REPORTS of CASES upon Appeals and Writs of Error determined in the High Court of Parliament. By Josiah Brown, Barrister-at-Law. Second Edition by Tomlins. Vol. VII. TAXES. case 1.-heebekt eandolph,-Appellant; william bkockman,-Respondent [17th January 1706]. [The owner of a fee-farm rent issuing out of a manor, shall only pay taxes for the rent in proportion as the manor is taxed.] [Decree of the Court of Exchequer affirmed.] The respondent was seised of a fee-farm rent of 260 18s. 4Jd. issuing out of the manor of Aldington, in the county of Kent; and the appellant was seised in fee of the manor itself, subject to the payment of this yearly rent.
