The Middle Temple ! its History and Associations. (Abram and

Sons.)—The author gives a very brief and, it must be owned, dis- appointing account of his subject. We notice one rather misleading statement. At the end of a very scanty roll of deceased worthies, we find " Sir William I3ovill, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, who teied the famous Tichborne ease." Sir William Bovill tried the first case, the case of the pseudo Sir Roger, but not the indictment for perjury, which is now generally known as the Tich- borne case.
