vestries and district boards more immediately
affected would elicit many material points of evi-
dence and guide the commissioners in their in-
quiries, Last, but not least, stands the financial
branch of the subject, which doubtless presents
difficulties far greater than surrounded the previous
question. It is clear that the revenues ascribed by
Parliament to the construction of the northern em-
bankment will fall short of what will be required
for the project shadowed forth in the preceding re-
marks, even should the present coal dues be extended
from 10 to 20 years. It is equally clear that no local
source of income can be looked for to supply the
deficiency, and foregone experience would point to
the inevitable conclusion that, imperial as may be
the character of any scheme for improving the great
highway of our commercial capital, no help is to be
expected from the imperial exchequer.
" To propound a complete plan for the ameliora-
tion of both banks of our river, and to acknowledge
our inability to devise any means of paying for it,
would surely be unbecoming to the financial capa-
city of a body of practical men, and probably, after
passing in review the several elements of the ques-
tion, they will consider that, inasmuch as this work
is mainly required to facilitate the trade of the
metropolis, that trade ought to defray its cost, and
that a small tonnage due on the goods entered in-
wards and outwards in the port of London, except-
ing coal as already taxed, would be a burden but
lightly felt by the community, readily collected by
the existing machinery, and a convenient applica-
tion to metropolitan finances of that combination of
direct with indirect taxation which has been found
the most equitable made of replenishing the na-
tional exchequer."

here this morning ?" Witness said, " I understand
you are going to be married to-day." He denied it, I
and asked, if he was to marry, what he thought the
General would do to him. Witness said he would
issue a Commission of Lunacy against him. Wit-
ness said he had received a telegraph from the Ge-
neral to come up and stop the marriage. He ad-
vised him to mind what he was doing, and not to
marry Agnes Willoughby, as the General would
take some proceedings, or issue a Commission of
Lunacy against him. Mr. Windham was very angry
with the General, and threatened to call him out.
Mr. Windham afterwards came down to breakfast.
His wife was present. Witness did all he could to
persuade him not to marry Agnes Willoughby. He
promised to meet me at the railway station, and go
down to Felbrigg. He waited some time, but he
never came. Witness returned to Felbrigg the next
morning, and the day after he heard Mr. Windham
was married. He recollected Mr. Windham bring-
ing down his wire and her sister about 10 days after
the marriage. He met Mr. Windham a few hours
after he came down in the Park, Mr. Windham
said, "Martin, my wife thinks she is no great fa-
vourite of yours ; I assure you she is a perfect lady,
and I have evidence to prove it." Witness replied
there was no wonder she should think she was no
favourite of his after the steps he had taken; and
that if what Mr. Windham said of her was true, he
was very glad to hear it. Witness and his wife re-
fused to live at the Hall after the marriage, and
left. Mr. Windham then proposed that witness and
his wife should go and live at the dairy house,
There was some discussion about the repairs.

The learned counsel here read a number of letters
written by Mr. Windham to Mr. Martin on various
subjects. They were written in a very coherent
manner. The following may be taken as a speci-
men of the whole :

" Bath, June 7.

