before, and which, until he mentioned, I had forgot's& He
did quite as well ea his father. On one oaseloa be tams to
me and touched me on the shoulder, and said, " Tourgisis
cocked," and I said, " I beg your pardon, sir, so it is." He
is of perfectly sound mind, and no one will ever make me
believe otherwise
Cross-examined by Mr. Clambers—He is more clever thee
other young men, is he not ?—1 should say he is about the
same as other young gentlemen.
Is he eccentric in his manner?
Witness—What is that? (Laughter.)
Is he odd in hie manner ?
He is not very odd. He swears emotions when there
is not sufficient game, as other gentlemen do. I have never
said I was not surprised that they were going to make him
• lunatic. I will swear I WNW said, " Windham is an
idiot, and always will be." I never said such a thing,
and paver thought it. I never said it was just what I ex-
pected, or what else could be expected but that they should
make him a lunatic. It was I that shot the horse.
Mr. Chambers—Where did you shoot it?

was always eyeful with his gnu. I remember his going to
Mr. Prior's to shoot. I never heard of his shooting et two
men who were loading turnips, sad did not get out of his
way. I never heard of Major Smith complaining

Ido not know who wrote out my affidavit for me. I
was a gentleman came down and I told him what I knew
of Mr. Wiedham, and he wrote it out, and read it over to
metwice, and I said it was all right. Hr. Windham hoe told
me to be careful of my gun whoa I was bandies gentlemen
over a fence.
Mr. Chambers—ln your affidavit you say Mr. Windham
is perfectly capable of maiming hie affairs. What do you
mesa by managing his affairs?
Witness—Why, he always managed say affairs well
enough. (Laughter.)
Re-examined—The horse which was shot was very lame.
He was not worth keeping ; he was • dangerous brute, and
his own groom hardly dared to use him.
James Catten—l am • bricklayer at Felbrigg, and have
been employed on the Felbnu estate more than 30 yeses.
I have Ohm talked with Mr. Windham, the pneent squire,

with Sir Curse Cooper. I have known Mr. Windham four
afrom his coming to see my husband, who was them •
at the railway. My husband is now valet to Mr.
hem. Mr. Windham always behaved as a gentleman
u far as I saw. He is very haety, but not more so than
others. There is nothing particular in the t
of hi room. He is most domesticated. In my epinioa be
lei perfectly sane.

drank Mr. Windlasee's health, and success to his cum.
He stayed at Fellerigg two days et Christmas. He has not
had may railway guards there. There have been
several parties of farmers, who had been shooting
with him. They are ell witnesses. I never noticed up
thing peculiar about Mr. Windham. I have noticed •
peculiarity in the shape of the jaw. I have seen him look
rather dirty when he has come off an engine at Norwich.
Reexamined—There is nothing in Mr. Windham's we
