He was now solemnly impeached; and his trial in December 1680 mustered the whole staff of informers to prove the truth of a Catholic conspiracy against the king and the realm. The evidence was worthless; but the trial revived, as Shaftesbury had hoped, much of the old panic, and the condemnation of the prisoner by a majority of his peers was followed by his death on the scaffold.

In the condemnation of illustrious Romans the senate was always prepared to confound, at the will of their masters, the judicial and legislative powers.

Then you really believe that the principle which "our fathers who framed the Government under which we live" thought so clearly right as to adopt it, and indorse it again and again, upon their official oaths, is in fact so clearly wrong as to demand your condemnation without a moment's consideration.

"I think you've been brought here on a wild goose chase, doctor," said she, "there is nothing the matter with my niece." Here he looked at Miss Vivian to the imminent peril of his self-control.

Cousin Maud called it her darling's condemnation supper.

The stalls are remarkably frigid, though, on the other hand, they never, or hardly ever, show any active signs of disapproval.

It filled Great Britain with wild, exaggerated, and unjust condemnation of Paul Jones, who has been looked upon for more than a hundred years, and is even to-day in England, by sober historians, as a bloody-handed, desperate buccaneer.

They listen eagerly to the appeal for the 'solidarity' of their class.
