Report to the King from Treasurer Latimer on the petition of
the Doctors of the Society of Doctors' Commons and on the
evidences of their privileges. After conference with the
Judges of the Common Law I am of opinion that said society
ought to pay towards the Eighteen Months' assessment proportionable
to the ground rent of their house called Doctors'
Commons and so likewise to other taxes. But none of the
Doctors of that Society ought to pay or be taxed particularly
for their lodgings or studies or residence there (they being
there for judging of causes and practice in their profession as
the judges and serjeants at the Serjeants Inns are for theirs).
Neither are the said Society of Doctors to be burthened with
bearing of arms or any other office, military or civil, nor any
of the Doctors residing there, they having respectively houses
and lands in other places, where they pay to said tax and
other taxes proportionably to their estates. I am, therefore,
of opinion said Society should enjoy the same exemptions,
freedoms and privileges at the Doctors' Commons as the
Judges and Serjeants enjoy at the Serjeants' Inns in London.
