THE WINDHAM CASE.

COMMISSION OF LIINACY.—(THIS DAY.)
The inquiry in this owe was resumed this morn-
ing before Muter Warren and • special jury.
The Rev. H. J. Cheat's, mom-examined by Sir H. Cants
—I was engaged to act as private tutor to Mr. Windham
by Mr. Babies, who engaged me on behalf of his mother
on 27th April, 1856. I wee the first private tutor he had at
the whoa. He was at that time in the fourth form. He
had this been at Rhin more then half • year. His school
work would have been Latin, Greek, and verses. I don't
know that he was the oldest boy is the fourth form. It is
very seldom that boys es old as 16 are in the fourth
form, though it doss so happen occasionally. His
spelling was bed all the while he was with me.
I did not complain to the " dame " in whose house he was
at Eton about his dirty habits in not washing his hands and
bee. I did make representations to his mother oo the
subject when we were at Filbrigg, and she said, " You must
try and cure his dirty habits." When I complained to him
about his gluttony and his habit of slobbering he merely
grinned. The defect in his lip did not prevent his closing his
month. He did not slobber at all times, but only when he
was sitting stall at his lessons, or whet he was at his meals
and not actually eating. Mr. Windham was my Ant and
poly pupil. When I saw bin laughing without apparent
muse, 1 have occasionally asked him why he laughed,
end be would sometimes reply that it was what
he was thinking of, sad sometimes that he could
not help it. I never saw other boys bath before their
masters in the wild way he laughed. It we
• meaningless laugh, as if he was laughing at nothing. It
was like the laugh of a person who was without reason. He
wee • boy of very wild spirit. Whet he screeched and made
• noise without reason, I have asked him what it was for
and he could not or would not tell me. He weuk! screed
and dance 'about the room and laugh wildly. Some-
times he would do this in the prowess of other
boys for their amusement to make them laugh.
I never repotted his nutruthfulness to the heal master,
but I reported his riotous conduct in the house to Mr.
Ralston' who reported it to the head master, and he wee
flogged for it. That sometimes happens with other boys
at Ikon. The habits of a boy as to truthfulness anal clean-
liness would, no doubt, mach depend upon the manner in
which he had been brought up. Young Mr. Windham
was, I understood, brought up with his father and
mother at home. I never beard, while at Nor-
folk, that the father had been in the habit of
swearing and wing had language. On the first out.
don I was at Mau Mr. Windham, the father,
was there. Dow saki% to lead me to suppose that he
was • primate mem, or that he was in the habit of using
oaths or maws language. Young Mr. Windham wee very
food of mama into the stable and mixing with the stable
boys. He was we very fascia horses. While I was at Flibrigg
there was nobody but his parents and myself for him to
associate with. He was the only boy I knew, at Eton or
elsewhere, who showed a taste for being about • railway.
I heirs heard of young men who were food of gettingt
an engine, if they were allowed to do so to tulz
stand about the conduct and mode of drivivg railway
anemic That would not indicate weak intellect. When
Irw him in the kitchen, making • noise with the
servants, he was jumping about and laughing. That was
in 1855, when he was fifteen years old. I pee him
impositions for misconduct, generally 100 lines of Latin to
write out. Sometimes I was obliged to resort to corporal
punishment. I have seen the Highland fling clawed, but
though it is noisy and there is • good deal of jumping in it,
Ido not think it barbarous. When I pueithed him foe
brandishing the poker, swearing at the sensate,
beating the maids, and other faults, he did not
deny that he did so. He did sot tell an untruth about
it, bemuse he knew that I had got ieformation from per-
sons who saw it. When he rode out on his pony at Filbrigg
he was 'mealy ever alone. I usually went with him on
horseback. When he got off and beat the posy, which he
did frequently, he appeared to be dissatisfied with4lig ride
mss ot
What I mby his riding recklessly was that he
with • loose reiu over rough ground, and some-
times that be would ride very fest. The pony
was • sure footed anima. He went occasionally into
society in the neighbourhood of Filbrigg. It was generally
to cricket parties. He had no opportunity of going out to
evening parties, or dining out at gentlemen's houses. He
had no staters. It was at Christmas, 1855, and at Fester,
