THE COMMON LA W INNS OF THE
JNNLIi AND MIDDLE TEMPLE, AND
- ITS ANCIENT CLWRC1I.
BY H05. JAMES W. HALL.
The old reporter, in his quaint language,
declares, "The Statute Law 1h like ft tjrant
Where he comes, he makes all void; but the
Common Law is like a nursing mother, and
makes only void that part where the fault
Irt, and preserves the rest." The old lawyers
recognized in the Common Law the represen
tations of the immemorial customs of their
country, the ancient landmarks of their pro
perty. 13ut it was with them, as opposed to
the ohnoxious Civil Law, that the morits
of 41 Lady Common Law," who, to use
Coke's language, "prefers to lie alone," shone
forth bo conspicuously, for thoy recognized in
her the protecting divinity that guarded so
tealously liberty of thought, of speech, and of
attion; in those good old times deemed the
chief glory of the race. No freeman certainly
could hesitate to prefer the hardy features
ct personal independence belonging to this
most excellent system, notwithstanding its
intricate forms and the tediousness of its ad
ministration, to the civil law, the code of con
tinental Europe, under whim justice was the
Subject rather than ruler. The Inns of Court,
when they first passed into the hands of the
gentlemen of the long robe, were the real nur
eeries of the Common Law; but the glories which
to their enraptured vision seemed to invest
their divinity, have faded. The procedures of
the Common Law, more especially a3 regards
real estate and its maxims, are in a great
measure abrogated. In reference even to
private relations. Its doctrines are materially
changed. The doctrine, "that statutes in de
rogation of the Common Law are to be Btrictly
construed," has new in reality no solid founda
tion either in American or English jurispru
dence ; and, though for a long time tliu maxim
may fall as a familiar sound upon the forensio
ear, the day is passed when innovating statutes
should be regarded with any peculiar severity,
or subjected to any striot rules of interpreta
tion, because they abrogate some ancient rule
of that renowned, but somewhat obsolete,
system.
Old cross-grained Bentham, in his "Judi
cial Evidence," declares, with more violence
than is warranted by truth, that he would
"as soon send a roan to the com
mon sewer to cleanse himself, as to the Com
mon Law for purity." The Common Law,
while it was not always what the enthusiastic
Coke pronounced it, "the highest reason," we
yet venerate as the birthright of the subject,
the safeguard and defense not only of his pos
sessions and revenues, but of wife, children,
home, body, and fame.
The locality in the city of London known as
"The Temple" lies between Fleet street and
the Thames, north and south, and White Friars
and Essex street, east and west, divided by
Middle Temple Lane into Inner and Middle
Temple, each having its hall, library, quad
rangles, courts, etc. Its history is a curious
one. The lawyers succeeded to the inheri
tance of that powerful fraternity, " The
Knights Templar of Jerusalem," whose guid
ing principle, enforced by the solemnities of
an oath, was "never to permit a Christian to he
unlawfully and unjustly despoiled of his heri
tage." It were well had they conscientiously
assumed in a wider Bense the solemn obliga
tion of the Templar, "that they never would
consent to permit," not only any Christian,
but any man, "to be shamefully despoiled of
ills heritage." The Temple Church, or at
least, that part of it called "The Kound."
was built originally by the Knights Templar
of Jerusalem, an order who, pitying the
sufferings of Christian pilgrims, entered
into a solemn compact to devote their
lives and fortunes for the defense of
the highway leading to Jerusalem, against the
inroads of the Saracen, and the ravages of the
powerful robbers who infested it. Their rise
was rapid, but not more so than the growth of
their ambition. From guarding the highway,
they took to tfuardinir the Holy City itself.
Influential men joined the order, and threw
into its coffers their entire fortunes. It grew
in power and wealth, and in the palmiest days
enrolled under its banners some ot tne miguti
est names in England. The Master of the
Temple took his place among the Feers in
Parliament. The dress of the Templar corres
ponded with that of the Red Cross Knight in
The 1 aery ijueene or bpenser :
"And on his breast a bloudte cross he boree
The deare remembrance of his dvlner Lord.
For whose sweet sake that glorious badge be
wore,
And dead, as living, ever him adored."
