Extract

I have the honour of sending your Lordship a Copy of Proceedings had in the Parliament of the Middle Temple, (for so a formal Meeting of the Benchers of that House for its business, is denominated,) respecting a Petition of Sir John Davies, praying that he might be restored to his degree of Barrister, and the enjoyment of his seat and commons in that capacity, all which he had forfeited under a judgment of theirs of nearly four years standing, on account of a gross outrage committed in their Hall at the time of public dinner.
