previous arrangement. Mrs. Llewellyn, seeing the effect of this evidence, endeavoured to explain it by saying that they put him into the back dining room. A statement hadibeen made that Mr. Wind ham had often ordered dinner for a number of per sons and that no person came. Mrs. Llewellyn said that they made a certain charge for these dinners, and they made use of the provisions in the house, whereas Mr. Llewellyn said that no charge was made for it, and there was no trace of any charge being made for it in the book which had been pro duced, which showed the greatest contradiction in their evidence, which was not to be relied on, and was utterly unworthy of belief. The brother and sister of Mrs. Llewellyn would be called, and if the evidence they s hould give should prove to be untrue, neither side was to be held responsible for it, as they had not been sought, but volun teered the evidence they would give, and whether it was true or not, it formed no part of Mr. Wind ham's case. He found that Colonel Broughton had often dined with Mr. Windham, and had gone in a cab on a pilgrimage with Mrs. Llewellyn to seek for evidence of a peculiar nature, but Colonel Broughton having been so engaged, it was strange that he did not come into court and tell them a little more of what he knew. He (Sir H. Cairns) could not account for it, unless, like General Wind ham, he considered "discretion the better part of valour," and deemed an appearance in the witness box a place quite as dangerous as other places which were more exposed. The learned counsel then re ferred to the evidence of Mr. Atkin, the bootmaker, of the Opera Colonade, in which he said that when Mr. Windham ordered a pair of boots he ordered two pairs of trees, and on that account he presumed *at such was to be a continuous order, and that for every pair of boots he was to make two pairs of boot-trees, and as he made twenty pairs of boots for him, that, had he acted according to his order, he should have made him forty pairs of boot-trees. Now, he said that the words used by Mr. Windham would bear no such interpretation as to lead him to suppose that for every pair of boots he made him he was to make him two pairs of trees. When Mr. Windham ordered his first pair of boots he ordered two pairs of boot-trees, as he wished to have them treed properly; but as to sending two pairs of trees with every pair of boots was a thing which could only have existed in the mind of Mr. Atkin. In his affidavit to the Lords Justices, he said that he considered Mr. Windham to be a dangerous lunatic, and not fit to be at large; while in his evidence in the court he made this observation—" I wish it to be distinctly understood that when Mr. Wind ham presented the pistol to me I only looked upon it as a joke." Thus, he gave up all he had said in his affidavit about Mr. Windham being a dan gerous lunatic ; and had he stated in his affidavit what he had said in giving his evidence before that Court, the Lords Justices would never have con sented to the issuing of this commission. In refer ence ;to the cutting of the timber on the Felbrigg estate, Mr. Butcher, who had been called by the petitioners, had given evidence that £2,800 worth of oak timber could be cut on the estate with ad vantage, He then adverted to the evidence of Mr. Hansel!, as to the visit of himself, Mr. Jackson, and General Windham to Felbrigg Hall on the day before Mr. Windham came of age, when a proposi tion was made to him that he should give up his in terest in Felbrigg Hall, living there at a nominal rent until October, 1869, and have in lieu of it a partition of the devised estates, and the rents ac cruing, instead of holding property which was then unproductive. Nov, it could be very well expected that Mr. Windham did not see the advantage of this proposition; and they had the opinion of Mr. Haneell that he firmly believed that Mr. Windham did not understand the proposition. But Dr. Forbes Winslow, in speaking to Mr. Windham on the sub ject, said he told him General Windham wanted him to place his property in trust, paying a nomi nal rent for Felbrigg Hall until 1869, and then to come into possession of the whole, but that he had refused it because he believed that it was to benefit General Windham and his family. Now, no lawyer in England could have given a better description of the proposal. Mr. Hansel! said that they could not make him understand it, and could make nothinc , of it. Upon this the acute London lawy er t o ld the others to quit the room, and " leave him to me," but after being alone with him for a time in the library, he came out and said he could make nothing of him. Then as to the cutting down of the timber on the es tate Mr. Windham had clearly an object in his own mind, which he afterwards carried out ; and the opinion of Mr. Jackson as to the cutting down of the timber was the weakest part of the ease, as he did not see that it was for the purposcof increasing his income, but to benefit Gen, Windham and his family. Then Gem Windham said he was prepared to make any sacrifice to preserve the property — that being to obtain