R. Mark Clayton
The offences of piracy on the high seas, arson in her majesty's dockyards and high treason used to carry the death penalty after its abolition for murder.

High treason was

killing or trying to kill the sovereign or immediate heir adultery with their [female consorts]

That cad Hewitt could have been charged with this offence IMHO.

I'd have charged her along with him. (takes two to tango)
