INN 
14.84 the fame fir Thomas Grey had a new leafe thereof by 
the name of Hofpicium vocation Serjeants Inne in Chancelers- 
lane, atiiii/. perann. doing all repairs; which rent he paid 
rill the year 14905 how much longer does not appear; for 
in 1492 it was in the bifhop’s hand for lack of a tenant; 
but after this it was but a while out of the judges’ and 
ferjeants’tenancy; for in 1508 (which was the 1 aft year 
of the reign of king Henry vn.) it was demifed by in¬ 
denture, by the name of Hofpicium in Chancelers-lane voca- 
tum Serjeant's Inne, to John Mordaunt and Humphery Co- 
ningfby, (then two of the king’s ferjeants at law,) at the 
lent of iiii/. per ann. keeping all repairs. 
Serjeants’ Inn, Fleet-fircet. This inn retains its anci¬ 
ent name, but is at prefent little more than a mere pri¬ 
vate court, having been deferted by the judges on the 
buildings of the old inn falling to decay. It adjoins the 
north-eaft corner of the Temple, with which it has a 
communication by means of a narrow paflage; but the 
principal entrance is from Fleet-ftreet, where there are 
handfome iron gates, and was formerly a lodge, and a 
porter kept. 
This place was a refidenceof the ferjeants at law at leaft 
as early as the reign of Henry VI. and apparently before; 
for in the year 1442 it is demifed under the following 
law-Latin defcription of union mejfuagium cum gardino , in 
parochia S. Dunjlani in Fleet-Jlreet, in fuburbio civitatis Land, 
quod nuper fuit Johan ms Rote, et in quo Joh. Ellcrkor, et alii 
fervientes ad legem, nuper inhabitarunt. The above leafe was 
granted by the dean and chapter of York, wh'ofe eftate it 
-then was, (and poiTibly now is,) to one William Antrous, 
citizen and tailor of London, for eighty years, at the rent 
of ten marks a-year. This perfon is fuppofed to have 
been a fort of Iteward to the judges, and to have occupied 
fome part of the manfion liimfelf; for in a lecond leafe, 
afterwards made to John Wykes by the fame dean and 
chapter (viz. in 1474) for the like rent and term, it is ex- 
prefsly Itated, that the faid John Wykes inhabited therein. 
In the 15th of Henry VIII. this inn was by a third leafe, 
bearing date the 20th of June, demifed by the faid dean 
and chapter dire&ly to iir Lewes Pollard, knight, then 
one of the juftices of the court of common pleas, and others, 
for the term of thirty-one years, at the rent of 53s. paya¬ 
ble half-yearly. 
The ancient inn having been burnt down in the fire of 
London, on the leafe being renewed by the dean and 
chapter in 1670, the whole was rebuilt by a voluntary fub- 
feription of the judges and ferjeants; but it has been 
again rebuilt within thefe few years; and on the fite of 
the ancient hall, (which was long uled as a chapel,) the 
Amicable Society have lately ereCted a very elegant build¬ 
ing for the tranfaftion of their bufinefs, which is a great 
ornament to the place. 
Scroope’s Inn was an inn for ferjeants at the law in 
the time of Richard Ill. It took its name from having 
been once the town-houfe of one of the lords Scroope of 
Bolton, as appears by the ancient accounts of the bailiffs 
to the bifttop of Ely, whofe palace it adjoined. By an 
inquifition taken the 13 Oct. 14 Hen. VII. it appears, that 
fir Guy Fairfax, knight, a judge of the King’s Bench, 
and then deceafed, was leifed of the fame by the name of 
One mefluage or tenement, called Serjeants’ Inn, fituate 
in Holborn, oppofite to St. Andrew’s church, with two 
gardens and two cottages thereto adjoining; and being fo 
feifed, by his deed indented, bearing date the 8th Feb. 9 
Hen. VII. did pafs the fame to fir John Scro.pe, knight, 
lord Scrape of Bolton, and others, to the ufe of the "laid 
John, his heirs and afiigns for ever. The fite of this inn 
is now called Scroope’s-court.
