LIVAIALITY OF THE OF GUAY'S
On Wednesday last, the Ministers and Students of Gray's
Inn were gratified by a message from the Benehers, as
complimentary as it was gratifying. After fixing the
future hour for dinner at five o'clock, it was ill substance
:Is follows:—That in future an additional bar-mess would
be provided—that each bar-mesa would be presented daily
with a bottle of sherry and a bottle of port—and that every
oilier mess would also daily he presented with a bottle of
port. That the Society of Gray's Inn can afford to be thus
liberal we have no doubt ; but that circumstance does not
at all take from the gentlemanly courtesy under the influ-
ence of which the alteration has taken place. The new
chambers erecting in Gray's Inn gardens are in a consider-
able state of forivardness, and amongst the distinguished
members of the bar who have engaged them, are Messrs.
Bele, Heald, Montague, and i'veral others. •
