The Roman Inquisition was more merciful. Not only was scourging much lighter than in Spain and less frequently prescribed but, by a decree of Feb. 23, 1641, it was commuted when the offender had sisters, daughters or grandchildren of respectable position. It was also spared to women who had husbands or marriageable daughters.—Collectio Decretor. S. Congr. S^ti Officii, p. 358; Ristretto cerca li Delitti più frequenti nel S. Offizio, p. 53 (MSS. penes me).
