stands, but I am not satisfied that I have been convicted
under any law. I have been four months in durance vile, and
vile durance it has been. The preachers tell us that hell is a
very bad place, and the devil a very bad boy, but he could not
hold a candle to old Price.

THE CHIEF BARON--You are trespassing very much upon a very
large indulgence. I must adopt a more decisive course if you
persevere.

HALPIN (laughing)--Well, my lord, I will say no more about the
old gorilla. The Crown officers have laid much stress upon
the fact that I have travelled under different names, and
therefore I was guilty of a great crime. I have precedent for
it when I read in the papers that some continental monarchs
travel under an assumed name, and I hear that the Prince of
Wales does so also when he thinks proper to go the London
brothels.

At this point the Court cut short his address, and Chief Baron Pigot
proceeded to pass sentence on the three prisoners.
