"I have a warrant from Government to arrest you, and send you back again to your own country without delay.

You are here as a spy, an incendiary, and must go on your travels forthwith.

In this, I am acting as your friend and protector, and so is Government, who do not wish to be severe upon you, as you are not a natural subject.

See sir, here is another warrant for your arrest and imprisonment.

The fact is, it was left to my own discretion, either to imprison you, or send you out of the country.
