[534] Trial of Hulet, who was said to have been the actual executioner of Charles I. 5 State Trials 1185–1195. In summing up, Sir Orlando Bridgeman, L.C.S., said to the jury:—“Gentlemen, you hear what has been proved on behalf of the prisoner, that is, if you believe the witnesses that are not upon oath.” Hulet was convicted, but the evidence was thought so unsatisfactory that the judges afterwards procured a reprieve.
