Well, then,
since the woman was not present with you at that time and the boxes had
previously been sealed, did you at any time afterward bring her into the
market-place or before the court? For if she was not present with you at that
time, you surely ought to have delivered her up afterwards, and to have called
witnesses to prove that you were willing to have the test made by the woman's
evidence in accordance with the challenge which you had tendered, as your
challenge had been put in the box, and a deposition stating that you were ready
to deliver her up. Well then, when you were on the point of entering upon the
trial, did you ever bring the woman before the court?
