The English view of the restrictions upon British subjects was thus pointed out: "British subjects may not in any way aid, abet, or assist the South African Republic or the Orange Free State in the prosecution of hostilities, nor carry on any trade with, nor supply any goods, wares or merchandise to either of those Republics or to any person resident therein, nor supply any goods, wares, or merchandise to any person for transmission to either Republic, or to any person resident there, nor carry any goods or wares destined for either of the Republics or for any person resident therein."
He had happily discovered a young and rich lieutenant of his father's company, and was trying to persuade him to bid in the mare for him. "But, my dear boy," Lieutenant Thicker exclaimed, "what do you suppose the captain will say to me if I aid and abet his son in defying the paternal authority?" "Oh, you needn't bother about that," Erik rejoined eagerly.
It was this dominant, dauntless, resourceful, political nabob that Hamilton knew he must conquer single-handed, if he conquered him at all; for his lieutenants, able as they were, could only second and abet him; they had none of his fertility of resource.
He therefore sturdily refused to aid or abet Saint Croix in any such unrighteous undertaking; and we passed the night instead upon a small islet whereon there was nothing more formidable than a few water-fowl and a flock of green parrots to dispute our landing.

If this was a crime, Monsieur, I am ready to take the blame for it upon myself, for I alone committed it." "It certainly was criminal, Monsieur; criminal in you, at any rate you who are a man of weight, respected for your talent and your character to aid and abet in a frivolous love-affair." "It was the deepest and most honorable sentiment, Monsieur." "A blaze of straw!" "Nothing of the sort!"
There was much more discussion among the learned conclave, all of which, of course, ended in obedience to the archdeacon's commands.
