He wept like an old man. He wept for everything at which he had ever laughed. He paid off arrears. Man is never nonsuited when he pleads his right to tears. The corpse they had just buried was Hardquanonne's; but Ursus could not know that. The hours crept on. Day began to break. The pale clothing of the morning was spread out, dimly creased with shadow, over the bowling-green.
He knew that Hotchkiss would at once lay the matter before rival counsel. He knew that they would advise him that Miss Hooker had "no case" that she would be nonsuited on her own evidence, and he ought not to compromise, but be ready to stand trial.
John Randel, Jr., had ruined a fine engineer, to become a litigious man all his life. He sued his successor and fellow New-Yorker, Engineer Wright, and was nonsuited.
We'll do that after we've tied up his bank account." "But when we get into court we'll be nonsuited because we didn't do that first." "I sincerely hope so.
So at least he stated in his declaration, in the action against Lowe, in which he, or rather his attorney, was nonsuited, with grievous loss of costs.

Thus, in the case that was the most exclaimed against as "an injustice to natives," his client, Puaauli, was certainly nonsuited. But in that intricate affair who lost the money? The German firm. And who got the land? Other natives. To twist such a decision into evidence, either of a prejudice against Samoans or a partiality to whites, is to keep one eye shut and have the other bandaged.

This seasonable supply enabled our hero to stand trial with his adversary, who was nonsuited, and also to mend his external appearance, which of late had not been extremely magnificent.
