CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
HOW KING HENRY w.
FOOLED THE LAWYERS.
81 A, w. MACY.


The sixth parliament Of Henry
w. Of England met at Coventry
In 1904. II wi. called the un-
learned Parliament by some, and
the siliterate Parliament by
others; while by others still it
was disrespectfu!ly dubbed the
Parliament Of Ounces. The rea.
son for this was that it con-
tanned no lawyers. There had
been much complaint that law
yers were In the habit of Sc
curing seats in parliament, not
for the public good, but to fur
ther the interests Of their cli-
ents and incidentally feather
their own nests. Henry himself
said that members often spent
more time on private suits than
on public business. Awaiting
himself Of an ordinance passed
under Edward H., he stipu-
lated In the writs that no law.
yers should be returned. He
had the parliament meet In
Coventry 30 as not to be near
the courts. Notwithstanding It
contained no lawyers, and al
though It was called by derisive
names as noted, It seems to
have been as good az the aver
age, and to have done some SEN
sible things. Strange to say,
though obsolete long ago, the
ordinance excluding lawyers
was not repealed till 1871. /,