About the reign of the Third Elizabeth, the
establishment belonging to the Templars came
into the hands of the Knights Hospitallers of
rot. joun oi Jerusalem, and by them were de
mised to certain students of the common law
From that time the body of lawyers increased
in influence and importance. coon they
lecame so powerful that it was found necessary
to divide the Inn into two fraternities, to be
called "ine Honorable societies or the Inner
and Middle Temple," having separate halls,
fcut worshipping in one church. These asso
ciations appear to have suffered considerably
during the rebellion under Wat Tyler. Jack
cade had no great respect for the gentlemen
of the long robe. He could not understand
"how the skin of an innocent lamb should be
made parchment, and that parchment, being
Btnuuwu mi, ouuuiu uuuo a man. ' jack had
heard some people say "that the bee stings,"
lut, snrewd leuow, he had good reason to
know "it was the bee's way, for he did put a
seal once to a thing, and was never his own
man after." Believing as honest Jack did, how
could he help thrusting his blazing torch amid
the parchment treasures of the lunu of Court?
The order soon recovered from tho effect of
this hre, and waxed more potent than ever
About fhe first year of the reign of James the
lirst, we find the whole of this property was
granted by letters patent to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, the .Recorder of London, and
others, the lienohers and Treasurers of the
Inner and Middle Temple, to Have and to Hold
to them and their assigns for ever. Thus se
cured by royal grant, it has regained in their
possession to tins day. The place where now
"the studious lawyers have their bowers" (for
Temple Gardens still display their verdure on
the river side) is certainly not what the gentle
Klia declared it to be in his time, "the most
elegant spot in the Metropolis." The approach
to it from Fleet is now utterly forlorn.
Who can forget the gloom and the ancient
smell there is about "The Old Brick Court ?"
Hut the memories of the great and good Cluster
around its venerable precincts. Gower,
Chaucer, and Bpenser, "those morning stars
who sang together" in the early dawn of
English poetry, resided here for a considerable
period. Genial Oliver Goldsmith occupied for
several years the second-floor chamber of the
third house inside the gateway; and there he
died.
These Inns of Court are remarkable for the
elegance and beauty of their interiors. The
old times when their halls were the soenes of
good cheer and sumptuous entertainment,
when majesty and those who reflected it
THE DAILY E
Splendors
honored these precincts with their
have indoed passed away. But
though these "ferial days' And clorious merry
makings of the lawyers of gentle Evelyn's time
have gone, and staid old Benchers no longer
lead the dance, with measured step following
the "Master of the Revels," nor "young
limbs of the law" make the welkin ring
indeed, and "rouse the night owl in a catch
that would draw three souls from one weaver,"
still the honorable profession keep alive
the spirit And sociability of their order in
these old halls. In the halls of the Inner and
Middle Temple, dinner is prepared for the
members every day during term time; the
Masters of the Bench dining on the elevated
platform at the farther end of the halls, while
the barristers and students line the long tables
extending down the Bides of the room. To pro
cure aamission to either or these inns, the stu
dent must obtain the certificate of two barris
ters of the Middle Temple, with that of a
Bencher, to the effect that the applicant is a
fit person to be received into the Inn, for the
purpose of being called to the bar. Once ad
mitted, the student has the use of the library,
and is entitled to a seat in the church or chapel
of the Inn, and to have his name set down for
chambers. He is required to keep Commons
by dining in the hall for twelve terms (four
terms in each year), on commencing which he
must deposit with the treasurer 100, to be
retained with interest untu ne is cauea. Mem
bers of the universities are exempt.) The
student must also give bond for the payment
of common and term fees. No person can be
called unless he is above twenty-one years of
age, and of three years' standing as a student.
'1 he call is made by the lionchers in council,
after which the student becomes a barrister,
and takes the oath. Jn certain other Inns,
however. I believe the student must, before
his call, attend certain lectures, which
are a revival of the old readings without their
festivities. A hall dinner is a' formal scene.
At 5, or half-past 5 o'clock, the barristers, stu
dents, and other members, in their gowns,
assemble in the hall; the Benchers pass in
procession to the dais, the steward strikes the
table three times, grace is said by the trea
surer, or senior Bencher present, and the din
ner commences. The Benchers observe some
what more style at their table than the others.
The usual repast is soup, a joint of meat, a
tart, a cheese, and a bottle of port wine, to
each mess consisting of four persons. At the
Inner Temple, on the 2 ah of May, a gold cup
of sack is handed to each member, who drinks
to the happy restoration of Charles the Second.