possession of Felbrigg Hall. Had the proposition been acceded to and signed, which conveyed Felbrigg Halt to General Wind ham, ho would ask the jury, did they suppose for a moment that they would ever have heard of these proceedings ; and had they been instituted, would they then not have had Gene.Windliern, instead of skulking by the side of his counsel, rushing into the witness-box, with others flocking after him, t 3 declare that they had walked and talked with Mr. Windham, t at he was oue of the cleverest young men, and that there was no foundation whatever for the imputation that there was any unsoundness of mind. (Applause in court, which was suppressed by the Master.) Now, as to the marriage, when Mr. Windham made the acquaintance with this woman ; she was then in the keeping of a gentle man, having an income of £2,000 a-year. Mr. Windham fell over head and ears in love with her, and wished to marry her, but she appeared to have no desire to comply with his request. It was a matter of negotiation for some time, and the gentle man consented to give up any claim he might have upon her, and she was tempted to fall in with Mr. Windham's wishes by his offers of a settlement and the advantages she would have as a married lady to introduce her sisters into society. She consulted Mr. May, who gave them both good advice, and re minded Mr. Windham that she was a woman of ex pensive habits and not likely to contribute to his happiness. The lady at first desired a settlement of £l,OOO a-year, but Mr. Windham declined, because he could not afford it, and at last agreed, if she took a smaller settlement at first, to secure to her a larger annuity when he came into tho pos session of his other property. The terms were agreed upon, and the marriage settlement was pre pared. No doubt such a marriage was to be re gretted, as it was distasteful to society ; but would anybody venture to say that this amounted to an indication of insanity, or was anything more than an exhibition of bad taste. It was fixed by Mr. Llewellyn that on the 28th of July he should tele graph to Mr. Windham to come up to town on the subject of the marriage, and the guardians knew all about it, and yet neither did General Windham, Mr. Hook, or Mr. Chappell think it worth their while to interfere and endeavour to prevent him from tak ing that step or to apply to the Court of Chancery, of which Mr. Windham was then a ward. If they had had any proper feelings they would not only have done this, but they would have gone to Miss Willoughby before she sacrificed the good position she was then in, and cautioned her against contract ing a marriage with Mr. Windham, as he had not capacity to enter into the marriage state; but they did nothing of the kind. Why was it that they had done nothing upon it P At this time the negotiations were going on with General Windham in the lib rary as to the " little arrangement," but which could not have been carried out if there had been enter tained the least notion of Mr. Windham's insanity. Was it not evident, then, that such a notion never entered the mind of General Windham and his friends until he had been foiled in this " little ar rangement," by means of which he sought to get the interest in Felbrigg transferred from Mr. Wind ham to himself. The learned counsel then referred to the evidence of Mr. Illingworth, who had seen Mr, Windham before he went to Scotland, when he I told him he must take great care of himself and be very quiet. He also told him that if he did not be lieve him he had better hear what Mr. Johnson, another surgeon, had to say about him. He stated that Miss Willoughby had called upon him ; and although he (Sir H. Cairns) said to his learned friend that he was at liberty to ask what passed be tween them, yet he had not asked a single question about it. As to the state of health of Mr. Wind ham, he should prove by the evidence of Dr. Whit burn, who was present at the marriage, that he examined him, and there was no impediment to that marriage taking place. He now came to the question of the jewellery obtained from Mr. Emanuel, and in doing so he would divide that into two parts. Was the first part of it an unusual amount to be presented to a lady on her marriage by the heir to a very large property, as there were no family jewels ? Here they had the case of a lady who had no particular desire to give up the position she occupied, and therefore had to be courted to consent to the marriage. As to those given after marriage, they were given for the object stated by Dr. Winslow and Dr, Mayo; and he thought that there ought to have been sufficient charity on the part of the members of his family to allow that these jewels might have been fairly given as a compensation for the injury he had committed undesignedly, without being accused of insanity. He had done an injury, and he wished to make an atonement in the way in which he deemed would be the most acceptable, which showed a good dis position to atone for the wrong he had done. Mr. Dore, the salesman of Mr. Emanuel, said that he wanted Mr. Windham to give bills for the jewel lery