But, being the son of one of the main props of the Whigs, Mr. Tom went unpunished for his father's sake. He was not uncondemned. Up to 1774, the times that Mr. Swain mentioned his son to me might be counted on the fingers of one hand.
At length the door opened, and a ruffianly-looking fellow appeared carrying a jug of water and a loaf of coarse bread for coarse it seemed, even by the light of the dim lantern which he bore in his hand. "This is but poor fare for prisoners uncondemned," I observed. "Could you not, friend, obtain us something better?"
"But Paul said unto them, they have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? Nay, verily: but let them come themselves and fetch us out." I then bowed to the juez, who shrugged his shoulders and took snuff.

Its philosophical significance was infinitely more momentous than the dogmas that these persons were quarreling about.
The expenses, which were heavy, were all defrayed out of the uncondemned prize-money remaining on board, this rightfully belonging to the officers and seamen, as never having had their previous claims satisfied by the Government, on which account it had been retained.
I have only to add that I have thought it advisable, after what has now occurred, to intimate to the United States Consul that we should probably be under the necessity of adopting similar measures in the event of an uncondemned prize being fitted for cruising, and brought into one of our ports by a Federal ship of war.