" Dear Martin,—l see by the paper they are
going to make a railroad to Cromer ; if so, let me
know all the particulars you can, where they are
going, &c. How is the black foal getting on ? You
may tell Capt. Windham that if it is likely to be
16 hands or near it, it will just suit me, as I am
going in the Life Guards, and it will save the
trouble of buying two, which is an immense ex-
pense. Tell him I think lam coming down there
soon to read for my examination. Love to Jeffy.
If I come I shall read all the morning and the after-
noon, put myself under your tuition so as to learn
the management of the estate, which I,mean to do.
I suppose the place is looking, as it always does,
beautiful. Good bye now, and believe me to be, &c.
" W. F. WINDIIAM.
" Direct to me at No. 1, Little Argyll-street,
Regent-street, London."
In reply to Mr. Karslake, the witness stated that
Mr. Windham always conversed with him in the
most rational manner, but did not take much in-
terest in going over the estate.
Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—l am still a
friend of Mr. Windham, and saw him last Satur-
day, on the road near Felbrigg. He was driving a
four-in-hand drag. He had several persons on the
drag with him. Mr. Windham recognised me. I
was going to Rowton. I don't think there was
any one staying at Felbrigg. The Hall is in
charge of Mrs. Spittle, the housekeeper. Bald-
win came into Mr. Windham's service when he
became of age. I have not spoken to Mr.
Windham for some time; I saw him and spoke
to him in the Exchequer Court during the pro.
ceedings. My wife and myself always treated him
with kindness while he was a boy. It has struck
me that he was guilty of telling falsehoods, but I
did not remonstrate with him for it. Mr. Windham
never did insult me. I should think that his mind
was a little below the average. In the letters,
" give my love to Jeffy," meant to my wife. Many
of the letters were written while General Windham
had the management of the estate. Some of the
letters ere answers to letters from me. He had
corresponded with Captain Windham about his
farm—l only knew of his acting on railways from
what I have heard. He never told me so. I visited
him while he was at Mr. Hawke's. Did not
observe that his hands and face were black. He
used to speak and call out loudly. His father used
to call out loud. He would call out and shout out
in the house. I have heard him imitate a cat, but
never heard him yell as a dog. He never imitated
caterwauling before the servants in my presence.
When he came to my rooms he was always very
quiet. Ido not know where the livery clothes are
in which he used to dress himself. It was the
Windham livery. He also had a soldier's dress, and
I have seen him outside the Hall with it on. At
the funeral of his father I heard him weep bitterly.
I did not see him when he came back from the
funeral. When I first visited him in London I
stayed nearly a week. I went with him to the
places I have mentioned in my examination. I
never accompanied him to the Haymarket. When I
was with him at the review at Wimbledon, I did
not hear him shouting or hallooing ; when I went
up to him he was drinking beer with some police-
men. I saw three there; could not say Oliver was
one of them. The policemen walked with Mr.
Windham and myself to the carriage. He appeared
free and easy and familiar with the policemen. He
never told me he did so to familiarise himself as a
magistrate. Never heard him say he had repre-
sented himself at Yarmouth as a detective police-
man from London ; have heard so since. It was
about the second week in July last when I visited
him in London. The second time I came to Lan-
don was on the occasion of my coming to stop the
marriage. I arrived in the morning. He was then
in bed. He did not appear to be dirty, as if he had
been driving a railway train. He never told me he
had driven a railway train for a week. When he
told me he was not going to be married I was satis-
fied, and believed he would meet me at the railway
station to go back to Felbrigge. I never heard any
complaint of his driving the mail cart to Hailsham
so fast. I have told him myself not to drive so fast.
He had a habit of aalling out to persons on the road
to get out of the way, and I cautioned him that some
day he would have somebody get out of their cart
and give him a good drubbing. Could not recollect
having told him if he ran through the droves of
sheep they would pull him up. Mr. Windham told
me he had had a good offer for his timber ; Mr.
Roberts had offered to give him £20,000 for the
timber in four or five years. I advised him not to
sell it, as it would injure the appearance of the
estate. Mr. Windham said he considered it a very
good thing. Recollected Mr. Roberts and Mr.
Lawrence coming down when the contract was
signed.
Re-examined by Mr. Karslake—The distance be-
tween Norwich and Felbrigge was about twelve
miles. Mr. Windham did not drive with a large
or heavy whip. When he went to Norwich a
second horse was generally sent on. I have heard
him speak in the Norfolk dialect and tell stories.
His father was very fond of doing so, and so
was his uncle Henry. They were very good
imitators of the dialect, and so is young Mr. Wind-
ham. Captain Windham told me he had written
to young Mr, Windham to ask him what tenants
he wished notice to be given to, as he
would come into his estate in August, he thought
he ought to exercise his discretion; it was in con-
sequence of that, that Simmons and Muller received
notice. Had seen Mr. Windham wearing a watch
guard, which he said had been given to him by
Agnes Willoughby ; I believed it until I afterwards
saw it charged for in his watchmaker's bill.
By Mr. Chambers—l never heard that the day
after he became of age he ordered Lady Sophia, his
mother, to leave. She stayed a night or two. I
do not recollect having said so. She has locked the
park gates. I was not present when Lady Sophia
came back, but heard that he had refused to admit
her.

By Sir Geo. Armytage—There has been TIO re-
gular fall of the timber on the estate since I was
there. Had I known he was going to sign the
contract for the sale of the timber, I should hare
advised him tot to sign it.
By a Juror—l did not go to the entertainment
given by Mr. Windham at Christmas. Was in-
vited, but neither myself or wife went.
Mr. Giubelei, examined by Mr. Milward—l was
married to Lady Sophia Windham in May, 1858.
I met her at Torquay, and went to reside_at her
estate near Torquay. First met Windham in April';