at six months, but Mr, Windham suggested that they should be for twelve months, and some of them were altered accordingly, showing consider able shrewdness and perception in business, and by no h m im er a s s a h g a r v e i e n d g with Mr. Chambers's description of animals. Wh en Mr. Wtihnedhianmst i camenet s o of t a h g e e l t o h w e r e e r was only £BOO left for him, and, being without money, there were only three courses open to him to increase his income. One course was to sell a part of the estate; the second was to borrow money on mortgage; and the third was to sell the timber on the estate. Now, it was said that the effect of the contract would b e t o strip te whole of the timber from the e s t a t e; b ut th e contract only spe cified that Messrs. F r y and Lawrence cut the timber whi c h m i g ht b e cut, and there only perfec r t n l araen not the most remot e id ea o f cutt i ng cta}liae ornamental was e . timber, and Generalffi n dh am was are it. i a Th s e Then o . a s to the Butcher price o a f t t d h em r.Sandford , he 7 1 f :d a w a pu questions uest,n the average price of all th e ti m b er on the estate,tot I taking the good with the bad, An d th ey eaid they i had not made any calculation of it. Ho did not complain of that, but it was quite evident if there had been any unfairness in the terms of the con tract, there would have been numerous witnesses to come forward and state it. The contract was submitted to General Windham, he was perfectly well aware of the terms of it, and yet he had taken w referencewitness s t o b it, and to b be he examinedh a had not upon dared it,to n eo o me as Messrs. Lawrence and Fry were willing , if the stepsin into the £l,OOO which they had advanced upon it were re turned to them, to give up the contract, and that General Windham knew perfectly well. Then as to Mr. Roberts being the purchaser of the timber in stead of Messrs. Lawrence and Fry, it had nothing to do with the matter, except that he would of course have the commission actually given to a gen tleman who recommended purchasers to the vendor. After the marriage, when Mr. Buck was sent for to Felbrigg, he said he attended to Mr. Windham, but that a day afterwards he received a letter from Mr. Windham stating that his wife wished him to be attended by her own doctor, who was then in the house. There was nothing singular that she should desire her own medical attendant to see him instead of an obscure Cromer practitioner. Having alluded to the fracas at the Euston Hotel, and the story of a man being knocked about, with his eye hanging down his cheek, and the row between Mr. Bury Hutchinson and Dr. Neal, and General Windham being sent for to bail Mr. Neal out of the police-court, he had no explanation to offer about it, as Mr. Windham had nothing to do with it. Having reviewed the evidence of some of the policemen as to the statement of Mr. Windham that his wife had run away from him, and had taken property to the value of £30,000 with her, but the same witness admitted that he had, in his affidavit, stated that he said £13,000, and there fore that showed his evidence was not to be relied on. As to the evidence of the railway guard that Mr. Windham had requested him to lock Mr. Roberts and his wife in the railway carriage whilst travelling in a night train, that suggested that it was only done to prevent persons from going in and making matters uncomfortable, and also that they might not see the occupation he had taken upon himself in assisting the engine -driver; and there was no evidence at that time that Mr. Windham knew that any intimacy had existed between his wife and Mr. Roberts; and although they after wards had a quarrel, and Roberts, in a fit of anger, told him he had slept with his wife before marriage, Mr. Windham treated it as an idle boast, and never regarded it in any other light. With respect to his assuming the uniform of a railway guard, that was adopted with no other motive than the passengers might not be surprised by seeing a person in the costume of a gentleman thus engaged. He now came to the evidence of the medical men, Drs. Winslow and Mayo, and characterised their mode of testing Mr. Windham as something very near akin fo the torture and rack of the Inquisition, and yet not one of them—neither Dr. Mayo, Dr. Southey, nor Dr. Winslow—hail ventured to say that from the interviews alone he could be able to come to the conclusion that Mr. Windham was of unsound mind. When on the subject of his wife having lived with other men before her marriage, he said he was aware of it, but he made this rational answer—" I do not see why that should make any difference, as many members of distinguished families have with impu nity done the same." Dr. Winslow had said there was nothing unnatural in a man marrying a woman who had been kept by another man, and as it was said that Mr. Windham had married a woman who had lived with her paramour up to the day of her marriage, that this was a thing that showed un soundness of mind in Mr. Windhaw, now he (Sir H. Cairns) should like to know from 1)r. Winslow what period