Should the plaintiff not be able to substantiate his charge, the fine then falls upon himself for having maliciously arraigned his companion ; a mode of practice which is marked with the features of sound policy, as it never loses sight of the good of the chapel.
Side 141 - The women rode about, sitting two and three upon an ass, pushed their way through the crowd, smoked with great delight, and coquetted with their sweethearts.
