[Job Gregson has been arrested and locked up in the town jail]Sir Charles Maulver: I issued the constable with a warrant for this arrest. The offence brought to me was robbery with violence. The man will be tried for that and found guilty.Lady Ludlow: He's guilty of poaching - and nothing more.Sir Charles Maulver: And nothing less. I'm plagued by poachers too, and they're all vagabonds. Vagabonds can be sentenced purely for their way of life - no specific crime is required. That, Lady Ludlow, is the law.Lady Ludlow: And who is it who makes the law? Those such as you in the House of Commons; those such as I in the House of Lords. You can also mete out justice as you see fit - that's your privilege as a magistrate. Convict Job Gregson... of poaching. And I will pay the fine. Five pounds from my own purse to save a father of six from jail. He'll work on my land, unwaged, in reparation.
