COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
TRY: WINDHAM CASE.

The arguments in this interminable case was resumed
this morning by Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., on the part of the
petitioner, Mr. Windham. The learned gentleman in the
course of his address referred to tho affidavits made
by certain of the witnesses, and the facts as they came out
in evidence, and contended that the examination before the
jury was inconsistent with many of the statements made
previous to the institution of the inquiry. Some of the
witnesses had stated that Mr. Windham had been a con-
firmed imbecile ever since his birth, yet eN en they had been
heard to admit that there were times when Mr. Windham
might be watched for hours and nothing tending to show
that he laboured under mental delusion would be discovered.
The learned gentleman was proceeding when we went to
press.

on the previous night. while passing through Oxford-street
with his wife, he met two friends and went into the Nag's--
head public-house with them to have a friendly glass.
While there the prisoner came in with some companions,
one of whom thrust her hand into his pocket twice, and
he expostulated with the prisoner and the person who put
her hand into his pocket, and appealed to the landlord
On turning round to speak to one of his friends, the pri-
soner in the most deliberate manner threw a large glass at
him which cut his head badly, and broke in pieces on fall-
ing to the ground. Not content with this the prisoner
then picked up the foot of the glass and throw it again at
him, but his wife having put up her hand to save him re-
ceived a serious cut on the hand.

Mr. Mansfield—Where did you have your head dressed ?
Complainant—l went to the Middlesex Hospital, and
some pieces of glass were taken out of the wound.

Mr. Mansfield—Did the surgeon say there was any fear
of erysipelas taking place?

Complainant—He did not, sir; but told me to keep myself
quiet.

Complainant's wife corroborated her husband, and said
her hand was cut, and the surgeon said it was a serious cut.
Mrs. Mary Whittington, of 22, Devonshire-place, Lisson-
grove, proved having her hand also cut with a piece of glass
by the prisoner.
Mr. Mansfield—Prisoner, if erysipelas should set in and
the complainant die, you might be hanged for murder. At
present there is no knowing what may be the result of the
wound on his head, and I shall therefore remand you till
Thursday.
