            must necessarily speak of our contention, that, in appointing an accuser, you may have
            some certain line of conduct to follow. I understand the matter thus, O judges:—when any
            man is accused of extortion, if there be a contest between any parties as to who may
            best be entrusted with the prosecution, these two points ought to be regarded most
            especially; first, whom they, to whom the injury is said to have been done, wish most to
            be their counsel; and secondly, whom he, who is accused of having done those injuries,
            would least wish to be so.</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