before that I had been staying there about a fort- '
night. ',Poly Sophia was very kind and indulgent
to him. He always appeared more ready to do
anything by kindness than by force. Afterwards
met him in Londan at the railway station with
Captain Windham in May. They went to the
opera that night. Captain Windham used to take
him out at night; Lady Sophia objected to it, and
he remained at home. Lady Sophia took a house
at Fulham, "Thames Bank." Met Mr. Windham
there several times, and went out riding. Saw him
afterwards at the chambers of the Vice-Chancellor,
when it was arranged that he should go into the
care of the Rev. Mr. Devon, for the purpose of
travelling. He came back to Lady Sophia's—
they were then staying in Grosvenor-terrace.
He took an apartment for himself and stayed a
fortnight. This was in October. When the Mar-
quis of Bristol died, I wrote to Mr. Windham to
come up. It was on Christmas-day. Mr. Wind-
ham accompanied myself and Lady Sophia to Paris
in February, 1859 ; they remained there until
April ; they visited the principal.places in the city.
On their return Mr. Windham went to the Port-
land. Colonel Bathurst met him there. He went
with Colonel Bathurst to Plymouth and afterwards
abroad with him. The Rev. Mr. Horrock had
then been appointed tutor by the Vice-Chancellor.
He saw Mr. Windham on his return at Felbrigg.
Recollected a great noise, and on going into the
hall saw Mr. Windham on the ground ; he was
bleeding. Mr. Horrock said he had boxed his ears
because he had used insulting language to him.
On application to the Vice-Chancellor, at Mr.
Windham's request, Mr. Horrock was removed.
Mr. Windham refusing to return fo him, he was
brought before the Vice-Chancellor, and stated his
reasons. Mr. Hook, his uncle, and Lady Sophia
took the same view. Mr. Windham then joined his
regiment, and witness and Lady Sophia were
threatened with proceedings for contempt in excit-
ing Mr. Windham to join his regiment. When
Mr. Horrock went away he came to reside with us,
and remained a week or ten days. When Mr.
Peat field came he was allowed by the Vice•Chan-
callor to remain in town, that he might be presented
at Court. When Mr. Windham came to town last
summer, and lived in Duke-street, he used to visit
us almost daily at Sidmouth Villa, Brompton, and
frequently drove Lady Sophia out, sometimes in her
own carriage, and somtimes in his own phaeton.
He used frequently to dine with us up to July. On
the Friday in July he had invited Lady Sophia and
myself to dinner, he sent a note saying that impor-
tant business called him to Norwich, and he could
not see us. Never dined with him in Duke-
street. Was not at Felbrigg when he became of
age. Lady Sophia was there. I have had many
opportunities of seeing Mr. Windham. I am of
opinion that he is perfectly sane. I saw General
Windham on his return, and had a long conversa-
tion with him about Mr. Windham.

Mr. Chambers objected to any evidence of the
conversation.

The Master ruled the evidence could not be given.
Mr. Milward then proceeded to read a number of
letters from Mr. Windham to himself and Lady
Sophia. They extend over the period during which
he hal known Mr. Windham, and he believed all
the transactions referred to in the letters took place.
Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—l do not think
Mr. Windham insane or of weak intellect. He is
not so bright as he might be. I have never said he
was insane. I believe him to be of sound mind.

Mr. Chambers—Why, Mr. Giubelei, was it not
proposed that you should be one of his committee !

Mr. Giubelei—General Windham offered me and
Lady Sophia a bribe to become so.
Mr. Chambers—Mind, Mr. Giubelei, I will pro-
duce your own paper.

Mr. Karslake interposed, and objected to the
question being put, and it was not persisted in.

Cross examination continued—l never heard that
Lady Sophia had, through her solicitor, offered to
be one of the petitioners: Mr. Chapple was her
solicitor. Did not know Lady Sophia had made any
affidavit. I gave the solicitor my statement some
days ago. Mr. Windham, when in Paris with me,
spoke French tolerably well. He dined with us fre•
quently in May or June of last year. He used to come
about four times a week. He never said he was in the
habit of having champagne luncheons. It was in July
he last dined with me. Recollected seeing him at the
opera at the Lyceum with Miss Willoughby. Had
spoken to Mr. Windham about it, and told him that
I did not think his fortune would allow him to
take up with such a woman ; I had heard she was
living with somebody else, and told Mr. Windham
so. He appeared to know it. Never spoke to him
about her inferiority. At that time he had not
heard about a marriage. It was not until after-
wards I heard it. Went with him to Hampton races
in June last, and a friend spoke to him about the
lady, and told him "to take care." Was still of
of opinion that Mr. Windham was of sound mind.
He was very noisy and boisterous, more so than
most young men. He frequently got into a passion,
and at times used bad language. Should think him
as competent as most young men of his age.
Reexamined—When he got into a passion he
was always ready to apologise.
By a Juror—During May and June, when he
dined with us, he never seemed as if he had been
drinking much wine.

The inquiry was here adjourned until Monday.

THE TAILTIRE OF THE BILSTON

SAVEYGS BANK.

On Wednesday evening, a meeting of the deposi-
tors in the Bilston Savings Bank was held in Ft.
Mary's School-room, to receive a statement from
Mr. Tidd Pratt, who has made an examination of
the books.

