When, in 1601, Maximilian I of Bavaria consulted the legal faculty of Padua concerning witchcraft trials, one of his questions was whether a copy of the evidence should be given to the accused, or whether it should be stated to him by the judge and he be required to answer on the spot, as thus the truth might be better discovered. To this the answer was emphatic. All authorities unanimously required the accused to be furnished with a copy and to be allowed a competent time to answer. Nowhere in the law was to be found an exception to this, even in the most atrocious crimes; the right of defence was a natural right of which the accused could not be deprived. The force of this, however, was somewhat weakened by an admission that it was in the power of a monarch to limit the defence.—Marc. Anton. Peregrini Consilium de Sagis, n. 144-50 (Diversi Tractatus, Colon. Agripp. 1629).

[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.
