(Before the L-Irds Justices sitting in Lunacy.)
IN RE W. F. WINDHAM,

In this case Mr. W. F. Windham, the alleged lunatic,
had presented a petition praying the Court to reverse its
former orders in November last, and to order and direct
the costs, charges, and expenses of the petitioner in
defending himself under the late commission de lunatico
inquircndo, amounting, it is stated, to upwards of £15,000,
and which resulted, after a protracted trial of 32 days, in
the jury returning a verdict that Mr. Windham was of
sound mind, and capable of managing his estate and affairs,
to be paid and borne by Major-General Windham, Lord
Alfred Hervey, and others, or some or one of them, upon
whose petition the commission issued.
The petition was slt down for hearing on Friday last,
and adjourned to this day.

Mr. Rowcliffe, on the part of the petitioner, asked that
the petition should be allowed to stand over till Friday
next, to give time to answer certain affidavits.

Mr. Brown, on the other side, offered no objection.
The Court ordered the petition to stand over accordingly.
