Roger North gives an instance of the lawyer’s absurd attachment to mere forms. In his days the Court of Common Pleas used to sit in Westminster Hall, close to the great door, in order that suitors and their train might readily pass in and out. When the wind was in the north, this situation was found very cold, and it was proposed to move the court farther back, to a warmer place. “But the Lord Chief Justice Bridgman,” says North, “would not agree to it, as it was against Magna Charta, which says that the Common Pleas shall be held in certo loco (in a certain place), with which the distance of an inch from that place is inconsistent, and all the pleas would be coram non judice (before one who is not the proper judge).” (Text.)—Croake James, “Curiosities of Law and Lawyers.”
