Law Courts at St. Alban

By Σ.

Can any of your correspondents give me the reference to a communication in the *Gentleman's Magazine* (between, I think, the years 1815 and 1836), in which a passage in Massinger, which alludes to lawyers going to St. Albans, is illustrated by an inscription in the nave of St. Alban's Abbey Church, which records that the courts were held there on account of the sweating-sickness in the reign of Elizabeth?