1856, and again at Christmas, 1856, that we were at Tor-
quay. I believe it was at Christmas, 1856, that he as-
saulted the gentleman at the party. His mother was
with him at Torquay. Mr. Campine was the' panto be
aesaulad. He was • forager, as Italian. I had met
Mr. Quapana before, and so had young Mr. Windham.
I don't kw, that any conversaloa took place before the
assault. My attention was first directed to the circum-
stances by bearing his laugh when I was at the other end of
the room. His mother was in the room. I did not
complete to his mother about it. (To the Master)—
Mr. Campane was between thirty and forty years
of age. 110 Sir H. Cairns)—l told Ile Windham's mother
that I was dissatisfied with my pupil. When I have been
willed upon to protect ladiessgainst his rudeness hews about
16. The rudeness was following them about the room sad
shouting. What the ladies said to me was,"Take away thin
disagreeable boy." I remember Mrs. Jeffries, the house-
keeper at Filbrigg. I have complained to her of the con-
duct of my pupil. I had his mother's coward when I took
him to 1)r. Fergusson. I think Mr. Windham had an
allowance paid through me when he was under my owe at
Eton. He was extravagant, and got into debt. I don't
remember what was the amount of his allowance. I paid
bas debta—one of them was • debt of 18e. et a putt cook's.
Sir H. Cairns—Wee there ever much cord* ty between
you and your pupil!—We were very goad friends at times
not so at other times. I left my pupil finally at Fader in
1857, when we were at Torquay. I did nut see General
Windham see hear from him while kis nephew was with .
me. 1 first made his acquaintance a few weeks ago. He
asked me to call at his house at Eaton.square. He en-
pres,ed a wish to see me. I did not see him from that time
till yesterday, when I met him in court.
Cromaixamiriedhy Mr. Coleridge (on behalf of Mrs. Windt
ham)—Wheu Mr. Windham let t Eton he was in the fifth form.
I don't recollect what part of the form he was in. Yon may
assume, for the purposes of a question, that be was in the
middle division. While there he would have to do, Homer
75 lines ; Virgil, 75 linos ; Satires aud Odes of Horace,
Livy, or Teams, Loam), Zenophoo, the Greek Testament,
the Odyssey, or Telemachus, 24 hues of verses, Lain exercise,
and Greek exercises and mathematics. He got through hie
work with my help. I cannot uodertake to say he was in
the fifth form. Ido not know that he did Homer. There
are trials at the school ; I don't know how many in the
yew. I believe there are trials twice in the year.
Mr. Windham was there two you; and was treated
like the other boys. I oovcr saw any other Etoo boy
make the names he did, or conduct himself in the same way.
I never heard the Ltbiopieu Serenaders. I never beard the
way in which they imitate • steam engine and end with a
lioiL (Laughter.) I have not, seen my pupil since I left
him at Turquey, at Christmas, 1856. I resigned my charge
from ill health. I oe my own accord.
He-examined by Mr. Fistd—lf my pupil was in the fifth
form it was only for a very short tuna before he left. He
was ill and not at school in the autumn of 1816, so that
lie could not have done fifth form work for many months. His
capacity for the week he actually did RYA very small. I think
his capacity slightly increased as he went on. His illness wse
caused by an injury to his finger, arising from his putting
his hand in the lifting machiue, and turning
the wheel, which mused • ;tog wheel to come on his finger
cud crush it. I did not report his uutruthfulness sand noise
conduct to the head master, because I thought it better to
treat him privately. His jumping and yelling was nothing
like the Highland ding. I me= by riding recklessly that
he rode in a way endangering his own safety. He got into
debt to the extent of some few pounds.
By the Jury—The help I gave him in his studies was to
see that lie prepared his lemmas, and put him right when
he was wrong. I had to help him considerably more than
private tutors usually help pupils. The removal hoot one
form to another is by merit, the character of the boy
Wag taken into consideration. His removal was
the result of the school examination. In his rise 1
believe favour was shown. lie got flogged for not cow
straw his lassoes, but not often when I wee with him.
His allowance was about the same as that of other boys in
the school. It was, I believe, about Is. or 2s. • week. He
went to the kitchen because he liked the company of the
servants. His principal amusement there was wash* UP
dishes. (A laugh.)

