which passed in 1819, all settlements depended upon the statute 13
o
fettled in any tenement of the yearly value o; £lO, and who might
reside thereon for forty days. By the word testament, in its ex.
tended sense, everything that could be holden was intended, (a
, Bi. Com. b. 2, c. 16); bat in its confined oe vulgar acceptation, it
denoted only houses or other buildings in which persons dwelt. it
was this sense which the Act 13 and 14 Car. It. seemed co hive
contensplated when the word "tenement" was used. Now,
acting upon that construction, part of a house had been consi-
dered a tenement, and in Rex v. Whitechapel," Bolt 154, a
furnished room was held to be a tenement, without rualsitg
any distinctioti as to separating the rent for the room and the
furniture. The doctrine bad also been carried so tar as es
rule that the master of a charity school, at a fixed salary, remov-
able at pleasure, who lived seven years in a house attached to his
office, rent free, gained a good settlement, Rea es Lakeuheath,)
1 Br. C. 531. It bad also been ruled that a person return( two
pieces of ground, on one of which stood a cottage where he resided,
and each of which separately taken was under stiO value, though
jointly equal to that sum, gained a settlement, (N. P. 1. 27). Aid
the reason of this and similar determinationsveas, that apetion who
was capable of being tenant of premises ut £lO annual value, should
not be supposed likely to become chargeable toe parish. iNow,ifa
man renting a tenement of Xi() annual value, before 1819, gamed a
settlement, the rent he paid must be taken as the critcnon.of the value
of the tenement demised; and that this opinion was wended stn
correct principles,—vis. that the rent alone was the material pert
to be inquired into—it had been held to be a sufficient holdingd
such a tenement to gain settlement, it the tenant occupied fur forty
days. The rent, therefore, being the criterion of the 'aloe, and a
part of a house, even though furnished, hems c.iiisidered a viol
tenement to gain a settlement, it had been ruled, that where the
Sessions found that the amount of the rent paid was mote than HY
per annum, the Court would conclude that the tenentent was sf
that value, although it was stated that some personal chattels were
likewise demised as furniture, and firing found by the landlord by
the week (Res v. Whitechapel). Also where a stock ail hones,
ropes, and other thinga necessary for working a colliery, were de-
mised with the colliery, the benefit derived from occupying those
moveables was not considered pa. reducing the value below 101
because there appeared no separate value tot med or applicable to
MOOR things.
Mr. Hubler contended, that upon those arguments and ded
,fens, it was evident that the pauper bad gained a good senti-
ment, (or as there was no separation of the demise into so myth
(or rent, and so much for furniture, it niust be taken as a whisk;
but even after estimating the value of the articles which wets
demised with the tenement he occupied; yet at the utmost liter
could not reduce the value of the tenement below Aid, and its that
,ease he would be an occupier of a tenement of the value of £lO.
The Loan MAYOR said, that he considered upon this shewbg
that he was justified in making the order of removal.
Mr. Hobler added, that in the cases of Ladies of a certtio de-
scription, we all knew that aome of them had lodgings for which
they paid at the rate of two, three, and four guineas a week.
The, Luau Mayo& with a smile said, that he was not aware of
that fact, although Mr. Hobler might have reason for knowing it.
Mr. Holster said, that it would be moot unreasonable to seppow„
that persona who peid at so enormous a rate should, upon a gnevoin
exigency, be denied parish relief.
The Luau MARRS agreed in this view of the subject, and stated,
that if the parish of Gambill thought proper to dispute the order,
they must make their appeal at the Quarter Stations. _
The order was accordingly made out.
Application was made to the Lord Mayor to manumit ten slave,
the property of a Gentleman in the island of Barbadoes. It wa
mentioned on the occasion that an act of Asseinbly was about to
pass in Barbadoes, in order to facilitate the manumission of slaves.
It would then be unnecessary to apply m this country upon any oc-
casion of the kind, as the deposit of £5O or £lOO required by the
overseers of the poor would no longer be considered necruary to
be made. The object of making manumission in this country is,
for the purpose of avoiding the expense incurred by the proceeding
lin the island—expense which in many instances retards, and in rime
totally checks, the merciful intentions of humane slave proprietors.
Several slaves have been manumitted by the Bishop of liarbador+
and Lord Combemere, since the departure of the latter for India.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A respectable looking lad was charged with having picked the
pocket of down Petoyski, a Russian Nobleman, of a valuable ea
snuff-box, on the Bth of June last, near blivart's Hotel, in Upper
Brook-street. As the Count was at present on the Continent, the
prisoner was remanded.
BOW-STREET.
Yesterday a Slaughtertnan was charged, before Sir Ricease
BMUS, on suspicion of receiving four bullocks, for the purpose of
Wag slaughtered, knowing them to be stolen.
It appeared that on the night of Sunday last, four bullocks, the
property of Joseph Whailer and John French, of Plaistow, Ewes,
Were stolen from a field belonging to the prosecutors, who, CIDII4
RR immediate pursuit, succeeded in tracing their property to a
slaughter.hoese in Newport-market, a few hours after the filmy
was committed. The beasts had been slaughtered and prepared
for ale, but their hides were discovered and fully identified by the
prosecutors. The prisoner being the person who, according to his
own admission, received the beasts from the supposed thieves, was
suspected to Ce aware of the robbery. He denied, however, all
guilty knowledge of the transaction, and said that two own CROW to
the daughter-house on Monster morning, at four o'clock, driving the
beasts before them, which they directed him to slaughter, desiring
him to mark two of them with the letter D for Davis, and the other
two with the initial F. for Fox. They told him that they lived in
Paddington, near the Regent's Park, where they had lately taken
a shop, and that they would send for the offal when the beasts were
slaughtered. A man was accordingly sent to the slaughter-bola,
with a cart drawn by two dogs, to whom the prisoner said he der
livered the offal after the beasts were killed. No person, however,
had conic forward to claim the carcasses.
