While the indictment was reading, and for a rrt time after, Lord Ranelagh stood at the table under the Bench, and then sat in the saute place till she trial was over. Mr. Kew opened the indictment, sad Mr. Asoi.rnus stated the case to the Jury. The case, he said, had so much of singularity in that they had seen a Nobleman of high cha and his servants, indicted for assaulting. money from, and imprisoning until the was unlawfully obtained, four Gentlemen respectability. He believed also that his Lordship evinced that liberality of feel since the transaction, which his exalted sta tion especially demanded, the care never would have come there. Lord Ranelagh was there to hear the truth spoken of his conduct. It was one of the glorious privileges of English law, that, the eye of it, all persons. from the peer to the peasant, were equal—and it would be unworthy iu liiinself to crouch before the rank of any man, or shrink from uttering what the interests of justice and of liis client requiters. The first prosecutor, Mr. Hall, junior, was as much • gentlemen, and sa much entitled to respect, as Lord Ranelagh Ile was a member of a laborious he believed, the same to which he himself belonged—the son of a .highly respected Minister of the Church of England, resident in Herefordshire, and his conduct had been that of a ottoman throughout. Mr. Adolphus then entered into a detail of the circumstances previous to and at Putney—the going down in a boat, taking shelter from a thunder storm, rencontre with Lord Ranelagh, and payment of the seven shillings to hie servant by his Lordship's direction. The latter be apposed his Lordship only meant as a revival of lb. iold bar • I proceedings, and levying of contrib.. hone. After Mr. Hall, lie proceeded, had par. ichaeed his ransom, and come to town, he wrote to Lord Ranelagh, raying, that though lie was fully 'conscious of the unjustifiable teeatmeres be sod friends had experienced, yet if his Lordship would :knowledge the injury done to him, and cruse the money to be refunded, the matter should there he dropped. To this no answer was sent—he applied . ] again, and vent the letter to Lord Bootleg,' by a private hand : still no answer was returned. On this his father was made acquainted with the transaction, and Caine to town ; lie applied at Bow-street, and a message was sent from that place to Lord Rant lat!h to attend on a d.y appointed ; be promised ; Nlr.

They replied, they were unwilling to issue a war taut, on account of the length of time which had elapsed since the occurrence, but that an indict. spent would probably procure effectual justice.— Mr. Hell did not know the names of the servants who hail assisted at the assault, and on applying to learn them, a wrong name had been given; the cousepience was, that the Prosecutors could only swear to one of the men at the bar, the man iii li very (Byrne) ; they had nothing to say against the other, and he might walk away if he thought proper. The CII 4 IRMAN then observed, that as there ap peared to be no evidence against Gregg, lie had better stand aside, and if wanted, he might be called. Gregg was accordingly removed from the bar, James Hell was then sworn and examined. Is the son of • Clergyman in Herefordshire, and a student in the office of Messrs.

He weut into the boat on some occa.. sion, and when he came out saw first one man ap proach the spot where they were; he was followed by two others, and three more came up from dif ferent parts of the ground ; one, whom he since un derstands to have been Lord Rauelegli, wit. armed with, a double-barrelled gun, another carried a pitchfork. and two others had bludgeons; the man with the pitchfot k stood on this right side of him and his companions. end he with the double-barrelled gun on his left. The loiter asked witness. what brought hint there.- he must knows lie was trespassing ? Witness answered, lie had come on shore for water ; he had 00l been aware that he was trespassing, and was very sorry for it. Lord Raitelagh said his grounds vere very much infested with thieves. Witness replied, that he was no such person, that he was • gentleman. and a student in the office of two very respectable solicitors.. Lord Rauelegli said his grounds were most iufcsted with well-dressed rogues. and that he slid not believe him. He seemed to be griwitig angry ; witness gave bun his card ; he could nut get to the boat. the person with the pitchfork intercepting his passage. On desiring to be al lowed to get auto the boat, Lord Rarielagli waived his arm to the men, and said, " No. no ; you shall not get otf so easily ; you .must attend my servants to Bow-street, and answer for your conduct there." Mines, replied, he was very willing to go there. He asked Mr. Waldo also who he was. who mid he was a gentleman, and referred him for a character to Mr. Scott, a Magistrate at Hammersmith.

