After a trial at Bar, in which he was defended by Curran, he was found guilty, was sentenced to pay a fine of £500, to be imprisoned for two years, and at the end of this time to give security for his good behaviour for seven years, himself in £2000 and two sureties in £1000 each.
Сторінка 233 - It grew with equal advances in the mind of each. It would have been impossible for the most minute observer to have said who was before and who was after.
