LORD RANELAGH and MR. ADOLNIUS.

The following is said to be a pretty accurate ac-
count of an occurrence that took place between 1-,Ord
RAWELAGH and Mr, Anoieuus, the day after thy
memorable trial at Hicks's which his L:Jrde
ship was convicted, and fined 1.750 for an asrattlt:-
111 r. linommus, who was sitting dune in his Chambers in the
Temple, heard a tap at the door or his study. He desired pie
person to walk in, and wa. immediately honoured with the
pTe-
sence of Lord ILszcIAJH ; who, upon being very civilly askol
to take a chair, told him that he had a fins, words to say to hint.
Air. Anus-emus isavist repeated his rel Lest that his Lordship

would be seated,
Lot d RANILIACIII said—" Sir, you were tulkinp of me for two
teen yesterday, and it p only fair that yea ~.1.,....11 heat me tell
may mind fur a little while ; I came to you for that purpose."
.Mr. ADQLTHUS observed, that he had not spoken to; or ef his
Lordship quite so burg.
0 Perhaps.unt, Sir," said his Lordship, " but I come to tell
you; that yobs yesterday proved yourself a coward, a' liar, and a
scoundrel. Your clients are all perjured. My servants told the
tenth, and you knew it."
Mr. Anotruns- very coally asked his Lordsblp, whether his
object in using such wards was to provoke him to light a duel"
Lord litaintissau replied in the affit native.
liir. AnelAtnes said, " he always considered that when a Nan
thought himself injured, and entettained an idea ok seeking ho-
nourable feriress, the usual course was to do so by written corn-.
municatioor or through the medium of a friend. In a immune
had he ever known _that a owl came to abuse another, under
pretence oT prtivoking him to go to the around." . .
•Ws Lordship was of *opinion, that there was areethii mode ,
demanding redress beside the two alluded to by WA. Adolphus,
and thought that resorted to by. him unerc,ptionable.
• -Mr. Anon:runs made Isis Lordship acqulAnted With a fact .
which his Lordship seemed to have had no td.:.t, namely,shat his
Lbrdship was under the roof of him to whom he addressed these
epithets. He• said be did not know whethbr be shOhld be roll
goough to su' his.Lorditip the intimation he seemed: teieepect,
or wheal& he should move the Court for a criminalinfotmation
ogainst him ; thilatter was the more probable course of die two '
but in the business he should be whoilf guided ky_his friends'.'
.spboon he should mention this very ceremmiolis ttnn,s4etion. I.
weamhe should think it more expedient tOdollie uttet, he pre-
slimed he Lordship would not deny the words he had just used.
" Certalitly not," said Lord Ranel:gh ; " ar.d for fear yeti
should forget them, I'll repeat that yo...ire a reward, a liar, and
a scoundrel !"
In the commeneeme..t of 'be convereatlondKr. Anotemn inid,
be had been induced, froth his respe'et to the rank of the &tea-
Oat, to omit phrase, that might have been snore closely adapted
he the subject of his speech than those he had used.
I Ills Lordship retired without heingat all ruffled, and seemed
tte perfectly satisbed at the part he bad taken In them businen.
Or. Apoirplus sat down to finish the busincsi which his Lord-
sbeip's visit bad interrupted ; a. -.d ti)eit mentioned the circumstance

had before deemed most worthy of seleedoq. He preferred a bill
