They then for the first time inhabited cities ( Gen. 47: 3; Ex. 12: 7; Heb. 11: 9). From the earliest times the Assyrians and the Canaanites were builders of cities. The Hebrews after the Conquest took possession of the captured cities, and seem to have followed the methods of building that had been pursued by the Canaanites. Reference is made to the stone ( 1 Kings 7: 9; Isa. 9: 10) and marble ( 1 Chr. 29: 2) used in building, and to the internal wood- work of the houses ( 1 Kings 6: 15; 7: 2; 10: 11, 12; 2 Chr. 3: 5; Jer. 22: 14). " Ceiled houses" were such as had beams inlaid in the walls to which wainscotting was fastened ( Ezra 6: 4; Jer. 22: 14; Hag. 1: 4). " Ivory houses" had the upper parts of the walls adorned with figures in stucco with gold and ivory ( 1 Kings 22: 39; 2 Chr. 3: 6; Ps. 45: 8). The roofs of the dwelling- houses were flat, and are often alluded to in Scripture ( 2 Sam. 11: 2; Isa. 22: 1; Matt. 24: 17). Sometimes tents or booths were erected on them ( 2 Sam. 16: 22). They were protected by parapets or low walls ( Deut. 22: 8). On the house- tops grass sometimes grew ( Prov. 19: 13; 27: 15; Ps. 129: 6, 7). They were used, not only as places of recreation in the evening, but also sometimes as sleeping- places at night ( 1 Sam. 9: 25, 26; 2 Sam. 11: 2; 16: 22; Dan. 4: 29; Job 27: 18; Prov. 21: 9), and as places of devotion ( Jer. 32: 29; 19: 13). HOUSE, estates. A place for the habitation and dwelling of man. This word has several significations, as it is applied to different things. In a grant or demise of a house, the curtilage and garden will pass, even without the words " with the appurtenances," being added. Cro. Eliz. 89; S. C.; 3 Leon. 214; 1 Plowd. 171; 2 Saund. 401 note 2; 4 Penn. St. R; 93. 2. In a grant or demise of a house with the appurtenances, no more, will pass, although other lands have been occupied with the house. 1 P. Wms. 603; Cro. Jac. 526; 2 Co. 32; Co. Litt. 5 d.; Id. 36 a. b.; 2 Saund. 401, note 2. 3. If a house, originally entire, be divided into several apartments, with an outer door to each apartment and no communication with each other subsists, in such case the several apartments are considered as distinct houses. 6 Mod. 214; Woodf. Land. & Ten. 178. 4. In cases of burglary, the mansion or dwelling- house in which the burglary might be committed, at common law includes the outhouses, though not under the same roof or adjoining to the dwelling- house provided they were within the curtilage, or common fence, as the dwelling or mansion house. 3 Inst. 64; 1 Hale, 558; 4 Bl. Com. 225; 2 East, P. C. 493; 1 Hayw. N. C. Rep. 102, 142; 2 Russ. on Cr. 14. 5. The term house, in case of arson, includes not only the dwelling but all the outhouses, as in the case of burglary. It is a maxim in law that every man' s house is his castle, and there he is entitled to perfect security; this asylum cannot therefore be legally invaded, unless by an officer duly authorized by legal process; and this process must be of a criminal nature to authorize the breaking of an outer door; and even with it, this cannot be done, until after demand of admittance and refusal. 5 Co. 93; 4 Leon. 41; T. Jones, 234. The house may be also broken for the purpose of executing a writ of habere facias. 5 Co. 93; Bac. Ab. Sheriff, N 3. 6. The house protects the owner from the service of all civil process in the first instance, but not if he is once lawfully arrested and he takes refuge in his own house; in that case, the officer may pursue him and break open any door for the purpose. Foster, 320; 1 Rolle, R. 138; Cro. Jac. 555; Bac. Ab. ubi sup. In the civil law the rule was nemo de domo sua extrahi debet. Dig. 50, 17, 103. Vide, generally, 14 Vin. Ab. 315; Yelv. 29 a, n. 1; 4 Rawle, R. 342; Arch. Cr. Pl. 251; and Burglary. 7. House is used figuratively to signify a collection of persons, as the house of representatives; or an institution, as the house of refuge; or a commercial firm, as the house of A B & Co. of New Orleans; or a family, as, the house of Lancaster, the house of York. |
