2 24 A CALENDAR OF THE [1635<br />

chief butler to make payment <strong>of</strong> certain money in his hands since<br />

<strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> his stewardship in Christmas, 1633, did make an unfitting<br />

answer, and <strong>the</strong> day following, at dinner time, being summoned by<br />

<strong>the</strong> chief butler to attend <strong>the</strong> bench table on <strong>the</strong> morrow, did not<br />

only strike <strong>the</strong> chief butler, but having got on his riding coat and<br />

sword, did in insolent manner come up to <strong>the</strong> bench table in that habit<br />

towards <strong>the</strong> benchers <strong>the</strong>re sitting, whereupon <strong>the</strong> masters <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bench<br />

expelled him out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> society and caused his chamber to be seized,<br />

and obtained <strong>the</strong> Lord Chief Justice's warrant for his apprehension<br />

that he might be brought to an exemplary punishment in <strong>the</strong> court<br />

<strong>of</strong> Star Chamber. And <strong>the</strong> said <strong>Temple</strong>, being apprehended and in<br />

<strong>the</strong> custody <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> marshal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> King's Bench, made his petition to<br />

<strong>the</strong> following effect, that he had unadvisedly and in passion highly<br />

<strong>of</strong>fended in beating <strong>the</strong> chief butler and in using irreverent speeches<br />

towards <strong>the</strong> bench, and hearing, as he was passing <strong>the</strong> hall in his<br />

cloak and sword, that ano<strong>the</strong>r gentleman <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> society was convented<br />

before <strong>the</strong> bench for his <strong>of</strong>fence, he was transported with<br />

passion, and did (which aggravated his <strong>of</strong>fence) most irregularly and<br />

indiscreetly presume to come to <strong>the</strong> bench table in that habit. He<br />

is sorry for his <strong>of</strong>fence, and prays that upon his submission he may<br />

be pardoned. Which petition being considered it is agreed that<br />

some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bench shall become suitors to <strong>the</strong> Lord Chief Justice to<br />

take security for <strong>the</strong> appearance <strong>of</strong> <strong>Temple</strong> at <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong><br />

Michaelmas term, and in <strong>the</strong> mean time all prosecution against him<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Star Chamber and <strong>the</strong> order for his expulsion are suspended.<br />