ham. He wee up to me in school in 1855, sail
he wee my Titivate pupil in the election sod
Easter, 1856. Part of the time raided in the same
house with him, Mrs. Wyse's. When he first came up to
me I was obliged to have him sit close by me, and wort
separately from the other boys, as he could not keep
up with them. The boys in the fourth form in Wind-
ham's time would be generally from 11 to 14 years of 51a
I nether could teach him Euclid. We got through
a certain amount of vulgar fractions. He could do soy run
when I showed him the way to do it, but he could new
week out aaythiog like • problem himself. He MU the
densest pupil I ewe had. I doe's think he made any sena&
advance while be was ander my care. When be tot
came up to me he baps to make • row. I made him cow
up and sit by me arid told him I would put him in tie

He was V. 17 dirty, anal had indecent habits. I advised Fe.

He would get the boys round him, end make faces *a

considered him incapable of mental exertion, or ei mint%

entesheriff of Armagh, against Mr. Messmer M. Sulli-
van, of the Dublin Morning News, oczupied the Coat of
queen's Bench from Thursday morning till Saturdey
afternoon. The alleged libel amounted substantially to
the statement that the juries empanelled in Ulster were
drawn tram one political party, that party being the deadly
foes of catholic. Further, that wk an Orangeman
could ensure himself • jury composed of his c.creli-
giooints, • catholic could not have • single catholic on
his jury. Berjeset Armstrong, Mr. Whiteside. Mr.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DA 1.)

Two o'CLoci.

The stock markets to-day are slightly firmer
in tone, but there is • complete absence of
animation. Business generally is very li-
mited. The funds have experienced a
recovery of per cent. English railways, in
which the settlement is now in courseof completion,
are, io some instances, slightly better than yesterday.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reu-
ter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Reuter opened
at 67fr. 25c., showing no change.
Consols are officially marked 901, 891, and 901,
ex div., for money, and 90 and 901, ex div.,
for the account. The present quotation is
90 to 1, both for cash and the 9th January.
The official business report is as fol-
lows :—Three per Cents. Reduced, 84, 1 ; New
Three per Cents., 891,1} ; India Stock, shut ; ditto
Five per Cent. Stock, 1021, 1, L ex div. ; ditto for
account, 1021, ex div. ; ditto Four per Cent.
Debentures,'lB64, 981; ditto, Bonds, 13a., 16e.
prem. ; Five per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper,
951 ; ditto Five-and•a-Half per Cents., 1021, 1011 ;
Exchequer Bills, June, 125., 14e., 15.. prem.
A recovery of per cent. has taken place in
Turkish Bondi; : the Loan of 1854 is now quoted
761 to 771, and that of 1868, 67 to 68.
Mexican Bonds are a little more inquired for.
Sides are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 1862, 861, ex div. ; Equador
New Consolidated, 151 ; Mexican Three per Cents.
264 ; ditto, for account, 261, ; Peruvian Uri-
Darren Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 92 ; Russian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 911; ditto Four-and-
a-Half per Cents., 1860, 80 ; Spanish Three per
Cents., 501 ; the Committee's Certificates, 51, 1 ;
Turkish Six per Ceuta., 1868, 661 ; Venezuela
Three per Cents., for account, 211.

arid comprise a good deal of useful commarad
information not to be met with in any other pub-
lication of the kind.

The features of the American news that have
excited chief apprehension are the adoption by
Congress of a vote approving of the course
pursued by the commander of the San Jacinto,
and the further endorsement of the conduct of
that officer by the Navy Department. The
difficulty attending the required surrender of the
captives after the captor has been thus eulogised
strikes the public mind rather forcibly. It is con-
sidered an unquestionable gain that the President
in his Message has not committed himself by any
allusion to the affair of the Trent, but against this
possibly satisfactory indication must be met his re-
commendation for an immediate fortification of the
points which face the foreigner.
The January dividend is announced on Peruvian
Uribarren Bonds.

