provement of Gal-way Harbour. Father Daly had
been in London, and while there took upon himself
to initiate proceedings for obtaining, through the
Marine Department of the Board of Trade, a loan
of £75,000 for the improvement of Galway harbour.
On his return to Galway he reported to the board
what he had done without authority, and the board,
it is said, was so well pleased, that they passed him
a vote of thanks. At a subsequent meeting he found
measures being taken with a view to an application
under the same act, and for the same purpose, for a
loan of £lOO,OOO. He stated this was all done be-
fore, and called for the minutes to bear him out.
The secretary, the Rev. Mr. D'Arcy, a Protestant
clergyman, said he could not find the minute, and
it is alleged that Father Daly, in his excitement at
what was being done for unworthy purposes, as he
conceived, told the Rev. Mr. D'Arcy in an offensive
manner that his statement was untrue. It is im-
puted that some members of the board were re-doing
this work to make political capital, while on the
other hand it is stated that nothing was being done
but what was necessary and proper.
Thus the quarrel stands. Observation has been
made upon the fact that the Rev. Mr. Daly publicly
officiated after the letter of suspension had been
read in the several Roman Catholic places of wor-
ship. By those opposed to him he is censured for
this contempt of the authority of the Bishop, and
many of his friends regret that he should have done
so, they supposing that he had acted in defiance of
the suspension. The Rev. Mr. Daly did officiate as
-4.ated—not, however, in a spirit of defiance or con-
tempt, holdingli that the Bishop had no power
to issu e the
spension after he had lodged an u‘-":ap-
peal to the Court of Rome, and that the suspension
being issued after the citation to Rome, it is null
and void. It is understood that Father Daly is

THE TVINDLIAId CASE.

NINETEENTH DAY.
Sir G. Armytage, the foreman of the jury, said
as soon as the Master had taken his seat, that he
had received a letter by post addressed to " The
Foreman of the jury." He had not opened it, and
he would rather hand it to the Master.
The Master opened it, and said that in the first
sentence it reflected very offensively upon a gentle-
man of great respectability,. He would not read
further.
On the request of Sir G. Armytage, the letter
was torn up, and the anonymous writer may have
the satisfaction of knowing that nobody is ac-
quainted with its contents.
In answer to a question,
Mr. Karslake said he hoped to get through the
evidence by Monday or Tuesday next, unless there
was a longer cross-examination than he anticipated.
John Robinson, a surgeon of Devonshire-street,
Portland-place, said h© had been attending Lady
Sophia Giubelei. She was suffering from an attack
of dysentery, and was quite unable to attend to be
examined as a witness.
Captain Charles Euson said ho was formerly in
the 38th Regiment, and now held a captain's com-
mission in the East Norfolk Militia. Mr. Wind-
ham was his subaltern during the whole time he
was in the regiment, and he was in daily commu-
nication with him, Mr. Windham acted as lieute-
nant, and he was at mess every day, with one or
two exceptions perhaps. He was very constant
in his duty on parade, He performed his duty
exceedingly well, and very zealously. His con-
duct at mess was perfectly gentlemanlike. In
September, 1861, witness was in the neigh-
bourhood of Felbrigge, and he called upon Mr.
Windham. He found Mr. Windham there with his
wife and two of her sisters. His manner was very
friendly, and he introduced him to his wife and
sisters. He asked witness to accompany them on a
ride. They went to look at a cottage which he
thought wanted repairing, and at some other houses.
He was invited to dine, but ho was unable to stay.
He considered Mr. Windham to be a man of sound
mind.

Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—He never
knew how Mr. 'Windham passed his nights. He did
not make the witness acquainted with his fondness
for acting as guard or other peculiarities. Be could
not name anyone of the officers with whom he asso-
ciated as an intimate friend. He was on friendly
terms with all. While at Yarmouth he saw Mr.
Windham at a party at Mr. Hat court's, and at a
ball in the public rooms. Mr. Windham was there
dancing, but he never heard that he made a noise
on the stairs.

