Excerpt from Star Chamber Cases: Showing What Cases Properly Belong to the Cognizance of That Court The Court of Star Chamber "is now, " says Lord Coke, "and of ancient time hath been called the Chamber of the Stars, the Star Chamber, the Starred Chamber, in respect the roof of the court is garnished with golden stars. In all records in Latin it is called camera stellata." The Council itself, whether Parliament was assembled or not, held its sittings in the "Starred Chamber, " situated in the outermost quadrangle of the Palace, next the bank of the river, and consequently easily accessible to the suitors, and which at length was permanently appropriated to the use of the Council. "The Lords sitting in the Starre Chamber" became a phrase. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
