9. [Recital of 1 & 2 Vict. c. 56. s. 106 as to appeals from convictions in penalties exceeding five pounds or from rates made under that Act.] Every such appeal may 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, in the same manner in all respects as is provided by the said Act, although such sessions be not held in the presence of an assistant barrister; and [rep. 55 & 56 Vict. c. 19 (S.L.R.).] in the case of an appeal against a rate when the rateable hereditament in respect of which the rate is made and the cause of complaint arises is situate within the limits of the jurisdiction of two or more such sessions, then to the sessions of the peace of a county in preference to that of a county of a city or town; and when the jurisdictions are of the same nature, then to the sessions which the appellant shall choose to appeal to.
