Cambridge.
The following is probably the case referred to at p. 92. It is contained
in 1 _Modern Reports_, case 30.:
"Seventeen serjeants being made the 14th day of November, a daye
or two after, Serjeant Powis, the junior of them all, coming to
the King's Bench bar, Lord Chief Justice Kelynge told him that he
had something to say to him, viz., that the rings which he and the
rest of the serjeants had given weighed but eighteen shillings
apiece; whereas Fortescue, in his book _De Laudibus Legum Angliæ_,
says, 'The rings given to the Chief Justices and to the Chief
Baron ought to weigh twenty shillings apiece;' and that he spoke
not this expecting a recompense, but that it might not be drawn
into a precedent, and that the young gentlemen there might take
notice of it."
