To return to Dr. Murray’s Exeter Hall tirade :— “ Faith, sir, save your threats; The hug, which you would fright me with, I seek, I tell you. 'Tis Rigour, and not Law. “ There hath been much to do on both Sides; and the nation holds it no sin, To urge them on to controversy. ” “ When two authorities are up, Neither supreme, how soon confusion May enter ’twixt the gap of both, and take The one by the other!”—Shakspeare. “ There has been much throwing about of brains.” Shakspeare. He could not surely mean me, when he said, “ Or to him who kills after another fashion.” If he does, “ I plead Not Guilty : my integrity Being counted falsehood, shall, as I express it. Be so received. But thus, if powers divine Behold our human actions (as they do), T doubt not then, but innocence shall make False accusation blush, and tyranny Tremble at patience.” Shakspeare.
