Ixii INTRODUCTION. College and the College of Physicians, arising from the election of Dr. Crosbie, who was chosen by the Physicians to be Presi- dent of their College, but rejected by Trinity College, as dis- qualified, being a Roman Catholic. The College of Physicians, upon this, made a proposal to Trinity College, to cancel by mutual consent the articles agreed to between the two Colleges in 1680. To this Trinity College consented, provided the Physicians would deliver up all papers and documents in their possession, relating to Trinity Hall, and sign a release from all grants and deeds, made by Tri- nity College, concerning Trinity Hall. Trinity College also pro- posed to give a lease of 40 years to the College of Physicians, on such terms as might be agreed upon. The Hall seems to have been again given up to Trinity College, in 1692, when the second Charter of the College of Physicians was obtained.* The site of Trinity Hall continues to be the property of Trinity College, who seem to have once more converted it into a Grammar School, probably to keep up their original agreement with the City. We find entries in the Books of Trinity College to this effect.*' The old College of Physicians, or the original Bridewell, seems to have consisted of a good-sized qua- drangle.*^ It occupied the western end of what is now St. " Belcher, Register, p. 18.