of time and what sort of quarantine should take place between the discontinuance of one event and the commencement of another. As to Dr. Mayo, he was the champion of moral insanity, having written a book on that theory, but it was a theory which had been repudiated by the bench and all the great lawyers of the country, and if they once admitted the theory of morsi insanity there would be an end of all our laws. Many of the advo cates of moral insanity in former times went so far as to say that Howard, the great philanthropist, was insane because he ill treated his son and also his wife. In the case of Earl Ferran, who was tried in the last century for the murder of his steward, it was attempted to set up the theory of moral insa nity, but Sir C. Yorke, the then Attorney-General, completely dissipated, in some eloquent observa tions, the idea of such a theory being entertained. The same views were taken by Sir Herbert Jenner Fast in the case of Freer and Eton, and reported in Roberts's I cclesiastical Reports. The President of the College of Physicians, in giving his evidence on the unsoundness of mind of Mr. Windham, said he formed his conclusions on what he had heard in the course of the evidence and from his own personal observations, but, on being pressed by Mr. Kars lake, if he might find in that evidence things which bore upon Mr. Windham and some which were against him, would it not be better to put them apart from each other? but Dr. Mayo said he could not take them that way—he must take them together. He would, in the evidence which he should produce in the course of the case, not overload it, or imitate his learned friend ; but would bring for ward important matters in which Mr. Windham had been engaged, and the evidence of medical men of the highest eminence. His learned friend said Mr. Windham was an unfortunate man who was the subject of such proceedings. He was an unfortunate man, to be exposed to such proceedings on the part of his family ; he was unfortunate, in being exposed for so many days to public gaze; he was an unfortu nate, in the expense of this inquiry, which he would have to incur. The learned gentleman, in conclusion, said—l have now nearly brought my address to a close ; but I must ask you, ere I con clude, whether you have ever thought of the ex pense of these proceedings, instituted against Mr. Windham, by those who professed to be his friends, and especially by the one who has boasted of his readiness to make any sacrifice on his behalf ? Sup posing you come to the conclusion that this young man is, after all, of sound mind, what compensation can be made to him, not merely for the expense which has been brought about by these " kind friends" of his, but for the pecuniary loss whieh he will have incurred from these proceedings ? My learned friend spoke of my client as an unfortunate young man, and he is indeed unfortunate. Faster youths in excess, in riot, and in debauchery, have purchased, by the expenditure of health and for tune, a conviction of their folly, and have settled down into active and useful, if not brilliant, members of society. Other men had had youth ful vices and immoralities, over which the kindly hands of friends and relations have tenderly and gently drawn the veil of concealment and oblivion ; hut Mr. Windham has been received on his en trance into public life by a panoramic display, unfolded by his relatives to the public gaze, not of the general events of his career, but of such isolated acts as ingenuity-or verversion could twist into the appearance of all that was hideous and obscene. And what is the object of all this—what is the rea son for it ? Simply because the young man is heir to a eonsiderable property, and an illustrious name —who from his boyhood has always been treated by all about him as capable of clearly understand ing all that was said to him—with whom his rola • fives had bargained and negotiated on a footing of complete equality—who had been allowed by them to go out into the world, to enter into contracts, and amongst them the most momentous contract of life —but whom they now seek to get adjudged incapable of taking care of himself or his property, because they themselves desire to be authorised t..) administer his estate. In one of the books he used to read at Eton there is a story of an ancient tyrant, who, for his own diversion, devised the novel tor ture of chaining a living man to a lifeless body, leaving the living to die and both to rot together. Mortua quip etiam jungebat corpora vivis. Componens manibusque manus, atque oribus ora. Tormenti genus! et sanie taboque fluentes Complexu in misero, longa sic morte necabat." That in truth was a melancholy death; but I own that seems to me a heavier punishment, and a more cruel, because more exquisite and more enduring torture, which would consign a warm and living soul, with all its sensibilities and affections, with all its hopes and aspirations, with all its powers of en joying life and everything that makes life valuable, to the icy and corpse-like grasp and embrace of legal rapacity and lunatic restraint. But