[52]
If he declares that it is my possession in this sense, that
he reckons up what is in the hands of either of the trustees, it will be clear
that he accounts for only a third part, and still does not prove that I have
possession of it. For as I have convicted the defendant of having in his
possession the large amount I have stated, I shall also prove that each of them
has not less than he. This statement, therefore, will not help him. No; he must
show that either he or his fellow-trustees really handed the money over to me.
If he fails to prove this, why should you pay any attention to his challenge? He
still does not prove that I have the money.
