The Earl's Answer.

That there was then a standing Army in Ire∣land, and Armies cannot be governed but by Martial Law: that it hath been put in constant practice with former Deputies; that had the sentence been unjustly given by him, the crime could amount but to Felony at most, for which he hoped he might as well expect pardon from his Majesty, as the Lord Conway and Sir Jacob Ast∣l••y had for doing the like in the late Northern Army.

That he neither gave sentence, nor procured it against the Lord Mount-Norris, but only desired Justice against the Lord for some affront done to him as he was Deputy of Ireland.

That the said Lord was judged by a Council of War, wherein he sate bare all the time, and gave no suffrage against him; that also to evidence himself a party, he caused his Brother Sir George Wentworth, in regard of the nearness of blood, to decline all acting in the process.
