THE CASE OF SIR. F. W. WINDHAM.
LORIT,S JUSTICES' COURT (THIS DAY).
Their lordships this no)rning delivered judgment in the
petition I resented by Mr. F. W. Windham, praying that
the promoters of the mit of the late legal proceedings
against him might be callei upon to pay the costs incurred.
Lord Justice Knight 3ruce said the petition they now
had to dispose of was ore presented by Mr. William Fre-
derickiWindhara, who had been alleged to be a person of un-
sound mind, but by a verdict of a jury he had been found
not so. Mr. Windham vas the only child of a deceased
gentleman formerly resident in Norfolk, and the mother of
the petitioner it appeared had contracted a second marriage
during Mr. Wm. Fredk. Windham's minority. The young
gentleman appears to hare uncles and aunts maternally and
paternally, and he appeam to have been a personof eccentric
habits. With respect to tie early training of Mr. Windham
the Court considered that ho had net been judiciously
brought up. In the latte? part of the August of last year
he went through the ceremony of marriage under circum-
stances which it was not necessary to describe. Imprudent
would be too weak an expression; for a marriage so start-
ling appeared to be impossible or incredible. In the fol-
lowing November 15 persons, all connected with Mr. W. F.
Windham, including three gentlemen who were the
guardians of the young man, applied for a commission to
inquire into the state of mind of Mr. Windham. That
application was opposed on his part, but at the same time
it was prayed that if the commission was granted it might
be tried before a jury. After considering the affidavit that
had been placed before them, the Court thought it right to
grant the prayer of the petition, and accordingly the in-
quiry was ordered. Previous to that step the Court had
directed that a medical gentleman should see Mr. Wind-
ham on its behalf, one of whom the Court was in the habit
of consulting and referring to in cases of such a character,
and the report of the gentlemen was such as to render an
interview between Mr. Windham and their lordships
wholly superfluous. It would have been inconsistent to
their lordship., and to society, if the inquiry had been
refused. Inquiry having been decided, a long trial took
place before a jury, during which 48 witnesses were ex-
amined on the part of the original petitioners, and 91 on the
part of Mr. Windham. That number appeared to be ex-
cessive, but the Court could not say it was too small, and
after Mr. Windham had eppeeLed in person before the
Master in Lunacy and the jury for examination, the result
arrived at was a verdict that he was not a person of
th
un-
sound mind. The verdict was signed by 16 of the jury-
men, more than a sufficient number to make it alEetsgatloveehradri::,
but in accordance with a communication addressed to the
Master by the Court, a statement was received by which it
was found that seven of the jury dissented from the finding.

that inquiry. The application was based, not only
on the
verdict, but on the ground that at that inquiry the peli.
tioners had brought forward evidence documentary and
oral, exaggerated and inaccurate, which they either knew
or might have asserted to be so. The petitioner did not
alledge malice or bad faith on the part of the original peti-
tioners, and it appeared to the Court that no such bad feel-
ing had been made out, neither did the Court see
any reason to censure the original petitioners
for that which took place during the long and
painful inquiry, nor did the Court see any ground
for blaming the original petitioners, that they did not bring
forward more evidence. The facts then and now undis-
puted, in the opinion of the Court, were more than suffi•
cient to render it their plain and inevitable duty to direct
the inquiry; and if they had hesitated to do so, the Court
would, in his opinion, have greatly erred. With regard to
the verdict he would say nothing, but he was satisfied that
if, upon the day of making the application for the commis-
sion, there had been before the Court the whole of the evi •
dente adduced at the trial, he would not have been less
strongly convinced than he was that it was the duty of the
Court to make the order. Assuming, however, that the
verdict of the jury was right, he was of opinion that in all
the facts now before them, the presentation of the ori-
ginal petition and its prosecution here and before a jury
were acts per fectly consistent with the petitioner's duty,
legal and moral, towards Mr. W. F. Windham and also to
society. As to General Windham not being called, he
considered that circumstance quite immaterial, considering
what the otber evidence was before the Court. His lord-
ship considered the present demand for costs without foun-
dation ; but it must be remembered that if Mr. Windham
had incurred a heavy expense in resisting the pro-
ceedings, although the jury had found him to
be a person of sound mind, it must be
considered that his own acts and conduct were the
cause of those proceedings which were painful to himself
and also to others. He was convinced that every one of the
22 gentlemen that composed the jury were only animated
with the desire to do their duty. He would conclude his
remarks by saying that the whole conduct of the Master
during the progression of the trial, cruelly painful and
wearisome, was characterised by judgment and sound dis-
cretion.
The petition of Mr. Windham was therefore dismissed,
each party having to pay their own costs.
Lord Justice Turner also gave his judgment which was
the same in effect.
Mr. Bacon said great expense had been incurred by:the
notice that the evidence before the jury would be used be-
fore their lordships, and counter affidavits were therefore
necessary, He asked for cc-t, v.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

