To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the first day's proceedings I ceased to take any great interest in the case, for it was clear that Mr. Justice Henn had decided on a conviction; and in a convic- tion, or rather in a confirmation of the earlier sen- tence, the trial resulted. -^ All that was doubtful was ^ Lord Eversley, who was present at the trial, thus described it at the time in his "Incidents of Coercion": "Mr. Henn, the County Court Judge, has been long on the Bench. His reputa- tion among the tenants is of the wors...t. ... At Portumna he has always been lodged and fed at the cost of Lord Clanricarde. . . . The impression left on my mind by the long proceedings in the case now before him was that he was completely under the in- fluence of the Crown lawyers; almost without exception he fol- lowed their direction or suggestion in the various legal points which came before him. . . . Nothing could be more bitter than the tone of these representatives of the Crown towards Mr. Blunt. Every particle of evidence which could be scraped together to connect him with proceedings of a more doubtful legal character and with more violent persons was adduced and was admitted by the judge, while everything throwing light upon his objects and intentions, and every point of evidence bearing on the conduct of Lord Clanricarde and the eviction of his tenants was rigidly ex- cluded.
