The Court opened at ten o'clock this morning, and immediately proceeded to business. Se, jeant PEI.L in continuation.--Ile could not re sume his speech without thanking the Jury for the exemplary attention they had paid to his observations of yesterday, and the best acknowledgment that he could make for such kindness would be to avoid any unhecessary preliminary matter, and to detain them only so long as should be absolutely neccsssary for the due and honest discharge of his duty to his noble but unfortunate client. Referring to the division of yesterday, of the last tiventy-four years of his Lord • ship's life iu;n three periods, he thought the opinion of the Lo r.' Chancellor at about the time of the con clusion cir -the' first period, that his Lordship's conduct up to that hour, however inconsistent it might be, was not such as to warrant or call for the issuing of a commission of lunacy—should have some tendency to correct, to guide, or, perhaps, rather to assist the Jury in enabling them to come to a correct conclusion upon this particular division - of the qnestion submit ted to their consideration :here, tou, - teniusivorreet the Common Serjeant in his ifserticmi'that'uchen his Loiddiip came to that deeision he had not hid the deed of 1799 before him ;the contrary viould bolo - Lind to be the fact, and his Lordship's ()Onion should there fore justly weigh' with thent with increased authority. In his observrans Spoil the avid*. he 'should - not feel himself justified in. oecuoying the th'ne of the Court dud Jury, by going through every minutiz of thavevidence; as it bore-Opon the first period, he had little to submit to them in additic to the deciCion of the Lord Chancellor in 1814 ; he.wished not to con ceal the fact, that, up to that period, bis--Lordship had been guilty of acts of weakness, of folly, of de-' gradation (as in regard to his . Loidship's rank) ; but when they had heard the Witnesseihesliould call before them, they would notthey could not say that any of his Lordships acts were those of an insane person. He DOW came to the sectoad fieriod, Viz.' iliat from his Lerchhip'iniarriaa ° eto his arrival in Edinburgh ; and here a scene of the greatest depravity struck him with astonishment, at the base degradation to which human nature was sometimes subjected : a'Silfe, who should have been his protector—his guide—his so lace—subjecting him to correction—to stripes—to per sonal chastisement; in short, to a series of cruelty end ill-treatment the most inhuMan, and the least `justifiable; and yet, at these two places, which were the principal scenes of the oppression and injury, not one person had strfficient humanity to..acquaint Lord Grantley, or any of the other numerous friends of Lord Portsmouth, which at that time he. unquestion ably had, of the base and infamous conduct of the many, or the horrid suffering of this unfortunate Nobleman ; hut in all this time, he contended that Ilene of the acts of his Lordship ware of an Unsound nature; several weak, many silly, many foolish acts, but not one that could fairly be construed into a proof of the unsoundness of his mind, could be pointed • out as in the least degree conclusive. He might say with Dryden— " Some truth there is, but itash'd and brew'd with lies; i Succeeding times will equal folly call Believing nothing, and believing all." Proceeding to the third period, he could not hut advert - to the testimony of 'Mills; and here be could not but remark upon the obvious interest that witnesses ge••• nerally felt for the success of that cause in the sup port of which they were called in evidence; thence arose tiw bent which was , given to such testimony, and the di ffi culty of avoiuingan access that boidered iipon.untruth:. as stcrne says-.—" We take a planc, 'we put it in the: ground, we Water .it because we ;planted it."

The next witness Was the sleek Mr. Green, and he could not but observe, that he was a gentleman of a sallow face, of most demure countenance, of hair diagonally combed over his forehead and his ears, and when lie neard him al lude to the late Countess as a Lady of blessed me mory, the curtain was withdrawn, the truth came out ; and in a cross-examination, the witness acknow ledged himself to be a Wesleyan Methodist! The Learned Serjeant. dwelt very much on the altered and deteriorated state of Lord Portsmouth's mind since his return from Edinburgh, which he attri buted to the treatment Lord Portsmouth had received since that - Period. After he had been taken front . Edinburgh a fiabetsseerptis had been granted,and then Lord Portsmouth had been minutelyexamined by Mr. Justice'Bayley, who hadiecided that he had a will of his own, and must be allowed to go wherever he pleased. Lord Ports:nooth might even return, if he liked, to the misery from which he had escaped. This was so late as the Bth of July, 182'2. The Learned Counsel then examined Mr. Skirrow's evidertce, and shewed that the very attempt to persuade t Ird Portsmouth to leave Edinburgh was, on the part of the persons who attempted it, a proof that they were convinced of his Lordship's sanity. It had been said, " oppres , sion Will make a 'irise man mad."

The Learned :Setjeant, - after - sdrile itirtfiefabservations, called the 'following witnesses: The. first was ?slr. Thomas Prince, who stated that he was a solicitor of the firm of Palmer and France, Bedford-row; had the copy of a judgment obtained from the Crown Office, when a'person named Scilaz was found guilt, of attempting to extort money from Lord Portsmouth, and ant appearing to receive judgment be was outlawed ; was present at the trial in West minster 11411; Lord Portsmouth was the prosecuting party, be fore Lord Ellenborough and a Special Jury, Mr. Adam and blri Gime* were his Counsel ; Lord POrtanciath wai examined ; the Dean of Exeter was called to prove the hind writing of De fendant; his Lordship was examined by Baron Garrow, Justices Best and Ilurrough, and Lord Erskine, asrd cross-examined; the defendant was found guilty. •Cross:examined.—Lord Portsmouth had an impediment in his Speech. The defence was, that as Lord Porfsmboth owed bitt. the money, the defendant was only asking for his right. be fendant said his Lordship bad given him a bUnd or two for money. Lord Portsmouth was required to explain it. The questions -asked were as many as forty or fifty. Considered himself Lord . Portsmouth's Solicitor; had no special authority or written wards from his tordihip.

Conducted Lady Portsmouth's defence before ; hlr. Serjeant Cross took her Ladyship's affidavit ; did not attend Mr. Alder when he prepared her affidavit; did not prepare the affidavits of the Hanson family; Mr. Hanson prepared them himself; pre pared as many, he believed, as twenty affidavits; generally speak ing, prepared 'the affidavits in opposition to the Petition. There was an order for Lady l'ortsmouth's Solicitor to attend. Ire.examined.—Did not conduct this case for any other per son than Lord Portsmouth. By the JURT.—Was present during the whole of the trial. Lord Portsmouth conceived th:f moral turpitude of the crime of which be had been accused, and considered it a great indignity. His Lordship answered the questions respecting the bonds, shortly and clearly. bid not know whose hand-writing the bonds were ; had not had the honour of seeing Lord Portsmouth since 1816. Lord Portsmouth had an impediment in his speech when first witness knew him in 1801. In 1816, saw no visible change in his Lordship's intellect during: the whole of my communica tions'with him. Gave the Solicitors notice that we wished to see him, but were nut permitted. In July, went down Witlya writ of Habeas Corpus, at the suit of Mr. N. • Fratisoo ' to the house of Mr. Skirrow, but could apt see his. Lordship.
