effigies, the original sculptured heads in the Round Church, the triforium, and the fittings of the Choir, are all worthy of attention. The north side of the church has recently been laid open by the removal of adjoining buildings; and in their place some handsome chambers are erected. Hard by, in the churchyard, is the grave of Oliver Goldsmith, who died in chambers (since pulled down) in Brick Court. The Sunday services are very fine, and always attract many strangers. The _Temple Gardens_, fronting the river, are probably the best in the city. _Lincoln’s Inn_ was once the property of the De Lacie, Earl of Lincoln. It became an Inn of Court in 1310. The fine new hall—worth seeing—was opened in 1845. The Chapel was built in 1621–3, by Inigo Jones. He also laid out the large garden in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, close by, in 1620. Lord William Russell was beheaded here in 1683. In Lincoln’s Inn are the Chancery and Equity Courts. _Graves Inn_, nearly opposite the north end of Chancery Lane, once belonged to the Lords Gray of Wilton. It was founded in 1357. Most of its buildings—except its hall, with black oak roof—are of comparatively modern date. In Gray’s Inn lived the great Lord Bacon, a tree planted by whom, in the quaint old garden of the Inn, can yet be seen propped up by iron stays. Charles the First, when Prince Charles, was an honorary member of Gray’s Inn, and Bradshaw, who tried him, was one of its benchers. _Sergeant’s Inn_, Chancery Lane, is what its name denotes—the Inn of the sergeants-at-law. _Sergeants Inn_, Fleet Street, is let out in chambers to barristers, solicitors, and the general public. The last remark applies to the other small Inns of Chancery in and about Holborn and Fleet Street. Till the new _Law_ Courts are erected in Central Strand, London has no Courts of Law well built or convenient. The _Westminster Courts_ are little better than wooden sheds. So are the _Lincoln’s Inn Courts_. But they still are worth a visit. At the _Old Bailey_, near Newgate, is the _Central Criminal Court_, for the trial of prisoners accused of crimes committed within ten miles of St. Paul’s. Nominally, this court is free; but practically, a small _douceur_ is always extorted by the ushers for a place. In the other courts this practice of ‘tipping’ is less common. The _Bankruptcy Court_, in Basinghall Street, the _Clerkenwell Sessions House_, the _County Courts_, and the _Police Courts_, are other establishments connected with the administration of justice; but the business of the first will shortly be transferred westward.
