And then, in spite of protestations to the contrary, behold! the corpus delicti that unlucky crock of gold, actually in the man's possession, and the fragment of shawl was not that sufficient? Jonathan Floyd in open court had been base enough to accuse Mr. Jennings of the murder. Mr.
"My master had a long black mole on his forehead," suggested Caroline Ryder. "'Tis here!" cried a juryman, bending over the remains. And now they all gathered in great excitement round the corpus delicti; and there, sure enough, was a long black mole. Then was there a buzz of pity for Griffith Gaunt, followed by a stern murmur of execration.
Were you wearing one or more roses of the general hue and device of those now displayed in your cheeks?" "The honorable court has nothing to do with my face," said the witness defiantly. "On the contrary, your face is the corpus delicti. Did you, taking advantage of the unconscious and hence defenseless condition of my client, that is, of Mr. Martin Dyke, lean over him and deliberately imprint a "
And if she had not worn it, how did it get in the water? The newspapers were full of the Ladley case, with its curious solution and many surprises. It was considered unique in many ways. Mr. Pitman had always read all the murder trials, and used to talk about the corpus delicti and writs of habeas corpus corpus being the legal way, I believe, of spelling corpse.
The friendship of the unrighteous is never of long duration; the two worthies had it seems quarrelled in prison; Candelas having accused the other of bad faith and an undue appropriation to his own use of the corpus delicti in various robberies which they had committed in company.

I very well understand what is meant by corpus delicti, and so does every other lord; it is universally known to mean the body of an offence; but as to the words corpus suspicionis, I do not comprehend what they mean: it is an expression, indeed, which I never before heard, and can signify, in my apprehension, nothing more than the body of a shadow, the substance of something which is itself nothing.
Presently there were more footsteps along the hall; then voices; then drawing of bolts and creaking of locks; then utter darkness, then silence lasting, terrible, profound. The house had gone to bed; the house would quickly be asleep; it was time to be up and doing. But first and foremost, I must get rid of the plate. Without that hideous corpus delicti, I should have some chance.
How bring their murderers to justice without proof of the "corpus delicti"? Could this dying man know other facts furnishing a clew to establish their deaths? Would it be right to harass him with further inquiry upon the verge of the tomb? Why employ his slender thread of life in unraveling this intricate web. Better point him to that hope which is the refuge of a sinful soul.
Gert Botha lifted the heavy sjambok which he usually carried, and struck the prisoner heavily over the bare head and face. A thick, grey wheal immediately followed the blow, but Maliwe did not even wince. "Jou verdomde parmantig schepsel," cried the irate Boer. "Ik neuk jou uit jou hartnakigheid." So Maliwe was marched, carrying the corpus delicti, in to the gaol.
