Pàgina 68 - ... the knife, the only weapon near him, to defend himself ; and the terrors he discovered, were merely the terrors of humanity, the natural effects of innocence as well as guilt, on beholding such a horrid scene. This defence, however, could be considered but as weak, contrasted with the several powerful circumstances against him. Never was circumstantial evidence more strong ! There was little need...
Pàgina 40 - There being such a person as Hughes, I am clearly of opinion that he ought to have been joined as a partner. He is to be considered in all respects a partner, as between himself and the rest of the world.
