conduct this man's defence, and will denounce my conduct of the embassy; and
then, if he leads you astray by his speech, he will go about in his conceited

from the question; filched the whole case from them, and came off triumphant.'

issue. You had your opportunity of denouncing and saying what you chose when you
were the prosecutor.
