_Ductor Dubitantium_.--The Judge alluded to by Jeremy Taylor in the
passage quoted by A.T. (Vol. ii., p. 325.), was Chief-Justice
Richardson; but the place where the outrage was committed was not
Ludlow, as stated by the eloquent divine, but Salisbury, as appears from
the following marginal note in Dyer's _Reports_, p. 1886--a curious
specimen of the legal phraseology of the period:--
"Richardson, C.J. de C.B. at Assizes at Salisbury in Summer 1631
fuit assault per Prisoner la condemne pur Felony; que puis son
condemnation ject un Brickbat a le dit Justice, que narrowly
mist. Et pur ceo immediately fuit Indictment drawn pur Noy
envers le Prisoner, et son dexter manus ampute et fixe al
Gibbet, sur que luy mesme immediatement hange in presence de
