Examples

  • What, consider me? dost thou think that I am a bribetaker?

    A Select Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 6 William Carew Hazlitt 1873

  • Minister of Justice who has them Classified, and acting on the information sends orders out to bring the guilty parties to justice, and as punishment is meted out only to the bribetakers, for it is only acting according to the mandates of human nature for a relative or friend to try to get a person out of trouble to offer a bribe, carried with it no penalty, but it left the bribetaker at the mercy of the other party, and in consequence of adopting this system very few public officials proved untrue, and crime has greatly diminished.

    Eurasia Christopher Evans 1882
