This was truly to be a packed parlia- ment ! All the members were the Deputy's friends or dependants, save only that as Bandon returned two burgesses, Lord Cork was permitted to send his cousin, Mr. Wiseman, to represent it along with Sir George Wentworth, But Lord Cork's compliance with the Deputy's commands did not gain him any indulgence. He was astonished and offended, during the sitting of the council in August 1634, to be handed a packet of letters from some of his most intimate friends, ...Falkland, Ranelagh, and Sir William Beecher, and to find that some of them were dated two years back ! The messenger who had detained them received no reproof ; and to make the case complete, the Deputy picked up the letters from the table, opened and read them, without any remark or excuse to Lord Cork ! Wentworth never condescended to subterfuge ; it suited him better to open and read suspicious letters, in the face of the man to whom they were directed, than to intercept them after the ways of more wily diplomatists.
