The inquiry WAS conducted with closed doors, but the facts of the case are saitilo be as follows —About seven years ago, William Frederick Windham, of Fellbrigg Hall, Norfolk, became, by tAie death of his tether, a ward in Chancery, and heir to vast estates. The value of the Fellbrigg llall estate is immense, and in addition to this Mr. Windham is heir to an adjoining estate, now in Chancery, producing about £12,000 a year, but which he is not to come into until he arrives at the age of 28. The next heir to this latter property is his uncle, Major-GeneraLeharlue Ash() Windham. It is understood that with this uncle and other relatives Mr. W. F. Windham was not on the best tern* and that, therefore, he determined to bar the entail, in order that none of the property should pass into their hands. He accordingly gave orders to his solicitor, and a deed was drawn up carrying the object into effect. Previously to this he had formed the acquaintance of a young lady whom he intended to make his wife. And now begins the extraordinary part of the affair. Al BOOR as the proposed marriage became known to his uncle that gentleman took proceedings in Chancery in order to prevent it, and obtained, it is said, an oikler forbidding the union. The order, however, was issued just a day too late. Mr. William Frederick Windham Was married to Agnes Anne Rogers, the lady in question, on the 30th August last, at St. John's Wood Church. At this juncture the fact appears to have suggested itself that Mr. William Frederick Windham was insane, and forthwith it was determined to issue a commission in lunacy. He seems to have paid but little attention to this until one day an unknown gentleman called at his town residence, and entered into a conversation with him in such an ambiguous manner that he asas at aloes to discover its meaning. He found out at last that the stranger was a "mad doctor," who had been sent with the express object of signing a certificate of his insanity! Upon this he determined to have the state of his mental faculties placed beyond all dispute, and for that purpose called in several eminent medical men, and subjected himself to their examination.
