^{page 178 note *} This passage is quoted by Hone in his “Every-Day Book” (1827, &c. 8vo.), under 1 October; but the passage does not appear in Fuller's Worthies of England— at least under Essex. Inanother popular book, “The Mirror” (1828, 8vo.) xii. 251–2, is a brief account of the Court, evidently taken from Morant.
