Synopsis

Argument In The Case Of The Poor's Rate Charged On The Colleges Of Christ And Emmanuel, In The University Of Cambridge, 1768 by Sir James Marriott. This historical legal tract presents a bench-side argument about the eligibility of Cambridge's colleges for the poor's rate; it discusses the exemption of eleemosynary foundations, the scope of the statute 43 Eliz. and the later 16 Geo. 2, and whether the University and its colleges should bear or share parochial charges. The author considers long-standing usage, charter rights, and the nature of occupancy and servitude within collegiate estates, arguing that the university's colleges are exempt from the rate and that any attempt to rate them would broaden parochial boundaries and undermine established privileges. The treatise cites authorities and contemplates potential court outcomes, offering a reasoned defense of collegiate immunities and the balance of public responsibility and educational foundations.
