| Description | Case for an opinion relating to the settlement of Henry Carr. About five years ago, Carr came into the township of Egton, and was an exciseman there for three years, during which time he was assessed for land tax. He left his job as an exciseman and is likely to become chargeable, and so is to be removed with his family from Egton to Upleatham, where he had rented [at] £10 a year, before he went to Egton. The question is whether Carr gained a settlement by paying land tax in Egton
The opinion of E. Clive at York is that paying land tax did give Carr a settlement in Egton |
