Hence followers who try to give practical effect to the doc- trines of the respondents become criminals. A peasant who, resisting eviction, smashes the face of a bailiff"; an evicted tenant who, to prevent the land he has quitted, and which belongs to his landlord, being re-let, intimidates or maims his neighbour; the well-to-do farmer who, to compel a reduction of rent, keeps in his own pocket, or transmits to the trustees of the Plan of Campaign, money due to his landlord ; the whole body of ...tenants who, by force, cling to their holdings (that is to say, keep possession of pro- perty which is not their own) may, by their action, serve the political end of a faction ; but they are acting for their private advantage, and can no more claim to be " political offenders " than the pickpocket who feeds him- self and his children from the proceeds of theft can pretend to the character of an energetic workman, resolved at all cost to keep his family off the parish. Nor, further, can the politicians who ground the success of a public cause upon the instigation of private wrong-doing, claim such moral immunities or privileges as may be conceded to rebellion.
