petitioners had occupied eleven days, and the awe for the
defence, with a speech from Sir Hugh Cairns of two day%

Mr. Andrews, a large laodowner at Rerepton, Somerset- to

ham in the summer of 1857. when be was a pupil with the
gt
rector of Ileropton. Mr. Windham frequently visited wit- gi.
oasis houms, up to the time he left, in the early part 8
of 1858, and always conducted himself iu a moat lo
gentlemanly manner. He occasionally drove out Km to
Amines and her daughter. Before he left in 1855 he made kit-
a propoaal of marriage to witnees's eldest daughter, who 114
had MUM been well married. (Mr. Milwerd proceeded to to
rvad the correspondence which passed between Mr. Audrews, 66,
Mr. Windham, and Lady Sophia, upon the sub- 61.
ject of the proposed mania" which the
Master and jury expreesed an °pintos did great honour LI!.
to all persons concerned.) Witness opposed the
engagement simply on acixr.int of the youth of his daughter gs.
soil Mr. Windham. There was no personal reason, Intel- 6
tactual or otherwise, which induced witness to reject Mr. M.
