To what sessions appeals against rates shall be made
|
8. And whereas by the Proof Relief (Ireland) Act, 1838, the power of appeal against a rate was given in certain cases to any session of the peace to be held in the presence of the assistant barrister in and for the county in which such rate should have been made, and by the Poor Relief (Ireland) Act, 1839, it was enacted, that every such appeal should be made and heard and the matter thereof determined by any general or quarter sessions of the peace held for the county, county of a city, or county of a town in which the cause of complaint may have arisen, although such session should not be held in the presence of an assistant barrister: And whereas certain unions extend over portions of counties and portions of counties of cities and towns, and doubts have arisen whether in such case an appeal against a rate ought to be made to the sessions of the peace for the county or county of the city or town in which the workhouse of the union is situate, or to the sessions of the peace in which the rateable hereditament in respect of which the appeal is intended to be made is situate, and it is expedient to remove such doubts: Be it enacted, that in case the rateable hereditament in respect of which any appeal against a rate is intended to be brought shall be situate or arise wholly within any county at large, or wholly within any county of a city or town for which a general or quarter sessions of the peace shall be held, the appeal against such rate shall be made to the sessions of the peace of the county or county of the city or town (as the case may be) within which such hereditament shall be situate or arise; and in case such hereditament shall be situate or arise partly within a county at large and partly within a county of a city or town for which a general or quarter sessions shall be held, then to the sessions of such county at large or such county of a city or town to which the appellant shall choose to appeal.
