[34]
It is the
part of a sagacious judge, from small circumstances to form his opinion of every
man's covetousness or incontinence. And will any one believe that this man when
praetor, was able to keep either his covetousness or his hands from the plate of the
Sicilians, when, though a defendant, and a defendant within two days of judgment, a
man in reality, and in the opinion of all men as good as already condemned, he could
not in a large assembly restrain himself from handling and examining the plate of
Lucius Sisenna?
