T. P. is informed that the custom of Serjeants-at-law presenting rings
with mottoes prevailed long before A.D. 1670. In the _Journal of the
Arch. Institute_, vol. vii. p. 196., he will find mention of a mediæval
ring of the kind, described as "A Serjeant-at-law's gold ring, the hoop
3/8 of an inch in width, and of equal thickness, inscribed _Lex regis
præsidium_."
