[49]
just as though you were unaware of the law which declares a
man a debtor from the day on which the penalty has been imposed or on which he
has transgressed the law or the decree; or as if it were not clear to everybody
that there are many ways in which people who wish to obey the laws become
debtors to the treasury and meet the obligation. This is plain from the law
itself.Take this law again, please.“
Law
”Do you hear, you abominable beast, what
the statute says? “From the day on which the penalty shall be imposed
or on which he transgresses the law.”
