Meaning of Common bawdy-house
This is a term sometimes used in English law to mean what is sometimes otherwise called “house of ill-fame,” or simply “bawdyhouse,” or more commonly “brothel.” Primarily it means vi ex termini, a house, but in the law it means also a room or set of rooms in a house, kept for purposes of prostitution. Rex V. Pierson (1700) ; Salk. 382; Singleton v. Ellison (1895) ; 1 Q. B. 607. Such a place so kept comes within the definition, whatever the outside appearance, whether indecent or disorderly or not.
