Father Sheehy had long been fixed upon as their victim: largely connected with the minor gentry, educated in France, young, popular, eloquent and energetic, a stern denouncer of the licentious lives of the squires, and of the exacting tithes of the parsons, he was particularly obnoxious. In 1763 he was arrested on a charge of high treason, for drilling and enrolling Whiteboys, but was acquitted.
But the man killed was Dr. Stark, a strong opponent of the Chamberlain policy, and a vigorous denouncer of the war's injustice. The havoc of the siege is gradually increasing, and the prospect of relief grows more and more distant.
Rather than uphold them as a Crown officer, Otis resigned his post of Advocate-General, and became a fervent pleader of the popular cause and denouncer of the legal processes by which the Crown sought to impose, with its authority, its obnoxious trammellings and restrictions without the consent of and in defiance of the inalienable rights of the American people.
He became the Protestant champion, the denouncer of such acts as that of the Pope in dividing England into Roman Catholic sees and naming Cardinal Wiseman Archbishop of Westminster, and the pugnacious foe of 'French domination. His activities did not tend to draw French and English closer together.
Audley," the physician added hurriedly, "my time was up ten minutes ago; it is as much as I shall do to catch the train." Robert Audley sat alone in the library with the physician's letter upon the table before him, thinking of the work which was still to be done. The young barrister had constituted himself the denouncer of this wretched woman. He had been her judge; and he was now her jailer.

It is certain that having discovered that the Countess Olga was enceinte, he had the barbarity to become her denouncer; and that letter which announced to Count Kostia his dishonor, that letter which made him return from Paris like a thunder-clap, that letter in short which caused the death of Olga Vassilievna, was written by him Vladimir Paulitch."
Nash, the acute and learned author of Taliesin, or the Bards and Druids of Britain, a 'Celt-hater. 'He is a denouncer, says Lord Strangford in a note on this expression, 'of Celtic extravagance, that is all; he is an anti-Philocelt, a very different thing from an anti-Celt, and quite indispensable in scientific inquiry.
Even the Senators of the party catch the spirit of revolt; and the very godfather of the Kansas scheme, its most efficient advocate, the leading and organizing mind of it, has become the strongest opponent and bitterest denouncer of the policy which directs its execution. In this view of the case, may we not ask whether this base and cruel attempt at subduing Kansas has not gone far enough?
"Die then in thy obstinacy, miserable woman," cried the Ober-Amtmann in a suppressed voice "Let justice take its course!" "Denouncer!" said the chief schreiber to the witchfinder, "hast thou further evidence to offer?" "Needs it more to convict a criminal of the foul and infernal practices of witchcraft?" cried Black Claus with bitterness.
