Palace. A palace, which is a royal residence, is privileged from the execution of legal process within its precints; but the privilege does not, it seems, extend to a royal palace, e.g., Hampton Court, which is not a royal residence: see A.-G.v. Dakin, (1869-70) LR 4 HL 338, where there was a remarkable difference of opinion amongst the judges, Combe v. De la Bere, (1881) 22 Ch D 316.
