[181]
And that you
may not suppose that those things which have been removed out of the way, and taken
from you, were all so carefully hidden, and kept so secretly, that with all the
diligence which I am aware is universally expected of me nothing concerning them has
been able to be arrived at or discovered, I must tell you that, whatever could by
any means or contrivance be found out, has been found out, O judges. You shall see
in a moment the man detected in the very act; for as I have spent a great part of my
life in attending to the causes of farmers, and have paid great attention to that
body, I think that I am sufficiently acquainted with their customs by experience and
by intercourse with them.
