Such a supposition were intolerable! We do not in this country deprive a class of citizens of their ordinary rights, we do not place their produce under the irresponsible control of one not amenable to Law, by any sort of political accident! That would indeed be to laugh at Justice in this Kingdom! That would indeed be cynical and unsound!
God said at last to him 'Go! because it was the best way to teach him what a fool he had been in wanting to go.

The delegates who went to Mr. Chappell seem to be amenable to the law and get-at-able. This will be done.
