QUEEN NOW BENCHER OF MIDDLE TEMPLE
(Rec. 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 13. The Queen last night was admitted as a student of the Middle Temple, called to the bar and made a bencher of the Inn, all within 10 minutes, after which she had dinner with the benchers. She is the first woman bencher of the Middle Temple, but not the first woman bencher, for Queen Mary became a bencher of Lincoln’s Inn last year, though she was not present when called, because of the war. The first Queen Elizabeth, 400 years ago, was a frequent visitor to the Middle Temple, but was not a bencher.