At Grey's Inn a similar custom prevails, but
the toast is to the memory of Queen Elizabeth.
The Inns of Court are four, viz., the Inner and
Middle Temple; Lincoln's inn, and Gray's Inn.
Then come the Inns of Chancery, attached
only by name to tho parent Inns. On gala
days the attendance is larger, and occasionally
the Judges dine in succession with each of the
four inns. The mil or the mner Temple is,
I believe, the largest, as it is the most magnifi
cent in its interior decorations. Its fine win
dows are adorned with the arms of the most
distinguished members of the Inn. Here, amid
the blaze of heraldio devices, you may read the
names of Cowper, Thurlow, Dunning, Eldon,
Blackstone, Stowell, Hardwick, and Somers.
This hail is upwards of one hundred feet long,
forty wide, and sixty in height. Nothing can
surpass the splendid effect of the emblazonry
on these windows, the elaborate carving of
the wood-work, and the grand old portraits
(some of them veritable Vandykes) that look
down upon you from the venerable walls.
The strong oaken tables, that extend the
entire length of the hall, are the same at whioh
those noble spirits of the sixteenth century
dined, and where all those venerated forms of
Benchers that Lamb styles "the mythology of
the Temple" once had place, mis noble hall
ha3 other memories besides those invoked
by the stern features of the luminaries of
the law that frown down upon you in
your walk. Here was performed Shake
speare's Twelfth Night, in 1U01, and
doubtless "the myriad-minded one," the im
mortal author, participated. The hall of the
Inner Temple is somewhat similar to the one
we have described, and is graced with full-
length portraits or (Joke and Littleton,
and an tmblematio Pegasu3, by Sir James
Thornhill. The face ot Littleton is by no
means striking, hardly intellectual ; skin of
the hue of the parchments over which he
pored, while the eyes have a lack-lustre look,
and the brow is low and villanous. That of
his commentator, however, honest, imperious,
malignant, incorruptible Coke, the savage pro
secutor of Somerset and Raleigh, but the bold
defender of the liberties of his country, is the
countenance of a handsome, highly intellec
tual man. No public character in English
history, perhaps, has ever been assailed as has
Coke ; but imperious as he often was, hector
ing and abusive as he sometimes appeared
in the practice ot his protossion,
his enemies dare not call in question
the lofty courage with which he defended the
rights of his countrymen against the assaults
oi prerogative, lie alone, the world mustever
remember, of all the judges of England, dis
dained to succumb to the arbitrary and Inde
cent interference of a pedantic sovereign. The
judges had been long regarded as in some de
gree bound, by virtue of their offices as royal
counsellors, to justiiy the acts or the (Jrown.
however arbitrary. Coke despised this dezra-
dation, and, despite all persecvition, proclaimed
and established the independence of the
English bench.
'Ihese halls, in earlier days, were the
scenes of the celebrated readings. These Inns
originally consisted of three bodies the Bench
ers, the utter barristers, and the inner barris
ters; the last being the students, the seoond a
body more advanced, and chosen from the stu
dents, while lrom these again were chosen tho
uencners or governing body.
The name barrister is in all probability de
rived from the bar that separated the upper
pan, oi me nan praised on a dais) from the
lower, iiere the students congregated as lis
teners, at meetings or readings. The readings
luuce twice in every year, and were
marked by great solemnity. The reader,
caving selected some statute, recited the
uounts which had arisen, or might arise,
loucerniug it, and ended by a declaration of
ins own judgment. The utter barrister de
bated the matter generally, and to conclude,
the serieanta and imlaaa trav !,.;..
borne of the most profound judicial papers in
the language were oricinntrtd hv tha rul
ings, as for instance that by Lord Bacon on the
statute of Uses. The meetings, which were
naraiy less valuable, and much more interest
lug, formed an appropriate appendage to tire
readings, by directly testing the amount of
beneht the students derived from the latter,
and by directly carrying forward their legal
euueauon. me ieuuer uow sat u the open
hall, accompanied vy some of the utter bar
risters, while on each side two of the inner
banisters or students took their places as
counsel, respectively, for an imaginary plain
tiff and defendant. The case chosen was of
course one that involved nice points of law
and when it bvd been fully stated on both
sides by the more juvenile counsel, two utter
barristers expressed their opinions upon the
points raised, and finally the reTtder ftnd the
older Benchers with him summed up. Sn
was the admirable training received by the
"EN1NG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
enrlier snges of the law; but now all this is
done away with. In the earlier day, too, It
was customary for the lawyers, like the mer
chants, to have their pillars. Chaucer, in his
"Canterbury Tilgrims," alludes to this when
describing the Serjeant of the Law, as
"A Serjeant of the la we, ware and wine,
That olien had ybeen at the Varvisc."
