Sir Bartholomew Shower, in his Vindication of the Magiftracy and Go-
vernment of England, characterizes the years 1571 and 1662 as remark-
able for the learning and integrity of the Judges. This publication al-

Lord C. J. Wrayf and Judge Turner. The latter inherited the pof-
feffions of his family at Milton-Ernys, and dying in 1675, aged 68,
was buried there, and a handfome monument was ereCted to his memory.
