At last, effectually to intimidate all those of the opposite party, he by great rewards prevailed upon Vettius to declare, that he had been solicited by certain persons to assassinate Pompey; and when he was brought before the rostra to name those who had been concerted between them, after naming one or two to no purpose, not without great suspicion of subornation, Caesar, despairing of success in this rash stratagem, is supposed to have taken off his informer by poison.
Cornelius O'Devany, a Franciscan, who had been appointed Bishop of Down and Connor , was arrested together with a priest who accompanied him, was tried in Dublin, and was hanged, drawn, and quartered .

I see how it could be turned against them! Go!" "No, no; I am not equal to it! Will you manage it? will you? Half my estate! all! Take it: but save " "Tut!" interrupted Lord Lilburne, in great disdain. "I am as rich as I want to be. Money does not bribe me. I manage this! I! Lord Lilburne. I! Why, if found out, it is subornation of witnesses. It is exposure it is dishonour it is ruin. What then?
Now mark me, when Lentulus comes hither, they must accuse to him Paullus Cæcilius Arvina, whose person, if they know him not, you must describe to them—him who dined with me, you know, the day before yesterday—of subornation to commit murder.
