Vide.—The order of the Lords of the Councell made the 16 Augusti,
1634, wch establishes these fees.
The personal grievances of the master of the Temple and the
replies of the benchers of the two societies may be summarized as
follows :
That his precedency as master of the Temple is denied him.
To this it is answered that he had no such right of precedence.
He claimed apparently to be above the treasurer,
and a note is added : " The place where the treasurer sits
on the form side is holden to be the uppermost place in the
hall. The reason why that was so appointed was for that
commonly the treasurers were aged men and therefore
fittest to sit near the fire."
That his place in the hall is denied him by the Inner Temple.
To this it is said that he had no such right but was
only there by courtesy.
