Historically
English Commonwealth where such rights were undeniably defunct, or for a moderate degree of violence that may have been used, such as might have resulted in a manslaughter charge were the victim not a bailiff, is unrecorded. The Abbey's Sanctuary extended beyond, as far as the north side of Parliament Square to a short approach, Thieving Lane, through which thieves were taken to the prison (see Richard II's gatehouse, Old Palace Yard) without entering sanctuary and being able to claim its immunity,[1] but in the tenements of which prostitution took hold. HM Treasury
is built upon its site, leading to accusations that thieving still continues there, especially at times of higher taxation or departmental cuts.
