I must say that I look to another place,
another government, and another people to see that justice
shall be done me.
THE CHIEF BARON--Here again you are transcending the limits
which the law allows. We could not deal with any consideration
connected with what any government will do.
HALPIN--I am aware that it is not within your province to deal
with the acts of another government, but I may be permitted to
say this--that the outrages offered me and those gentlemen who
claim, like me, to be citizens of the United States will be
gladly submitted to if they only have the effect of making the
sword of Brother Jonathan spring from its scabbard.
THE CHIEF BARON--I cannot suffer you to proceed with this line
of observation. I cannot suffer to make this a place of appeal
to persons in this country or in America.
HALPIN--I am not making any appeal to any man. Although I was
found guilty by a jury of this court I deem my conduct above
reproach. I know how I have been convicted, and will still
assert that the first gun fired in anger between this country
and America will be a knell of comfort to my ears.
THE CHIEF BARON--I will be compelled to remove you from where
you are now if you proceed with this line of observation.
