Blackstone
A Dream
Once upon a time no matter when it can no have
been long ago – I – no matter who I am – dreamed a
dream.
Methought me I was in the Lecture Room
of the Lincoln University. The forms were filled with
Scholars. At the upper end On an elevated station before a long Bench were placed four
desks or boxes similar to those which are p in the
Westminster Hall Courts are placed before the Judges.
On a lower elevation under one of the four boxes
was a seat with another such box before it.
While I was wondering what this could be
how it could be that I was in a London University Lecture
Room and in a Westminster Hall Court at the same
entrant from a door behind the upper Bench from personages
in female attire and each in a robe of ceremony: the train
of one of them having for its bearer the a person of the
male sex masculine gender clad in the sort of robe of a worn by a Doctor
of Law in the University of Oxford.
Of these venerable Ladies the eldest walked in first and
took the seat taken in a Westminster Hall Court by the
Lord Chief Justice. On her right hand seated hereself
one of the three younger Ladies: on her left hand, the two
others. On the seat below immediately under the Lady put on the left side to the Chief Lady seated himself the Doctor
of Law.
