Curious Medieval Ceremony In Law
Courts Of London.

One of the most curious survivals
Of the quaint methods Of other times
was Witnessed the other day In one
Of the London law courts. Here the
solicitor of the city Of London attend
ed before the kings membranes to
render quit rent services in respect Of
certain properties In the city of Lon
don and the county Of salop. On the
table were block of wood. two fagots
Of twigs, six horseshoes, and bag
Of nails. Warrants were read calling
upon the tenants of the properties
concerned to come forth and do their
service" whereupon the city solicitor
gravely placed one Of the fagots ON
the block and cut it with Ratchet.
Then he cut the fagot with a billhook
and afterward rendered the six horse
shoes and counted out 60 nails. in
heaps of ten. adding one extra nail.
at which the Kings Remembrancer
said: Good number" Then the city
solicitor asked: Has his majesty any
orders with regard to these imple-
ments?" and the Kings Remsm-
brancer replied: II will take them to
be at the disposal of his majesty"
This ended the ceremony, which
dates from over 600 years ago.