A letter was then handed to witness, which he allowed to be in his hand-writing. Henry Waldo of the office of Morris and Co. Army Agents, being exa ;;; ; ied, corroborated the statement of the former witness, and added that Lord Rauelsgh observed to theist at first, that people used to come on his grounds to steal his flowers and break the branches of his trees, and that the clubs or bludgeons were of a tremendous size. John Legaul confirmed the testimony of the two former witnesses. He deposed farther, that Ins party were only about ten minutes under the tree, during the whole of which the rein continued. After leaving Lord Ranelagh's grounds they went to no public-house. The oars were not brought out of the boat at all. _ In answer to the Chairman—They did not laud for the purpose of rambling through the grounds, and did nut, in fact, do so. Is quire sure the mention of the money was made by Lord Rruthigh ; consi dered the payment of it as a necessary step towards abtainiug his liberty. The evidence for the prosecution having closed, Mr. ALLEY stated the case for the Deferidarits. He was sorry that the course pursued. by his Learned Friend for the prosecution was calculated to confound the different orders of society, on keeping up the distinctions between which. the general peace and prosperity so einitiently depended. He contended t h at Mr. Hall and his friends were four young trespassers, who, because they had re ceived a generous pardon from Lord Ranehigh, and experienced nothing but courtesy at his hands, thought proper to compose and send to him an atrocious libel against his character, which ought to hate brought them into Court as defendants in stead of prosecutors. He then read the first letter from Mr. Hall to Lord Ranelsgh. It stated the impropriety of surrounding him and his friend* with armed mere, merely for seeking shelter front a storm. that the fear of being turned adrift on die uri c alone prevented him refusing compliance with the unjust demand for money, which the writer had since the transaction been informed by his fiends could be considered in uo other light but actual robbery —and concluded with • request that the money would be returned, and a suitable apology made. otherwise • warrant would be applied for at Bow street against himself and his servants. It was signed James Hall." This. Mr. Alley contended, was a base libel, and he would recommend a young gentleman, in the language of Horace, *ape styles* verlere, to consider well before he sat clown and produced such • composition again—a composition which betrayed an utter ignorance of his profession, and only entitled him to the characier of a vain, foolish libeller. He should cull witnesses to prove that there was no rain whidever at the time—that the Prisoner at the bar was not the man who re ceived the money—and that ohatever money hail been received was a perfectly free gift, in acknow ledgment of the pulite behaviour of Lord Raise , lagh ; and, he trusted that it would then be seen. and that the verdict of the Jury world skew, that Lord Ranelagh was nut the man hr had been re preserited, who could violate the tights of hospita lity so fligrantly—who could rush upon and insuit the wuy-worn traveller, and practise extortion, which would scarcely disgrace the must utipria cipled.

This being the whole of the evidence for the &fence— Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury in reply. The terms of a vain, ignorant, plesumptuons hhel ler, and the Lord knows what, that had heti* ap plied by the Counsel on the other side to Mr. Hall, lie (Mr. Adolphus) threw back with indignation and contempt, fall where they bight—[Mr. Alley here standing up]—He (Mr. Adolphus) should not he prevented fr going on with his reinarka to the Jury. If any thing said by him was conceived to require personal explanation, every 511511 knew where he lived. Whatever eydections had been made to the indictment, it wan. drawu by a skilful lawyer and an able reporter-.-he meant Mr. Campbell.— He did nut mean any personal offence to Mr. Alley, but if what had fallen from him had unintentionally produced such an effect, that wits not the place to answer for it. The defence set up was, that a young gentleman had perjured himself-- Mr. ALLEY here observed, that lie had neither said nor insinuated that Mr. Hall had been guilty of perjury, but only that a falsehood respecting Gregg bud been sworn before theGratid Jury. Mr. ADOLPHUS repeated, that the whole principle nod tenor of the defence was, that thisyoung gentle man had sent for his respectable parent to the coun try to see hiaust II and kir two friends commit wilful perjury in opro Court. Ile animadverted on the fact of the servant* being sent to Norfolk out of the way, and argued that both the assault, false untwist, iiiii ent, and extortion, iu the legal sense of the words, had been proved. The CHAIRMAN, in his charge, said that any exaction was an extortion in the rye of the law. He was of opinion also thrt an shrub, in the legal sense of the words, and an tinjustifiAle impri sonment, bad been fully established by the evi dent* for the prosecution. It was the province of the Jury to determine whether they should give credit to it, or the witnesses fur the defence—both they could not believe. He thought it right to Ob. serve,• that any imputation did not in justice lie against en uOricate for expressions that might; in the Ingot of argument, escape him, particularly when lie followed the suggesticcis of his itestrietions ; aul in this case it was likely that every thing which came from the Counsel for the defence had been taken from his instructions. He felt it due alto to that gentleman to odd. tharneither he, nor the Gentlemen about him, understood him to say that the father of Mr. Hall had been brought to town fur the purpose of perjuring himself. Mr. ADOLPHUS disclaimed having imputed any such latigusge—and *mil lie knew Mr. Alley to lte too touch the gestation's' to suppose I • capable of it.