that is the tor ture which his relatives have prepared for him, and of that torture they ask you, gentlemen, to be the ministers and agents. But I appeal from them, and I appeal to you. I appeal from those from whom I car, expect no mercy, and I appeal to you from whom I can confidently expect justice. I implore of you to sweep away the cobwebs which theoryand prejudice, which partisanship and ignorance, which interest and falsehood, have woven around this case, and to show by your verdict—as has often been shown before—that whatever gloss, whatever covering, may be thrown around proceedings such as I have endeavoured to expose, the highest and the most grateful duty of an English jury is to detect deceit and to defeat injustice. The learned counsel then resumed his seat amidst suppressed applause, his address having altogether occupied upwards of 11 hours. The following witness was then called for Mr. Windham : Dr. T. H. Tuke, examined by Mr. Karslake—l have been in practice about 16 years, and have had numerous patients under my care. I saw Mr. Windham on the 6th of November, and on other occasions. I saw him, amounting in the whole, to a period of 14 hours. I saw him on the sth, 6th, and 11th of December, and several subsequent oc casions. I made notes of circumptogeo that 00. TIM SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1862. STATIONS OF THE BRITISH ARMY curred on my interviews with Mr. Windham. found him in the drawing room on the first occasion. There was a lady present, to whom I was intro duced. I had been informed five minutes before of the nature of the business I was wanted for, and I had no other intimation. 1 informed him that a commission of lunacy was about to be taken out against him, I had no information as to what I was to ask him. Some gentlemen were there, but Iwas for a considerable time with him alone. Mr. Wind ham said the commission was all nonsense, and would never be proceeded with, for reasons which he gave me. He said the principal in it was General Windham, his uncle ; but he did not think he would proceed with it. lie said " The old gen tleman knows me quite well; that he would not dare to get into the box." He said that his father had saved General Windham from the consequences of some act years ago, by alleging that he (General Windham) was insane. I said I thought it was a disagreeable family quarrel, and that some compro mise should be effected, When I saw the citation of Vice-Chancellor Wood, I told him that I thought it was more serious than he appeared to think, and I advised him to go to his solicitor. With Mr. Gwyn and Mr. Windham we then went to Mr. Cole, in Essex-street, when Mr. Windham gave him instruc tions to prepare for his defence. I saw him after wards. During four conversations I had with Mr. Windham I had many opportunities of seeing his deportment with his solicitor and counsel, when Mr. Windham perfectly understood the nature of all the proceedings, took part in the discussions, and showed great power of memory and attention, a perfect knowledge of the nature of his estate, and how it would be affected. I ascertained during these in terviews a great number of points in reference to his history. I had travelled over all the affidavits made against him up to the 12th of November, and on that day I had a long private conversation with him. I asked him, on the first occasion, as to his religious belief, as it was stated in the affidavits he was of no religion. He said he was a Protestant, had been confirmed, regularly attended church, and believed in rewards and punishments, and was quite clear on religion. In one of his conversations he spoke to me of a lady of character, and he said, " This marriage of mine is all my uncle's doing; he would not let me marry a young lady to whom I was much attached, or things would have been very different," and that she was a lady, daughter of a near neighbour in the country. I spoke once of his general education. He said he had read Homer and Virgil. There was Cicero's Orations on the table in my own room. He said he had never read Cicero at school. I asked him if he could say the first propo sition in Euclid. He said he thought he could do it, and went through it very correctly. He spoke about the value of his estates, and said his estate was worth £3,000 a year, out of which he was to pay his mother's jointure. He paid his wife £BOO, and paid income tax and other expenses out of the re mainder, and he had very little for himself. I spoke to him eof his debts, and he said they were from £25,000 to £30,000. That was on the 12th Novem ber. We read all the affidavits which had been filed up to that time together. I asked him how he in tended to pay his debts. He said he hoped to live quietly at Felbrigge—that the chief of the debts were to Emanuel, the jeweller,who would not press. That he should have £3OO a month for his timber, and that his mother's jointure would some day fall in; and if he had no other alternative he would sell his reversion. He said he was passionately fond of railway engine driving, and if he was mad for that so also were two