    Holmes says this when he is going over a list of people that Watson is supposed to watch will he's away. This is a small list of possible guilty people, so in this words, he expresses his opinion about being very cautioned with the suspects so they can take the guilty one to pay for their crimes, and not to take an innocent neither to free a guilty one.

    Explanation:

    He said that as a figurative language, but the truth was that he wanted to say the guys were guilty and they would never ever give up trying to show and prove that.
