Excerpt: ... that as Ealegh had already, in 1604, been declared guilty of high treason, and had never been pardoned, he could not be put on his trial for any crime committed since, as he was legally dead. The commissioners, therefore, recommended two courses as possible. The first, that in publishing the warrant for Ealegh''s execution, his Majesty should also publish a narrative in print of his late crimes and offences. The second course, and the one preferred by the commissioners, was that Sir Walter should be summoned before the whole body of the Council of State and the principal judges, together with some of the nobility and gentlemen of quality, and should be thus publicly charged with acts of hostility, depredation, abuse of the royal commission, attempt to escape, and the other misdemeanours of which he stood accused. The commissioners left it to his Majesty how far the matter with the French should be touched upon; for their careful examination of the Frenchmen who had had dealings with Ealegh led them to the conclusion that he had been passive rather than active in the matter. After the examination, the King was to take the advice of the Lords of the Council and the Judges as to the execution of Sir Walter, and the whole proceeding was to be made a solemn act of the council. James was afraid to follow their advice. For the other course, he wrote in answer, of a public calling him before our council, we think it not fit, because it would make him too popular, as was 1618 JAMES I. AND RALEGH. 245 found by experiment at the arraignment at Winchester, where by his wit he turned the hatred of men into compassion of him. James therefore resorted to a middle course. A formal proceeding was to take place, but only before the commissioners; no publicity was to be ...
