CORV: I fear no one but him, that this his pleading Should make him stand for a co-heir-
MOS: Co-halter!
Hang him; we will but use his tongue, his noise, As we do croakers here.

VOLT: Here they come, have done.
MOS: I have another witness, if you need, sir, I can produce.
VOLT: Who is it?
MOS: Sir, I have her.
