This question on summons Avas heard before the
Stipendiary and ably argued on both sides. The Solicitor
to the Council relied upon certain leading cases and the
facts to prove the yard was a curtilage to the stables
generally. On the other side it was contended that the
houses being more of the nature of stables than houses,
this common yard could not be said to be the curtilage of
any one of them or the curtilage of all of them, and that
the idea of curtilage was insuperably connected with that of
dwelling house and could not be applied to stables. The
Stipendiary adopted this view and gave his judgment in
favour of the defendants, but granted a "case."
