| Evidence: | 'Monday Oct. 29th. [...] The following passage is from Thistlewood's Defence
'A few hours hence and I shall be no more; but the nightly breeze which will whistle over the
silent grave that shall protect me from its keenness, will bear to your restless pillow the
memory of one who lived but for his country -- and died when liberty and justice had been
driven from its confines by a set of wretches.' |
