But that I find a most ridiculous and false explanation seem to mislead some men in that point: Say they, by the word counsel is understood, such bills as are before the grand jury and the evidence the prosecutors for the crown have to support the charge against the subject Lest that being known the party indictable may fly from justice, or he may procure false witnesses to discredit the evidence for the king, or he may by bribes and other indirect measures take off the witnesses for the crown.
Straight contended that the good intentions of a publisher could not be taken as proving that a book was not indictable, and laid stress on the cheapness of the work, "the price charged is so little as sixpence". Mr.
But in the telegrams to Sir Evelyn Baring and Mr Egerton, which the Government never dared to publish, and which are still an official secret, he laid great stress on this point, and on Sir Evelyn Baring's message forbidding him to retire to the Equator, so that, if he sought safety in that direction, he would be indictable on a charge of desertion.

'Is their peace nothing, sir? returned Dick. 'I don't wish to hold out any threats, sir indeed the law does not allow of threats, for to threaten is an indictable offence but if ever you do that again, take care you're not sat upon by the coroner and buried in a cross road before you wake.
Actually, almost inevitably this person has committed a huge mass of secret crimes, viciousness and betrayals, rarely indictable felonious acts, but crimes none the less, disreputable deeds that must be kept secret.
Wheeler came in, read the letter, and said the last suggestion in it was a libel, and an indictable one into the bargain. "What, if it is true true to the letter?" "Even then you would not be safe, unless you could prove it by disinterested witnesses." "Well, if I cannot, I consent to cut this sentence out. Excuse me one minute, I must put a few things in my carpetbag." "What! going away?"
