'The man himself told you his opinion of renegade Whigs. 'Renegade! 'Renegade Whig is an actionable phrase, Mr. Culbrett observed. He was unnoticed. 'If you don't like "renegade," take "dead," said Beauchamp. 'Dead Whig resurgent in the Tory. You are dead. 'It's the stupid conceit of your party thinks that. 'Dead, my dear Mr. Lespel.
"Not a cent!" snarled the lawyer; and he slammed the door behind him, and went heavily down the stairs. "I wonder how it feels to punch a man's head," said Simon, as he stood rooted to the spot where Mr. Latitat left him. "It's illegal it's actionable there are fines and penalties provided by the statute: but it seems as if there were cases that might justify the operation morally.
Take again the law of ancient lights in England. An obstruction to be actionable must be substantial. Under ordinary circumstances the erection of a structure a hundred yards off, and one foot above the ground, would not be actionable. One within a foot of the window, and covering it, would be, without any finding of a jury beyond these facts.
But are you aware, sir, that already my son has had her company, alone, at midnight, on your grounds; all others retired; she alone watching, with Claude Montigny and the broad, full moon?" "An actionable moon," exclaimed the lawyer, "and a decided case of lunacy against the lovers.
In a short time he rose, bathed his head and face in cold water, and began to dress for dinner. And as he stood before the glass he smiled at the restored color and calm of his countenance. "You are a prudent lawyer," he said sarcastically. "How many actionable words have you just uttered!

We'll say naught about this rape of the door-lock, though 'tis actionable, sir, and I'll warn you the law would make you smart finely for it.
And to the legal mind what was not actionable was irrelevant. But for Lucia, to whom at the moment material things were unrealities, the burning question was the honesty or dishonesty of Rickman; for it involved the loyalty or disloyalty, or rather, the ardour or the indifference of Horace.
Even this one exception, alone would suffice to set the indictment aside; viz., that no objection is taken to any given passage in which the specified offense is alleged to occur; so that the prosecution proceeds wholely on an allegation of bias, and in the baldest manner. The indictment runs against a bias; that is all. But a bias is not actionable.
"Your plan is a very clumsy one. Let me suggest to you, young man, that threats for the purpose of extorting money are actionable." "Do you doubt my identity?" "You may very probably be the person you claim to be, but that won't save you." "Very well. You have conceded one point." He walked quietly to the door of the adjoining room, opened it, and in a distinct voice called "James Travers."
As for the fine lady who lets her children do as they can, while she trims her bonnet, or makes panniers, I wouldn't be introduced to her on any account. But as some might think it was unjustifiable curiosity on my part to see these things, and an actionable offence to speak of them, I won't mention them.
