so badly is to quite prepare us for his defeat in the Ten
Sove. riweer,t,ites on Monday, which the throe year old
won is a canter. Toe handicaps brought out My
Partner, i ienealugie, The Brahmin, awl Silkstooe in a much
better light than had surrounded their previous doings;
but, on the whole, those that had been set deem as
"cracks" before the meeting lost a lot of their prestige by
the runnin,t of the four days, neither the Marquis, Talmo*,
Poccador, Itiplaalamia, Klima, King of Hearts, Patriot,
?Attend. nor Neptunus (and the lot had measured
Marignan, Caterer, Alvedision, Wingrave, and Buckatooe),
showing what could be called Derby forms, for %attend,
ileeadet, and Neptunus had all been beaten by Johnny
Armstrong, who is not engaged in next year's great event.
All that 1 will not believe in is Neptutius's running. for the
week followiog Doometer he pee Zetlaud 31b
and beat him very easily at Richmond, which was
very different form to that he displayed with Mr. Osborne's
hone whenever they mot before, except in the Convivial, at
York ; and Zetlaud, in another ram, gave Pimaikir (does to
Caterer at York) Idih and beat him. On conning the above
remarks, your readers will perceive that the Goodwood,
York, Doncaster, and intermediate meetings, brought to
light the qualities of a goodly number—My Partner, &A-
nzio, Silkatone. Oellsrius Knight of St. Michael, Vicki;
Tim Walter, Miss Vivian, the Sister to Stafford filly, Hur-

called as a witness, and he would state that all be did was
thia. Net choosing to have Mr. Williams there accompany-
ing Mies Hooper, he placed his band upon his brevet, and
told him to go, and he went. This was all that was
done. Two witnesses would corroborate this statement,
and the keeper a the hotel where the plaintiff stayed
would state that there was no complaint or symptom of
any aerials assault having been committal.
At this stage of the proceedings the further hearing was
postponed until today.

After our report left yesterday, Mr. W. P.
Nicholls, a surgeon at Norwich, who bad been acquainted
with the Windham family for many years, and who had
examined the alleged lunatic professionally, gave evidence
as to his weakness of intellect, stating that in childhood
he gave all the indications of congenital idiotcy. From
what he bad seen of him since he did not think him capable
of managing his affairs or his person.
The Rev. H. J. Chealea, who was private tutor to Mr.
W. F. Windham, described his unseemly habits, his constant
untruthfulness, and his extraordinary demeanour. He
always treated him, he said, as a boy of weak intellect.
The further examinatiaa was then adjourned till this day.
