2. It is not easy to say what comes within and what is excluded from
the meaning of out-house. It has been decided that a school-room, separated
from the dwelling-house by a narrow passage about a yard wide, the roof of

together with some other, and the court which enclosed them, being rented by
the same person, was properly described as an out-house: Russ. & R. C. C.
