case Moxon vers horsenail all whether chamber in a inn of chancery be within  the word or intent of the stat Elizabeth c rateable to the poor this be a  action of trespass for enter the plaintiff chamber at Bernard inn London and  take his chair value S on not guilty plead the jury find a special verdict to  this effect that the parish of saint Andrew Holborn lie part in London and  part in middle sex that sir Francis child alderman of London on the that of  may appoint overseer for that part within London and two justice of peace  nominate overseer for that part in Middlesex and the churchwarden and overseer  rate the parish to the poor which be approve c and thereby the plaintiff be  rate S that the plaintiff inhabit a chamber in Bernard inn be a attorney of  the king bench and a member of that society and have that chamber for the  exercise of his profession and have no other habitation that Bernard inn lie  in that part of the parish which be within London that the defendant by virtue  of a warrant from sir Francis child then alderman on the that of July on the  plaintiff refusal to pay the rate distrain the say chair be of S value as  overseer of the poor comens and afterward it be appraise and sell for S and  they return the S overplus that there be other chamber in Bernard inn the  occupier of which be also rate that Bernard inn be one of the inn of chancery  use and inhabit by student and practiser of the law time out of mind and  dependent on grey inn as a inn of court for the study and practice of the law  and if the plaintiff on this matter be a person liable to be assess to the say  tax they find for the defendant if not for the plaintiff sergeant wright for  the plaintiff argue that heis not liable to be rate to the poor for his  chamber in this case for if it be within the statute Elizabeth c it must be as  a inhabitant of the parish or as a occupier of a house within the parish by  that statute the churchwarden and overseer may raise a stock for the relief or  employment of the poor by taxation of every inhabitant parson vicar other c  and of every occupier of land house c in the say parish in such competent sum  as they shall think fit the word inhabitant in its large sense comprehend  every person that dwell in a place but that can not be the meaning of the word  in this Act for then all woman servant child c in a parish may be rate which  never be do but it may be take in a more strict sense as where the stat Henry  c for repair bridge enable justice of the peace to tax every inhabitant  Lord Coke say in Inst the Act extend not to every person that have personal  residence as servant c but to such as be householder and this appear by the  four branch of the statute which give distress on every such inhabitant in his  land good chattel c and it have be always hold that by the stat Elizabeth c  the inhabitant be rateable in respect of his land or ability comens so it be  resolve   b and so by the chief justice Eyre in this court Tr Geo it be agree  Fitzgib but the plaintiff be to be consider as a guest occasional reside in  his chamber for the study and practice of the law as a agent indeed for his  client in several part of the kingdom and by the order of all the judge of  England mich Ann the atorneys be order to be admit and take chamber in some  inn of Chancery Dr in lodging near c so that lodging and chamber be look upon  as place of comens er p the same nature a person that come to the term may be  a lodger latch and a person at a chamber in the temple may take a examination  in relation to a robbery as a justice of the peace dwell in or near the  hundred which be in a distant county which show that he be not look on as a  inhabitant at his chamber cro car second the plaintiff can be charge as the  occupier of a house for it be find that there be many chamber in the house and  that he have but one by the case in salk it seem as if the house rateable to  the poor ought to be one entire house though if several house be join into one  and several family live in it or if one house be divide into two for several  family they may be rate several this be hospitium and house hospitium differ  hob a man be not Chargeable for a stand in the market roll Abr roll Rep all  person in college and inn of court man equal be charge sergeant Hawkins contra  the word of the statute Elizabeth c be express that a rate shall be raise by  taxation of every inhabitant and there can be no prescription against a Act of  parliament therefore there be no force in the argument that chamber have not  heretofore be rate a chamber be house mansionalis and burglary may be commit  by break and enter into it with intent to commit a felon resolve cro car  Hales P c p hale p c p comens it be object that the plaintiff be there as a  guest but it be find that he inhabit there and have no other habitation so  that unless rate here he can be rate no where it be charity to the poor which  by the law of God and man every one ought to pay and a attorney have no  privilege to be exempt although he have privilege to excuse himself from a  office that interfere with his attendance at Westminster as to be a soldier  vent to be a reeve c march a attorney be also exempt from be a constable  prouses case cro car in the case refer to in march it be agree by the whole  court that for all office which require a attorney personal and continual  attendance as churchwarden constable and the like he shall have his privilege  but for office which may be execute by deputy and do not require attendance  such as recorder and the like that for they he shall not have his privilege  although by great Charta it be enact that church sit liberan yet a parson c be  subject to all charge by Act of parliament lev much more therefore a attorney  nor can any order of court exempt they in reply it be admit that a attorney  can not claim any exemption in respect of his profession c but the sole  question be whether chamber in a inn of chancery be within the word or intent  of the stat Elizabeth c rateable to the poor rate if they be so no  prescription no order of court can exempt they but that they have be charge no  instance can be give and it will be equal the case of all scholar fellow or  student in the university or inn of court therefore adjornatur I have make  much enquiry respect the subject of the present case and find that the ancient  inn of court and chancery be exempt from poor rate not upon the ground of  their be inn of court but on account of the site of they be extraparochial if  however any enlargement be make as have be the case in Lincoln inn and the  foundation upon which that enlargement be build be not extraparochial the  inhabitant of chamber thus situate be rateable to the poor rate within the  intent of the statute Elizabeth c
