according to the crime which they could make appear or witness against them.

Now these are the names of the different pieces

of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value.

they having been established by king Mosiah.

because they received their wages according to their employ,

and all manner of disturbances and wickedness,

that they might have more employ,

that they might get money according to the suits

which were brought before them;

therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.
