All that he did , in regard to Dugdale , was to shew by one of his witnesses that Dugdale , when bailiff at Tixall , had been a mean dishonest fellow ; but then , as the Lord High Sheriff observed , it would scarcely be an honest man whom one would bribe to kill the King . When he dealt with Turberville too , he did not do much better ; for he stood continually upon little points of no importance -- such points as a witness may very well mistake -- as to where the windows of his house in Paris looked out , and whether the Prince of Conde lodged to right or left -- such little points as a lawyer would leave alone , if he could not prove them positively . On the fourth and fifth day I was not present ; for I had a great deal to do in writing my reports for Rome ; and on the sixth day -- which was Monday -- I was not there above an hour , for I saw that the trial would not end that day . But on the Tuesday I was there before ten o'clock ; and at eleven o'clock my Lords came back to give judgment . It was a dark morning , as it had been at the trial of the Jesuits ; and the candles were lighted . As soon as all were seated my Lord Stafford was brought in ; and I observed him during all that followed . He stood very quiet at the bar , with his hands folded ; and although , before the voting was over , he must have known which way it was gone , he flinched never a hair nor went white at all .
