FOREMAN--My lord, we do not remember it was proved that she did ask any such question when they were there. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Sure you do not remember anything that has passed! Did not Dunne tell you there was such discourse, and she was by, and Nelthorp's name was named. But if there were no such proof the circumstances and management of the thing is as full of proof as can be; I wonder what it is you doubt of. MRS. LISLE--My lord, I hope---- LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--You must not speak now. Then the jury laid their heads together for near a quarter of an hour, and at length agreed, and being called over, delivered in this verdict by the foreman. CLERK OF ARRAIGNS--Alice Lisle, hold up thy hand. Gentlemen of the jury, look upon the prisoner, how say ye? Is she guilty of the treason whereof she stands indicted, or not guilty. FOREMAN--Guilty. CLERK OF ARRAIGNS--What goods or chattels, lands or tenements had she? FOREMAN--None that we know of. CLERK OF ARRAIGNS--Look to her, jailor, she is found guilty of high treason; and prepare yourself to die. Then the verdict was recorded. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Gentlemen, I did not think I should have any occasion to speak after your verdict, but finding some hesitancy and doubt among you, I cannot but say I wonder it should come about; for I think in my conscience the evidence was as full, and plain as could be, and if I had been among you, and she had been my own mother, I should have found her guilty. Then the Court adjourned till the next morning. The next day Lady Lisle and other prisoners were brought up to receive sentence. Jeffreys, after lamenting the condition of 'you Mrs. Lisle, a gentlewoman of quality and of fortune, so far stricken in years, one who all your life-time have been a great pretender to, and professor of, religion, and of that religion which bears a very good name, the Protestant religion,' goes on to point out that 'there is no religion whatsoever (except that hypocritical profession of theirs which deserves not the name of religion, I mean the canting, whining Presbyterian, phanatical profession) that gives the least countenance to rebellion or faction.' He cannot but deplore 'that in this little case so many perjuries should be added to the crime of treason, such as for my part I cannot but tremble to remember.' She should repent of her own false asseverations and protestations
