The Attorney-General then applied for a postponement of my trial to the following Assizes, alleging that I was the author of a seditious and blasphemous publication. I said the statement was false, and that the Attorney-General had no right to make such a charge against me, and added that to ask a postponement after I and my witnesses had been waiting there eleven days, was most unreasonable.
Maxley picked up his letter and watched Dodd into the bank again and reflected on his work. His heart was warmed at having made a return to the good captain. His head suggested that he was on the road which leads to libel. But he had picked up at the assizes a smattering of the law of evidence; so he coolly tore the letter in pieces.
She stayed in Jedburgh town, in an old house in Queen Street came for assizes, I think. Then, while she was there, bored to death, she heard that Bothwell was 'sick of a wound' at Hermitage Castle, over twenty miles distant. In an hour she was on her palfrey and off to see him, falling into a morass on the way.
They're painful. Are you and your partner, Mr. Mallalieu, the same persons as the Chidforth and Mallows who were prosecuted for fraud at Wilchester Assizes in 1881 and sentenced to two years' imprisonment?" Cotherstone neither started nor flinched. There was no sign of weakness nor of hesitation about him now.
Is he also writing books under the direction of the Archduke Rudolph?" "No! no! Ferency Szilogyi is president of the court of assizes, and a very good magistrate he is." "He! an hussar?" "Oh! the world changes! His uniform sleeps in some chest, preserved in camphor. Szilogyi has only one fault: he is too strongly anti-Semitic." "He! a Liberal?"
Population 33,738. The Assizes for Devonshire are held at Exeter in the spring and summer." "Is that all?" asked Lucilla. I shut the book, and answered, like Finch's boy, in three monosyllabic words: "That is all." Candlelight View of the Man THERE had been barely light enough left for me to read by. Zillah lit the candles and drew the curtains.
Nedda murmured helplessly: "It's only a month now to the assizes. Does Mr. Pogram come to see you?" "Yes, he comes. He can't do nothin'!" "Oh, don't despair! Even if they don't acquit you, it'll soon be over. Don't despair!" And she stole her hand out and timidly touched his arm. She felt her heart turning over and over, he looked so sad. He said in that stumbling, thick voice: "Thank you kindly.
Winter turned and gazed through the open window. Seldom had a more gracious June decked England with garlands. The hour was then high noon, and a pastoral landscape was drowned in sunshine. The Chief Inspector cut the end off a cigar dreamily but with care. "Broadmoor perhaps," he muttered. "But we can't hang him yet, Charles. A couple of knots and a theory won't do for the Assizes.
For some weeks I was confined to bed, and not till six months had elapsed was I discharged. An event took place during my second sojourn in the hospital which caused much excitement among the prisoners. This was the stabbing of a Scripture-reader by one of the patients. The case was afterwards disposed of at the Assizes, and the culprit was sentenced to five years' penal servitude.
To be summoned to sit on a jury at the local assizes, and not even the grand jury at that! It was in the nature of an outrage.
