such persons as are admitted for their money, to live in the same house or cottage with another man, in different rooms, but going in at the same door; being usually supposed to be poor, and not able to maintain a whole house themselves. These are inquirable in a court-leet.—No owner or occupier of a cottage shall suffer any inmates therein, or more families than one to inhabit there, on pain of forfeiting 10s. per month to the lord of the leet.