Old Fortescue tells us that the courts of law
were shut up after midday, and that the law
yers then went to meet their clients, and hold
consultations at the Tarvis and elsewhere.
The London Parvis was the portico of St.
Paul's Cathedral, where the Serjeants chose
their respective pillars, as the more eminent
members of the Stock Exchange do in their
place of meeting to this day; and a noisy,
bustling scene St. Paul's portico must have
presented at that time.
'Ihe lemple lhurch, "where the barristers
resort," has been lately restored in a style of
magnificence woithy of its best days, when it
glowed with more than Oriental splendor.
The only ancient part of the church now is
the Round, which you enter through a
deeply recessed and most sumptuously
ornamented gateway. In the restora
tions, under the auspices'of the two societies,
everything has been restored, as near as can
be ascertained, to its original beauty. The
clustered columns supporting the roof of
the nave present a very fine appearance.
These are the original pillows in the old church,
and are of polished marble, variegated and
beautiful. In the ancient part of the church
is presented the most interesting example in
England of the transition of the plain mas
sive Norman to the light and elegant English
tyle. In the Round, one may notice the
semi-circular windows of the Norman period;
but Norman in the last stage, already grown
slender and elongated. There, too, we have
the pointed windows, tho perfection of what
is called the lancet style. The stained
window over the altar appears like a rich
work of the olden time, although it is quite
modern. The burnished roof is scarcely less
splendid then it was when the clang of
knighthood's gilded spur rang from the stone
pavement below. The stained window first
mentioned, with its deep rubies, rich purple
and gold, represents Christ enthroned. The
pavement of the church, remodelled in strict
correspondence with the original, is of yellow
and amber, upon a ground of red. There is
much grouping of heraldio and pictorial
subjects, such as animals, with their tails
linked together; cocks and foxes, and uncouth
figures, playing upon musical instruments.
But the chief ornaments are the symbols of
the two societies of the lemple the Lamb
and the Pegasus; or, Winged Horse, founded
on the celerity of Heracleus. The Lamb, being
the device of ct. John, belonged to the Hos
pitallers of St. John, who succeeded to the
Templars. One of the members of the Inn, in
glorifying thia symbolic emblem, now adopted
by the order as their own, wrote the following
eulogistic verses:
"As by tbe Templars' hold you go.
The Uor6e and Lamb displayed,
In emblematic figures show
The merits of their trade.
"1 hat clients may Inter from thence,
How Just is their professton.
The Lamb sets forth their innocence,
The Horse, their expedition.
"O happy Briton ! happy isle !
Let foreign nations say:
Where you get justloe without guile, .
And law without delay."
To this some wag, not having the fear of grave
lienchers ana gowned Serjeants belore his
eyes, made the following very caustic retort:
"Deluded men I these holds forego,
Nor trust such cunning elves;
These artful emblems tend to show
Their clients, not themselves.
"Tls all a trick, these all are shams,
lty which they moan to cheat you;
So have a care, for you're the Lambs,
And they the wolves that eat you.
"Nor let the thoughts of no delay
lo these poor courts misguide you;
For you're the showy Horse, and they
The Jockeys that will ride you."
Among the greatest objects of interest in
this church are the recumbent figures of the
cross-legged Crusaders on the floor. These
are nine in number, and on each side of the
central walk, in a double line. These are
ancient monuments of Knights Templar.
Selden and Plowden are buried in the vaults
of this church, and the gentle author of the
"Ecclesiastical Polity" has, very appropriately,
a monument commemorative of his many
virtues and rare abilities. Beneath a worn
and moss-covered slab of grey stone, just out-
Bide the walls of the church, is gathered the
dust of Littleton. Oliver Goldsmith is buried
in the ground east of the choir; Gibbon rests
near him. There is a most exquisite epitaph,
in the quaint style of the day, to be read on
the south wail, written by Littleton upon his
daughter-in-law, ending
"Keep well this pawn, tl ou marble chest;
Till ll be called for, let It rest:
For while this Jewel here Is set
The grave is but a cabinet."
