The Marquis d'Ayerbo, the Count d'Orgas, the Dukes de San Carlos and de l'lnfantado, had conducted themselves with perfect dignity. But the Canon l^scoicpiiz, in particular, had displayed an almost provoking firmness, excited as he was by the danger, by the ambition to sustain his part, by the affection of his royal pupil, by the indignation of an honest man. In spite of the unbecoming threats of the director of this process, Simon de Viegas, one of the vilest agents of the court, Esco'iquiz, w...ithout disavowing the papers on which the accusation was founded, had persisted in maintaining and demonstrating his innocence, saying that, in fact, lie had endeavoured in those papers to unveil the turpitudes and the crimes of the favourite ; that in so doing he was serving the king, not betraying him; that the blank order, signed be- forehand, to confer military powers on the Duke de l'lnfantado was a legitimate precaution against a plan of usurpation which everybody was acquainted with, and proof of which he engaged to furnish if he were placed in presence of Godoy, and permitted to call witnesses who were all ready to reveal fearful truths.
