“He demanded money, he exacted it, he seized it by violence, he extorted
it.” If the accuser proves all that by the accounts, since the way in which the
accounts are made up show the regular series and order in which he transacted his affairs, I
will attend carefully, and I will consider how I am to proceed in conducting the defence. If
you rely on witnesses, (I will not insist upon their being good and respectable men, as long
as they are men of whom it is known who they are,) then I will consider how I am to struggle
with each of them separately.
