INN of COURT, fo called, becaufe the ftudents there¬ 
in do not only ftudy the law to enable them to praclife 
-in the courts in Weftminller, but alfo purfue fuch other 
ftudies as may render them better qualified to ferve the 
king in his court. Fortefcue, c. 49. Of thefe (fays fir Ed¬ 
ward Coke) there are four well known, viz. the Inner 
Temple, Middle Temple, Lincoln’s Inn, and Gray’s Inn ; 
which, with the two Serjeants’ Inns, and eight Inns of 
Chancery, viz. Clifford’s Inn, Symond’s Inn, Clement’s 
Inn, Lyon’s Inn, Furnival’s Inn, Staple’s Inn, Bernard’s 
Inn, and Thaive’s Inn, (to which is fince added New 
Inn,) make the moft famous univerfity for profeftion of 
the law, or of any one human fcience in the world. 
At the time previous to, and for fome time after, the 
Norman conquell, the knowledge of the laws of England, 
as well as the adminiftration of them, were chiefly con¬ 
fined to ecclefiaftical perfons, the unfettled ftate of the 
kingdom obliging the nobility and gentry at thole pe¬ 
riods rather to additft themfelves to the practice of arms 
than the attainment of literature ; and in confequence we 
find, that moft of the juftices of the king’s court, as well as 
thofe called itinerant, before the time of Henry III. were 
bilhops, abbots, deans,canons in cathedral churches, arch¬ 
deacons, &c. and the chancellorfhip wasexercifed by clergy¬ 
men even fo late as the reign of Henry VII. But, when 
by Magna Cliarta it was appointed that “common pleas 
fliould not thenceforth follow the court, but be held in 
fome certain place,” and that certain place was eftablifhed 
in Weftminller Hall, fuch eftablifhment of this principal 
court of common law at that particular juncture, by af¬ 
fording a greater certainty as well to ftudents as the pe¬ 
culiar minifters of each court where to exercife them¬ 
felves, gave rife to the inns- of conn in its neghbourhood, 
collecting thereby the whole body of common lawyers,, 
who would moft likely then begin to fix and fettle in cer¬ 
tain places and ftations inoft proper for their ftudies, con¬ 
ference, and practice. And that this was the fadl, and 
that thefe places were near the courts, we have the evi¬ 
dence of a precept of that age, which prohibited that the 
ftudy of the law fliould be in any other places but at thefe 
inns of court: For there were before that time, it feems, 
fome- fchoolsfet up in the city for reading and teaching 
the laws; but the king (Henry III.) thought fit to have 
them reftrained by proclamation. 
We may thus conclude, though, the regifters being 
loft, we have no memorial of the direct time, nor abfolute 
certainty,
