which his sensibility and delicacy kept back to
the last moment, and which he was obliged at
last to confess n order to get back you forced
him to confess at last before you would so much as
repay him the money he had laid out for you?
I ask once more what recompense you propose
to make to him? The answer is. not one
single farthing. he tells you his distress: you
take it into consideration contemplation; and, by way of extricating
him from him it, offer him - what? 500 guineas
200, 100, 50 guineas? no nor twenty neither
nor ten, nor half of one: but a loan of
twenty guineas for twenty weeks perhaps, or
for twenty days, if justice and gratitude and compassion sensibility
should so long live. Sir, give me leave to let me tell you
an English Jury wouldwill not weigh the matter such service with
such scales.
