he added . `` Here is no place ! Off with him to my house . I will number every joint of thy body with a torture . '' But Dick , putting off his captors , uplifted his voice . `` Sanctuary ! '' he shouted . `` Sanctuary ! Ho , there , my fathers ! They would drag me from the church ! '' `` From the church thou hast defiled with murder , boy , '' added a tall man , magnificently dressed . `` On what probation ? '' cried Dick . `` They do accuse me , indeed , of some complicity , but have not proved one tittle . I was , in truth , a suitor for this damsel 's hand ; and she , I will be bold to say it , repaid my suit with favour . But what then ? To love a maid is no offence , I trow -- nay , nor to gain her love . In all else , I stand here free from guiltiness . '' There was a murmur of approval among the bystanders , so boldly Dick declared his innocence ; but at the same time a throng of accusers arose upon the other side , crying how he had been found last night in Sir Daniel 's house , how he wore a sacrilegious disguise ; and in the midst of the babel , Sir Oliver indicated Lawless , both by voice and gesture , as accomplice to the fact . He , in his turn , was dragged from his seat and set beside his leader .
The feelings of the crowd rose high on either side , and while some XXXXX the prisoners to and fro to favour their escape , others cursed and struck them with their fists .
