But where a tenant shall quit, on the termination of the lease or demise, and shall give notice thereof to the assessor, the duty shall be discharged for the remainder of that year, in case it shall appear to the commissioners, at the end of such year, that such house shall have continued wholly unoccupied for the remainder of such year.

4. Every house, whereof the keeping is left to the care of any person or servant, shall be subject to the like duties as if it were inhabited by the owner or a tenant; and, if such person shall not pay rates to the church and poor, the said duties shall be paid by the owners or tenant.

5. Every window, including the frame, partitions, and

divisions thereof, which by due admeasurement of the whole space on the aperture of the wall of the house or building, on the outside of such window, shall exceed in height twelve feet, or in breadth four feet nine inches, shall be charged as two windows, except such as shall have been made of greater dimensions prior to the 5th of April, 1785; except also the windows in shops, workshops, and warehouses, and except the windows in the public room of any house licensed to sell wine, ale, &c. by retail, used for the entertainment of guests; and the windows in farm-houses especially exempted from the duties on houses.

6. Every window extended so far as to give light into more rooms, landings, or stories than one, shall be charged as so many separate windows.

7. When a partition or division between two or more windows fixed in one frame, is of the breadth of twelve inches, the window on each side shall be charged as a distinct window.
