[244] Llorente (Hist. crít. Cap. xliv, Art. 1, n. 38, 39, 40) quotes from the Gazette de France an account of a reform in the procedure of the Roman Inquisition in 1816, assimilating it to that of the secular courts, a reform which was to be extended to the Inquisition everywhere. There is no trace of such action in the Bullarium of Pius VII or in the Collectio Lacensis. If it was enforced in Italy, the Spanish Holy Office paid no attention to it.

[245] In the Appendix will be found some fragmentary statistics illustrating the comparative frequency of the various punishments inflicted by the Inquisition.
