Trollope, Anthony, 1815-1882

"Phineas Redux"

We intend to keep as little of what we know
from the public as possible, and do not hesitate to
acknowledge that we are debarred by an injunction of
the Vice-Chancellor from publishing a certain document
which would throw the clearest light upon the whole
circumstance. As soon as possible after the shot was
fired Mr. Finn went to work, and, as we think, by
misrepresentations, obtained the injunction early on
yesterday morning. We feel sure that it would not have
been granted had the transaction in Judd Street been at
the time known to the Vice-Chancellor in all its enormity.
Our hands are, of course, tied. The document in question
is still with us, but it is sacred. When called upon to
show it by any proper authority we shall be ready; but,
knowing what we do know, we should not be justified in
allowing the matter to sleep. In the meantime we call upon
those whose duty it is to preserve the public peace to
take the steps necessary for bringing the delinquents to
justice.
