COURT OF KING'S BENCH. 1 THE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF MINSTER. This was an application against an order of Sessions, relative to the settlement of a pauper under the following circumstances:—The pauper had been engaged as bailiff to a person at Bi- shop's Stortford, and, by his asreemenf, lie was to have apartments in the house, and feed for two cows upon his master's land, valued at Zio. per annum, and which was to go in part of his wages. The question Vias, whether this payment and occupation conferred a settlement on the pauper. Mr Bolland now contended., in support of the order of Sessions, that it did not confer a settle- ment s and, in support of this opinion, urged, that it might as well be contended, that the ser- vice of a butler in a gentleman's family, he also occupying an apartment in his master's bouse, confirmed a setikment. Mr. Adolphus, an the submitted that the case of the butler was not a case in point.— ihe apartment occupied by him in his master's house was necessary for the discharge of the du- ties of his office hut it wasltotsoin the present case, and, as a proof of it., it appeared, that the apartments, and feed for the cows, were consi- dered as a set o!F in his wages, to the amount of 1:1 10 a year. This was a sum paid, therefore, to the master as rent and he submitted, under the statute of Charles l f. conferred a settlement. The .Court were of this opinion, and decided, that the pauper bad gained a settlement under this agreement. The orderof Sessions therefore was quashed. -i. _n_
