32 A CALENDAR OF THE [1607 MISCELLANEA. Notes endorsed, " The case of Sir Francis Bacon's precedency when Queen Elizabeth's and King James' counsel and also when solicitor to King James." At a pension held at Gray's Inn on 1 o February, 28 Elizabeth, A.D. 1586, before John Brograve and others, readers, it was allowed that Mr. Francis Bacon might have place with the readers at the reader's table, but not to have voice in pension nor to win ancienty of any that was his ancient or should read before him. On 3 November, 30 Elizabeth, A.D. 1587, Francis Bacon, esquire, was elected reader for the next Lent. On II November, 41 Elizabeth, A.D. 1599, he was chosen double reader. On 25 August, 2 James I., A.D. 1604, Sir Francis Bacon was made the King's counsel. On the same day, by another patent, in consideration of the good service done by Anthony Bacon, deceased, brother of Sir Francis, and by Sir Francis himself, the King granted him a pension of 6oli. for life. On 25 June, 5 James I., A.D. 1607, Sir Francis Bacon was made the King's solicitor general. That from 1 o February, 1586, when Mr. Bacon, then a young barrister, was called to the bench at Gray's Inn, in all probability by the Queen's verbal order recited in the patent of 2 James I., till after he was made solicitor general (which was three years after he was made the King's counsel and about 16 years after he was the Queen's counsel) he took no other place or precedency at the bench of Gray's Inn than according to his seniority and call thither. But after he was made solicitor general he took place of all the rest of the bench there, except Sir Roger Willbroham, who was master of Requests. Where it is said that Sir Francis Bacon, who was the King's counsel at large without any special place was then (last Trinity, 5 James I., A.D. 1607) made the King's solicitor, having before no place as King's counsel at large.