There were no gold operations at the Bank yes-
terday. The Wellesley has arrived from Melbourne
with 308,0001. This, with the exoeption of a small
amount which may be taken for Spain, will be
bought by the Bank.
Next week will he a very broken one as regards
business. Apart from the uncertainty regarding
the =ewer from the American government, whicu
can hardly be received until the week is expiring,
Monday, being the day for the funeral of the late
lamented Prince, will doubtless be observed as a
close holiday in all departments of business, includ-
ing the Stock Exchange. Wednesday is Christmas-
day, and on the day following, which is usually
regarded to a great extent as a holiday, the Stock
Exchange will, it is expected, be shut. The only
open days will therefore be the Tuesday, Friday,
and Saturday.

At Lloyd's yesterday, on the receipt of the un-
favourable news from America, increased transac-
tions took place in the war risks, at a considerable
advance in quotations. On ships loading at New
York for Loudon 40s. to 60a. war risk was paid,
while the rate from China was We. As regards
vowels loading here for India the quotation was
20.. to 40a., according to date of sailing, and for
Australia and China 30a.

The Liverpool and London Fire and Life Issas,
ance Company hare issued their useful little
almanack fur the year 1862. Amongst its distinHe-
tive features is a description of the aims and pro-
gress of this company, whose invested funds exceed
a million and a quarter sterling, and whose revenue
is now upwards of tiao,ooo/. a year.

The following, on the New York stock market,
is from the circular of Messrs. Cammann and Co.,
received this day. It will be noticed that the
financial community at New York have effoctually
deluded themselves into a belief that no serious
complication will arise out of the affair of the
Trent. When they are undeceived on this point
the effect upon the prices of securities in the
American markets will probably be disastrous in the
extreme. A vast deal will depend upon the action
that may then be taken by the commercial and
financial interests :

The stock market sines our hit report of 19th ultimo has
' been unfavourably idiot:need by a feeling of anxiety rela-
tive to the effect of the arrest of the Confederate embus's-
don oa our re/atioas with the British government, and by
the strop, upward tendency of foreign exchanges, which
temporarily carried the miss nearly to the pant at which
gold ro,ght be profitably exported. These two muses,
operating at different times, have had s depressing effect on
the pricy for securities of all but the most favourite and
pettnanent descriptions. Although the upward movement
of foreign exchanged has been checked, and the apprehen-
don of so export of specie thus meesurably relieved, and it
is not believed that any serious complication in our foreign
relatious is likely to arise, operators in stocks are generally
disposed to move cautiously to view of the important events
now iwpendiug, the result of which will probably be known
in the course of the next few weeks. There is consequently
a considerable decrease in the amount of business, and the
supply of stocks for the lest few days having been in excess
of the demand, the teodeocy of prices has been down weed.
With regard to the moult of the military and naval opera-
tions of the government, the feeling is very hopeful, and
the traffic us the ladies railroads contioun very large,
their present earnings exceeding those ever before &alibied,
hut in the present tone of the marks, these favourable fee-
terse have little or no effort.

The failure has taken place of Messrs. West-
garth and Co., Australian merchants. The amount
of their liabilities and assets has nut yet beau
ascertained. Their commitments, however, are
not believed to be very considerable, operations of
late having been restricted. The firm has been
established about 20 years in Melbourne, and seven
Jean hers. The circular issued is subjoined :

37, Threadneedle-street, KC., Dm 16, 1861.
Sir,—We regret that the locressingly adverse accounts by
several late Australian mails and the absence of remittauces
compel us to suspend payment. We beg to state that this
result is chiefly caused by the unfavourable winding up of the
late copartnery of Westgsrth. Ross, and Co., which has not
only deprived us of a reversion of capital that was at lint
anticipated, but is now leaving some claims against the two
senior partners. This suspension will involve that of out
Melbourne house, Westgarth, Moss, and !Mowers. We have
placed onr books is the hands of Mena. Coleman, Tur•
plead. Yoasp, sad 00., who will pnpan a statement of
our affairs to be laid before our creditors at thu earliest pos-
sible postai—We are respectfully,
