Talk:Doctors' Commons

Untitled
The use of "civilian lawyer" in this article is archaic and specialised, and a way should really be found to phrase things in a way which is less likely to cause confusion. Merchbow 21:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Last Fellow
The main article states that the society of Doctors' Commons was never formally dissolved, but perished with the death of its last Fellow, Herbert Jenner-Fust, in 1904. However, that name is linked to the article about Sir Herbert Jenner-Fust, who is stated to have lived from 1778 to 1852. Could two different people (possibly father and son) have been confused here?

not really useful
What _would_ be useful is to explain why Doctors' Commons is mentioned in so many English novels with reference to special marriage licenses and the morals of married women, as in Susan Ferrier's Marriage. 4.249.3.151 (talk) 00:41, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

A legend about the wind at Doctors' Commons

 * In a book about the Great Fire of London I read that there was always or often a wind blowing at the corner of Doctors' Commons (in reality perhaps caused by the layout of the buildings), because once the Devil was riding on the wind when he came to Doctors' Commons and went inside, and "he found the company of the lawyers so congenial that he is still in there, and the wind is still waiting outside for him [to come out and ride away].".
