Answer: justices with jam

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration simply means when the same letter occurs at the beginning of the words which are adjacent to one another or in cases whereby they are closely connected.

Such words begin with same letter and typically has same sound and are usually repeated in the particular sentence.

In this excerpt, alliteration can be found in "Justices with jam" as the letter "j" is repeated at the beginning of the words.
