there_o be_v several_a witness_n to_o several_a bribe_n the_o question_n now_o be_v whether_o he_o take_v bribe_n or_o no_o and_o these_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o general_a charge_n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o the_o judge_n that_o he_o do_v extort_v and_o take_v bribe_n the_o one_o witness_n speak_v to_o one_o bribe_n and_o another_o to_o another_o and_o in_o that_o case_n as_o two_o

tend_v to_o the_o same_o general_a charge_n of_o bribery_n these_o be_v take_v for_o plural_a witness_n and_o that_o be_v a_o good_a conviction_n that_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n then_o i_o mention_v this_o case_n only_o for_o a_o instance_n to_o express_v myself_o in_o this_o for_o mr._n love_n can_v expect_v that_o to_o every_o particular_a thing_n lay_v to_o his_o charge_n two_o
