But what single member of your House, in our days, or in the days of our fathers, or in the days of our grandfathers, suffered death unjustly by sentence of the Court of the Lord High Steward?
Hundreds of the common people were sent to the gallows by common juries for the Rye House Plot and the Western Insurrection.

One peer, and one alone, my Lord Delamere, was brought at that time before the Court of the Lord High Steward; and he was acquitted.

But, it is said, the evidence against him was legally insufficient.

Be it so.

So was the evidence against Sidney, against Cornish, against Alice Lisle; yet it sufficed to destroy them.
