What reading level is The Laws Lumber Room book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
SANCTUARY 89 the judges bade bim put her back again, ■whereat the learned shook their heads, opining that hard cases make bad law, and the jade should have swung like other folk.
On the whole the privilege was strictly- respected. For instance, the King's justices were wont to hold session in St Martin's Gate. They sat on the very border. The accused were placed on the other side of the street ; a channel ran between them and their judges, and if they once got across that they claimed sanctuary..., and all proceedings against them were annulled. And one sees the reason why Perkin Warbeck took such care " to squint one eye upon the crown and the other on the Sanctuary" (as Bacon curiously phrases it) ; yet the great case of Beckett is there to show that nothing was absolutely sacred in these violent years. Nor does it stand alone. In 1191, Jeffrey, Archbishop of York, and son of Henry II. , was seized at the altar of St Martin's Priory, Dover ; and dragged, episcopal robes and all.
90 THE LAW'S LUMBER ROOM through dirty streets to the Castle : this, too, by order of William Longchamp, Bishop of Ely, and Papal Legate.
