[164]
And yet, even at that time, as we are
told, no man who had concealed himself in his own house was deprived of his
security; indeed, the particular charge brought against the Thirty is that they
wrongfully carried men to jail from the market-place. But these men carried
their atrocity to far greater lengths than that, insomuch that, under democratic
government, they made every man's house his prison, bringing the police into our
very homes.
