Prossecution

(from Charles Dickens' classic book "A Tale Of Two Cities") Identifies the accusing party who would have been testifying against Madame DeFarge if said violent lady --- rather than being killed with her own smuggled pistol --- had been taken into custody and tried in a court of law.
If Madame DeFarge had not been killed with her own pistol, she would likely have been challenged in court for attempted murder, and the no-nonsense governess and friend of Lucie Manette would likely have served as the Prossecution after said Madame's famous armed confrontation with her.
