_Epigram on Four Lawyers._--It used to be said that four lawyers were

wont to go down from Lincoln's Inn and the Temple in one hackney coach

for one shilling. The following epigram records the economical practice:

"Causidici curru felices quatuor uno

Quoque die repetunt limina nota 'fori.'

Quanta sodalitium præstabit commoda! cui non

Contigerint socii cogitur ire pedes."

See _Poemata Anglorum Latina_, p. 446. Lemma, "Defendit

numerus."--_Juv._
