[26]
Do you demand this, when Micon, against whom Theocrines
filed his denunciation but did not proceed with it, has given evidence before
us, and has made himself responsible to these jurors?—when the
secretary acknowledges that he received the denunciation from the defendant, and
has been made responsible by the deposition which was read a little while
ago?—when, furthermore, the overseers of the port have, unwillingly,
to be sure, yet nevertheless, given the same testimony as the others?-and when,
in addition to all this, testimony is given, as you heard a little while ago, by
those who saw the denunciation exposed to public view, and who went before the
magistrates?” No; men of the jury, that would not be right.