Mr. Thomas Bingham, a tailor at Norwich, said
he had known Mr. Windham since Oct. 29, 1859.
Since that time Mr. Windham had dealt with him.
His orders were sensible and moderate. He never
observed anything wrong in his mind.
Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—Mr. Windham
never ordered a railway dress from him. He had no
idea of Mr. Windham's propensity for railway
driving.
Mr. Charles Howlett, an ironmonger, of Norwich,
had also had business transactions with Mr. Wind-
ham, who always acted rationally. He believed
him to be of perfectly sound mind.
Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—When Mr.
Windham came to his shop he was alway clean,
and dressed like other gentlemen. He had been
to Drury-lane Theatre with Mr. Windham,
accompanied by Mr. Snowling, a hotel-keeper,
in Norwich, Mr. Durrant, an omnibus driver,
and Walker, an innkeeper, of Cromer. It was
in the first week of this trial. The party
started from Brett's Hotel, Holborn, where they
dined, and met Mr. Windham at the theatre by
Mr. Windham paid for the admis-
sion of all. After the theatre Durrant and witness
went to Barnes's, in the 'Haymarket, as other young
men do. (Laughter.) They met Walker there.
Afterwards he went home to Brett's Hotel. When
they left the theatre Mr. Windham went off in a
cab by himself. He had seen Mr. Windham at
Barnes's twice. He did not inquire about the re-
putation of the house. Women came in. Witness
left Windham there. When he saw Mr. Windham
there the second time he was with a gentleman.
Mr. Windham was at that time staying at Mr.
Roberts's, in Piccadilly. Witness and Durrant, the
omnibus driver, went to see him twice at five o'clock.
They were invited to dine there. Walker was also
there: Mr. Windham dined with them. They had
a good dinner, but nothing out of the way. They
had ale and sherry. They all left the house together.
Mr. Windham got into a cab and the others walked
away. They went to the Alhambra, and saw the
General there. (Laughter.) He told Mr. Windham
at the second dinner party that it was a disgrace for
him to live in a house with a man with such a
reputation as Roberts had; and he said Roberts
was a bad sort, and that he intended to cut him.
They all left the same way as before, Mr. Windham
taking a cab. On both occasions they found him at
Barnes's in the Haymarket afterwards. Mr. Wind-
ham never told him that he intended to give a ball
to the women of the Haymarket. Mr. Windham
did not tell him that he was in the habit of going
to the Haymarket almost every night while these
proceedings were going on. He saw Mr. Windham
both nights in the street of the Haymarket, while
the women were walking up and down. They left
Mr. Windham at Barnes's both nights. He saw
Windham talking to some female in the Hay-
market. He looked serious, but he did not hear
what passed between them. There was not a group
of females near him. He never said, "They have
got young Windham up very well; he really looks
a clever young fellow. He never met Windham
at Norwich except in the way of business.
Re-examined by Mr. Karslake—Mr: Durrant
lived in St. Giles'-street, Norwich. He was an
omnibus proprietor, and drove his own 'bus. All
the people he had spoken of were witnesses in this
case, and were staying in London at Mr. Wind-
ham's expense. They went to Drury-lane Theatre
because Mr. Windham had offered them a private
box.

Mr. Charles Colman, a fishmonger and dealer in
game in Norwich, had known Mr. Windham some
time, and had had dealings with him. He bought
game from gentlemen round the country, and last
year Mr. Windham came to him and arranged that
he should pay ss. a brace for pheasants, 2s. a brace
for partridges, ls. a piece for hares, 9s. a dozen for
rabbits, and 2s. each for woodcocks. They were
the regular prices, Mr. Windham paying the car-
riage. Many transactions took place between
them, Mr. 'Windham conducted his business like
any other gentleman.
Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—lt was the
ordinary practice of gentlemen to come to make
their own bargains. Not one in ten sent his game-
keeper.
Mr. H. W. Burr said he had been in the habit of
reading with pupils for the army. In Nov., 1858,
young Mr. Windham came to him at Wokingham,
and stayed till February, 1859, for the purpose of
reading for the army examination. The chief sub-
jects were history, geography, mathematics,
classics, French, and fortification. That was the
programme of the Horse Guards. Other gentlemen
were there at the time. Mr. Windham was rather
quicker than otherwise at learning. He was not
very assiduous, hut when he liked to apply himself
he could learn quicker than the average of youths.
He used to go out shooting and hunting. Witness.,
taught Mr. Windham Euclid, history, geography,
and fortification. Other branches of mathematics
and classics were taught him by the Rev. Wm.
