Assuredly not, brother.
Nor is he himself under the charge?
The remark is proper, said Burroughs. I am aware of all you would say. I have no right perhaps to open my mouth—
No right, perhaps?—no right brother B., said Winthrop—no right, we believe?—but—if the prosecutors will suffer it?—why, why—we have no objection, I suppose—I am sure—have we brother G.?
None at all. What say you Mr. Attorney-general?
Say Sir! What do I say Sir! why Sir, I say Sir, that such a thing was never heard of before! and I say Sir, that it is against all rule Sir! If the accused require counsel, the court have power to assign her suitable counsel—such counsel to be of the law, Sir!—and being of the law Sir, he would have no right Sir, you understand Sir,—no right Sir—to address the jury, Sir—as you did the other day Sir—in Rex versus Good, Sir,—none at all Sir!
Indeed—what may such counsel do then?
Do Sir! do!—why Sir, he may cross-examine the witnesses.
Really!
To be sure he may Sir! and what is more, he may argue points of law to the court if need be.
