Foul exhibition: for readers who have a pile of manure in the office they simply do not know what to do with - no, we're not talking about the senior partner - help is at hand. The Law Society library has launched an exhibition of 'curiosities' donated to the library since it was set up in the1820s, including a handy text book on the 'best use of manure'. Other tidbits, dating back as far as the 16th century, include a warrant signed by Charles II, a reward poster for a stolen horse, an illustrated guide to pubs of the Wye Valley and 368 Gazette articles on solicitors bemoaning the demise of legal aid. Okay, we made that last one up.
