The Common Fleas
Note No. 0002 "Moore, James J. (1878). The historical handbook and guide to Oxford: embracing a succinct history of the university and city from the year 912. Thomas Shrimpton and Son. ISBN 1437309445. 'The Tradescant Collection was the most popular and curious show of the day, and attracted many visitors. It was named the Museum Tradescantianum, or Tradescant's Ark. Elias Ashmole lodged with Tradescant at Lambeth,and Tradescant bequeathed the Museum to him. When Ashmole gained possession of the Museum he added many varieties to it, including coins, MSS., medals, paintings, and the Library of Lilly, the celebrated astrologer, which he purchased for £50. Ashmole was the son of a saddler at Lichfield, born, according to his own statement, at near half an-hour after three o'clock in the morning, on the 23rd day of May, 1617. He was successively a solicitor in Chancery, an attorney in the Common Fleas a gentleman in the Ordnance (when Oxford was garrisoned by a royal army), an exciseman, a freemason, astrologer, botanist, chemist, anatomist, physician, and a learned herald. Heraldry seems to have been his forte, and astrology his foible. He was the author of the History of the Garter In 1669 he received the honour of 'Doctor of Phisick' at Oxford, the diploma bemg presented by Dr. Yates, Principal of Brasenose College.'"

This is rather presumptuous, particularly when the source is a quote; but I really feel that should be Common Pleas in which he was attorney, and not Common Fleas. Could be wrong. Claverhouse (talk) 21:06, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
