COLLECTED AND AERANUED IIY DRYLSDUST.I  ORIGIN OF THE TERMS ATTORNEY AND SOLICITOR. "in the time of our Saxon ancestors," says a work entitled 'Heraldic Anomalies,' "the freemen in every shire met twice a year, under the precedency of the shire, reeve or sheriff, end this meeting was called the Sheriff's Teen. By degrees, the freemen declined giving their personal attendance, and a freeman who did attend, carried with him the proxies of such of his friends, as could not appear lie who actually went to the Sheriff's Torn, was said according to the old ' Saxon, to go at the Torn, and hence came the word attorney, which signified one that went to the Torn for others, carrying with him a power to act or vote for those who emp'oyed him. I do not zonceive, contiaues the writer, that the attorney has any right to call himself a solicitor, but where be has business in a court of equity. If he chose to act more upon the principles of equity than of law, let him be a solicitor by all means, but not otherwise: for law and equity are very different things; neither of them very good, as overwhelmed with forms and technicalities, but, upon the whole, equity is surely the I best, if it were but for the name of the thing."  RELICS OF RICHARD m. The oak b dstead which Richard the Third took vdth him when he went to the famous battle of Bosworth, is now in the possession of Mr. Babington, at Rothley Temple, Leicestershire. It is very ponderous, and without being siepected, it Wad tilled with pieces of gold. One his dred and twenty years afterwards, a servant at the inn sweeping under it, struck the bottom and some gold coin fell out. She mentioned the .ircumstauce to her mistress, and some thousand pieces were found in the bottom, head, and hollow pillars. The mistress in consequence became nob; and two of her servants murdered her in the night and carried off the gold; but they were taken and executed. The stone coffin in which Richard was Ln led was taken up about a century ago, and converted into a hursedrough , at the White Horse inn, aid its broken relies were preserved by Mr. Phillips, a bookseller, at Leicester, till they were destroyed by an accidental fire in 1195.
