But secondly, not to use a plea which might be
thought to savour of rigoud, I make this answer, which is a
short one. Let Lord Spencer give me in any account of money

question, but on the ground of honour, liberality, or favour? —

none. He was offered favour, he was offered an extra price: but
he would not listen to it: four hundred pound for prompt possession

justice. Strict justice therefore & no more is what he ought
