- 1839, The Parliament at Westminster, The Parliamentary Debates, volume 50, pages 152–153:
- But to re-enact a temporary law, your Lordships not knowing from this Bill how that tempory law will act, is in opposition to the presumption that, being a tempory law, it is not a law to be re-enacted, or to be re-enacted in its original state.
- 1859, John Walker, A Critical Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language:
- Place where the watch or guard is set; a tempory prison for offenders previous to their being brought before the magistrate, now called a Station-house.
