L.C.J. Well, Mr Attorney, what is your instance?
Att. My lord, it is a strange one, and the Menn Luiz Gustavo Fotballdrakter truth is that, of all the cases I have been concerned in, I cannot call to mind the like of it. But to be short, gentlemen, we shall bring you testimony that Ann Clark was seen after this 15th of May, and that, at such time as she was so seen, it was impossible she could have Menn Lazar Markovic Fotballdrakter been a living person.
