[65]
I could mention many others who on various grounds have
quarrelled with their neighbors, but I have never seen or heard of anyone who
carried his insolence so far as to behave like this. And I am quite sure that no
one here can recall any case where a man, involved in a public or private
dispute, has taken his stand beside the umpires while they were being named, or
dictated the oath when they were being sworn, or paraded his hostility on any
such occasion.
