had
a House the property of the known assigned to him in which he
was
bound
to reside and without the permission of the Government he could not reside elsewhere
while holding his office. Yet upon the authority of the Queen & Terrott, he
was
not exempted entirely from the Rate, but held liable rateably for the excess of accommodation above that
which was reasonably necessary for the performance of his public duties.
I cannot but think that the principle laid down in those decisions, must guide the case of Captain Barney whose occupancy of his house is not compulsory, and entirely for purposes unconnected with his public
Duties.
Having regard however to the weight
which is due to the opinion of my learned Predecessor and to the importance of the subject I hope the question will be referred home for solution.