FORD V. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
Mr. Bovill said this was an action tried at Guildhall. It
arose out of the accident on the South-Western Railway,
near Merton, when, on account of the injuries sustained by
the plaintiff, the jury gave him £1,500 damages. He had
now, on the part of the railway company, to move for a
new trail.
The Court refused to disturb the verdict.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
LINDSAY V. LEA.THLEy.i
Mr. Bovill said he had to move in a case which was tried
before the Lord Chief Justice, at Guildhall. The learned
gentleman was informed that as his lordship had been called
away to Italy by the illness of his sister, the application
must stand over, with others, which had been tried before
his lordship until next week.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
PARRY V. BLAND.

This was an action to recover commission under the fol.
lowing curious circumstances :—Plaintiff is an attorney,
and in the course of his professional career had a client who
had availed himself of the benefits to be derived from the
jurisdiction of the Court of Bankruptcy. The plaintiff and
defendant, who is an accountant, then agreed together that
if he (the plaintiff) obtained defendant the "job," to make
out the bankrupt's accounts, he (the defendant) would
allow the plaintiff ene-fourth of the amount. Accordingly
the plaintiff did get defendant the job, and the bill, amount •
ing to £22 10s., plaintiff sought to recover £5 12s, 6d.
His Honour expressed considerable surprise at an attorney
making such a bargain with an accountant, and Mr. Parry
said it was a matter of every day occurrence. In fact, ae
countants and auctioneers were now sending circulars to
attorneys upon this very subject
Mr. Abrahams (for defendant) protested against such a
statement. The profession generally, and the great body
of accountants of standing set their faces against such
bargains.

His Honour (to the plaintiff)—The bankrupt was your
client.

Plaintiff—Ho was.

His Honour—And, of course, you would recommend
that the bill should be paid.
Plaintiff—•lt could be taxed.
His Honour—lt will be a very nice thing for clients to
know of such bargains.

Plaintiff—l can only say they are of daily occurrence.
Mr. Abrahams then urged that even if the defendant
had agreed to such a bargain, plaintiff was not in a position
to recover as it was against public policy.

His Honour considered that in justice to the interests of

POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH- STREE T, THIS DAY.
GAROTTINO A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.—WM. Lee, a
tailor, of 6, Hanover-place, Hanover-square, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting, by garotting, Mr.
George Heywood (commercial traveller to a City house),
of 34, Upper Barnsbury-street, Islington.
Mr. George Heywood said yesterday evening, about nine
o'clock, I was passing along .Argyll-place, intending to
make a call in Oxford•street and then take an omnibus
home, when the prisoner, who had a companion with him,
suddely put his arm round my neck and gripped me with a
similar pressure to that used by horsedealers when trying
the wind of a horse. The prisoner held me very tightly,
causing me a deal of suffering. I got the prisoner's hand
from my throat, and then the prisoner's companion pulled
the prisoner away from me, and they walked off till they
got to Oxford-street. I felt quite unnerved, and did not
call for assistance till they got to Oxford-street, when, as
they commenced running, I called " Police" and gave an
alarm, and the prisoner was secured by two gentlemen.
The Chief Clerk—Was any attempt made on your
pockets ?

Mr. Heywood—l cannot say. I was nearly suffocated,
and cannot say whether the prisoner did anything with his
other hand while he had his arm round ray throat. The
grip the prisoner gave me was in the centre of my throat,
The Chief Clerk—Did you miss anything p
Mr. Heywood—l did not.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was it done suddenly?
Mr. Heywood—Yes, momentarily. The prisoner came
up to me unawares.
Frederick Buckingham, 328 A, said about a quarter-
past nine last night I was in Oxford-street when the pro-
secutor came up to me out of breath, and said the prisoner,
who was being held by two gentlemen, had attempted to
garotte him in Argyll-place. I asked the prisoner why he
had done it, and he said he knew nothing of the affair, and
then abused the prosecutor, and said he only wanted to get
up a charge.

Prisoner—l was tipsy, and am very sorry.
The constable—He was not drunk.
Barns, the gaoler--The prisoner is a drunken, idle tailor,
and has been charged with assaults here.
Mr. Tyrwhitt-- It is a most dangerous thing, and I shall
send the case to the sessions. I shall mark these assaults
with all the severity I can.

Mr. Heywood—f feel it ray duty to press the case, as
here have been so many of these cases lately.
Mr. Tyrvelaitt—l quite agree with you, sir.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.
