According to Davison, when the intelli- gence of the execution arrived, on the evening of the 8th, Burleigh and the other councillors thought it best not to teU her at once. She heard it, however, he says, from some other quarter, and testified nei- ther feeling nor displeasure. But in the morning, when the event was officially... announced to her, she showed every sympton of grief and indignation. She shed tears ; her voice was broken by sighs ; she drove her councillors from her presence with re- proaches, and put herself and her whole court in mourning. Davison was committed to the Tower, and then brought before the Star Chamber, where he was sentenced to pay a line of 10,000 marks ($32,000), and to be imprisoned during pleasure, for contempt of the queen's majesty, breach of his allegiance, and neglect of duty in acquainting the council with the warrant, and having it executed without her knowl- edge.
