 COUNTUY INNS AND PUBLIC HOUSES. 083 tap-room, ten feet by eleven feet six inches ; c, the bar, which has a projecting window, and a h'ght into the passage ; this room measures twelve feet by nine feet six inches, including the bay window ; dand e are the parlours for the use of the more distinguished visiters ; f is the kitchen, twelve feet by twelve feet ; g is the scullery, twelve feet by seven feet six inches, which opens into the fold-yard; h is the staircase to communicate with the chamber story ; and i is a small pantry, or store-closet. Cellars are supposed to be under the two parlours and the bar ; and from the latter room a staircase gives access to them. In the chamber floor, fig. 1304, there are five bed-rooms and a small 130r closet, from which a communication may be made to servants' bed-rooms in the roof. It is not deemed necessary to show the yard and out-buildings, as the arrangement depends entirely on circumstances of a local nature ; but they must, of course, include brewhouse, wash-house, stables, poultry-houses, pigsties, sheds, &c., the cost of which is not included in the estimate. 1435.

The cellars must be sunk at least eight feet below the under side of the plinth ; and the walls built of rough stone ten inches in thickness, well grouted and throughed (with cross-tie stones), with ten-inch brick arches turned over the whole.

The external walls to be of stone eighteen inches thick, walled rough for stucco or sand-dashing (rough-casting). The plinth, sills, and labels to be of ashlar tooled. The internal walls to be brick, nine inches in thickness ; the chimney- flues to be about ten inches in diameter, well pargeted. The shafts and caps to be wrought according to the drawing, fig. 1305, in tooled ashlar. There are to be flagged floors to the porch, tap-room, kitchen, and scullery ; well-squared solid stone steps to the portico, twelve-inch tread, and seven-inch rest ; there are to be six reveals to all the openings in the building, and the jambs inwards are to be splayed. Stone chimney-pieces, and cleansed (rubbed) hearths to all the rooms.
