Valiant would have died for the truth without a murmur. But, with all that, Valiant had to learn a hard and a cruel lesson.

He had to take home the terrible discovery that no man had hurt the truth so much as he had done.

Seized after a desperate resistance, he was wounded wellnigh to death, and Briscoe quoted a dozen precedents to prove that he was unfit to be tried or hanged. Argument failing, the munificent Clerk offered fifty pounds for the life of his friend.