noblemen whose names he men tioned. He said he drove an engine to a minute,and that I would hardly think that, when he was in a railway carriage, he could time by his watch the rate of their progress. I made notes on the affida vits, so as to put questions on them. I asked him about his being called captain, and he denied that he was called captain as a general rule, or that he liked it. He said he was senior lieutenant, some times acting as captain in the East Norfolk Militia. I asked him about the pistols. He said, " Oh, that's all nonsense." The affidavit stated he had threat ened to commit suicide. He said the pistols were given him by Ifs uncle ; they are ornamental, and he liked to have thou with him. He said his uncle had told him he had shot six men with one of them in Caw n pore. lie also said, 6 , I always took the pistols about with me. They were locked up. I took them out on the lawn. My wife and I had a quarrel. I left the pistols in the case on the grass, and came into the house again. They were not loaded, and I have lest the key." He then gave the same explana tion as the bootmaker had given about the pistols, and said it was all fun. I asked him about commu nicating a loathsome disease to his wife, and if so, knowingly. He said, '° I loved her too much for that. It has made this dreadful quarrel between us, she is so dreadfully angry about it." He said he was ill before marriage, and that he did not know he was then suffering. He said he had seen Mr. Johnsen, who did not tell him the consequences. I asked him about his slobbering, and he said he had a malformation of the mouth, and although he had nearly conquered the habit, that even now it would sometimes come on. The affidavit of Mr. Butcher said that he was of unsound. mind when he said " Oh, that's true Norfolk—he only heard that," assuming the Norfolk dialect. As to his unclean ness at Llewellyn's, he said that was all a pack of lies. He also said it was all untrue about ordering dinner and forgetting it. I drew his attention to an affidavit which spoke of his behaviour at the Norwich Theatre, and he said " Oh, I was only too fast, I suppose." He denied all the allegations of indecency in Llewellyn's affidavits. He then com mented on Horrock's affidavits, and said "Horrocks can never say lam a fool. I got him turned out of his place. I argued the conduct of his behaviour to me before the Vice-Chancellor, and that he had not a word to say." He said he had been to the Roman Catholic chapel on one occasion, and might have said he would as soon be a Roman Catholic as a Protestant. The next time I saw him was in Dr. Sutherland's room, on the same day. I accompa nied Mr. Windham there immediately after my interview with him. I was there about an hour tied a half. Dr. Sutherland examined him at con siderable length in my presence, and Mr. Windham gave him an account of the allegations against him. Dr. Sutherland asked me if that was correct, and I said it was extremely so. I next saw Mr. Wind ham on Dec. 5 at my house in Albemarle-street, with Mr. Cole, his solicitor. He brought with him a placard addressed " To the people of England," produced here, which annoyed Mr. Cole, as he thought Mr. Windham had written it, but I think he said Mr. Roberts had written it and asked him to sign it. I told Windham he had therefore be come responsible for it, as it was calculated to do mischief. He said " Oh, it is not libellous, and I told Roberts he might publish it." I said "Don't you think it a great shame to push all these ladies' names, who certainly have tam no proceedings against you P" He said he had not thought of that, but would endeavour to stop the circulation of them as far as he could, and went off with the intention of doing so. I saw him the next day, and told him the placard was being circulated. He said, "It is a great shame—it is that obstinate fellow Roberts, who would do it. I took them off from Piccadilly, in a cab, but Roberts sent for them without my knowledge, and has circulated them all over Lon don." I had some conversation with Mr. Wind ham on the 6th of December at Mr. Cole's, but no thing particularly passed. On the 11th of Decem ber was the last time I saw Mr. Windham before this inquiry commenced. That was about half past seven in the evening. He gave me a general account of his interview with Dr: Winslow and Dr. Mayo: Dr. Connelly was present, and as he told him he was too tired to go through any further exami nation, he left off. On our first interview he said something about changing his solicitor, as he was always drunk, kept him waiting, and he would wait no longer. That was not his present solicitor, Mr. Cole. My interviews altogether were more than 20 hours, and in all my interviews I never saw the slightest indication of any unsoundness of mind. I found not the slightest inconsequence or inability to keep up a connected conversation. On all ques tions put to him his views appeared to be clear and well defined. At half-past four o'clock the proceedings were adjourned. FOREIGN MAIL PACKET LIST. MAILS DUE. Australia and Mauritius, via Southampton .