Mr. Pratt said that, for the security of depositors,
somewhere about 1850, the Commissioners for the
Reduction of the National Debt made an order that
the trustees of every savings bank should send up
every week an account of all the money they had
received, and of all the money that they had
paid out. Such weekly return was to be
signed by the treasurer or actuary, and by the
manager who was in attendance at the time that
the transaction took place. He had searched the
day-book, but from August, 1852, tilt August, 1857,
the day-book was missing. From 1857 to 1861 he
had carefully examined every page, and he would
now state the result of that investigation. As he
had before said, weekly accounts were to be re-
turned. A few of these he had brought with him,
and they would at once show the way in which the
money had been abstracted. He found that the
accounts were, to a certain degree—he believed, on
reference to the day-book, everything would be
found to be—perfectly correct. Out of 1,400, 1,200
depositors had brought in their books, and he be-
lieved that hardly an error had been discovered.
Therefore, as far as keeping the accounts correctly
were concerned, the late actuary did that faithfully.
But, unfortunately, in making the weekly returns,
which ought to have been a check upon him, he did
not enter the money received, nor did he enter cor-
rectly the money he paid. In the statement dated
January Ist, 1859, the amount received was re-
turned at £234, which return (as also the others he
held in his hand) were, he should tell them, signed
with the signature of the actuary, and likewise of
a manager ; but, upon looking at the book of that
day, he found that the receipts, instead of being
£234, were £334. (Cries of " Shame," and sensa-
tion.) Therefore £lOO had been abstracted—only
£lOO on that day !—(Renewed sensation.) Again,
on the Bth of January, he found that the payments
were set down at £174, whereas they were only
£74, thus showing that he put another £lOO In his
pocket on that day. (Indignation.) On January
15th, 1859, the payments were returned £l5l,
whereas they were only £5l. On the 22d of
January the payments were alleged at £192, whilst
they were in reality only £142, the actuary on that
day abstracting only £5O. By the return dated
Jan. 29th, the receipts were set down at £lB3, and
the payments at £l4B, whereas the receipts should
have been £283, and the payments £4B, showing
that on that day he took £2OO.
Mr. GETTINGS,-£2OO in one day P

Mr. PRATT—Yes, £2OO in one day. (Expressions
of disgust.) On another date the weekly return
set down the receipts at £154, and the payments at
£243, but they should have been—the receipts,

£254, and the payments £43, showing that on that
day he abstracted £3OO. (Greet sensation.) He
sincerely believed that the whole of the defalcatiol:s
had taken place in this way, and that nobody but
the treasurer took any part in the transactions.
They dated back to September, 1858, and reached
on to March, 1861. Between September and No-
vember, 1858, £7OO was abstracted.
Mr. GETTINGS—X7OO in two months?

Mr. PRATT—Yes, £7OO in two months, (Indig-
nation.) In 1859, £l,OOO was abstracted ; in
1860, £900; and in 1861, up to the month of March,
£4OO. In March last year he (Mr. Pratt) gave a
lecture in that room on benefit societies, and ad-
verted to the loose way in which the accounts ot-Lhe
Bilston Savings Bank were being kept. It was
some satisfaction to him to know that from that
time not a single halfpenny had been abstracted—
(hear, hear)—and since the new trustees were ap-
pointed, in July, 1861, there had not been a single
day in which the accounts had not been perfectly
correct. (Cheers.) And it was certainly due to
those gentlemen, and likewise the actuary, that
this fraud was discovered. It was quite clear that
the manager could not have examined the accounts,
or he would not have signed the statements. The
last annual return that had been made, which was
for the year 1860, set down the number of deposi-
tors at 890, whereas they should have been, accord-
ing to the books which he had already examined,
1,295 ; and the balance to the credit of depositors at
£19,546 4s. 10d., whereas it should have been
£25,607 17s. 4d. That annual statement was signed
by two trustees and two managers, or by Mr.
Fletcher. Now, it is quite clear that the trustees
or managers who signed that document could not
have tested its accuracy before they did so. The
actual amount of cash invested in the hands
of the Commissioners for the Reduction of
the National Debt up to the 20th of No-
vember. 1861, on behalf of the depositors, was
£16,425 15s. 11d., which showed a deficiency of
£8,816 9s. 3d. Now, if there was nothing else to
realise that deficiency than the money actually in
the commissioners' hands, a clear dividend would
be shown of rather better than 12s. in the pound.
It had been stated that he had decided ,that the
trustees and managers were not responsible, and
that Mr. Fletcher could not be criminally prose-
cuted. He utterly denied having made any such
statements. His advice to the trustees now was
to pay 10s, in the pound as soon as possible. The
law officers of the Crown would be consulted
whether trustees and managers were liable. Cer-
tainly, if they were not legally they were morally
responsible for the money that was now deficient.
(Cheers.)
Thanks were then voted to Mr. Pratt, who im-
mediately afterwards left the room with certain of
the gentlemen who had accompanied him to the
meeting.
