291. "_Acu tinali meridi._"--At the head of an English metrical

discourse upon the administration of justice, in a MS. of the fourteenth

or fifteenth century, in the Public Library, Cambridge, is placed the

following obscure motto, upon which, perhaps, some correspondent can

throw light:--

"O judex vi fervida hanc servabis artem,

Acu tinali merida .i. audi alteram partem."

I have not seen the MS., but am told that the correctness of the reading

may be depended upon.
