R. OR-RATE APPILAL.—A case came on in which
Messrs. Bloomer Brothers, nail manufacturers, of
Halesowen, were the appellants, and the Assess,-
ment Committee of the Stourbridge Poor-law Union
were the respondents. Mr. J. B. Shepherd (Stour-
bridge) was for the appellants and Mr. T. Wall
(clerk to the Stourbridge Board of Guardians) was
for the respondents. The appellants are occupiers
of a warehouse and offices in the Birmingham road,
the gross estimated rental of which was put at .2100,
and the rateable-value at £BO, and of other premises
in Mill Lane, consisting of works, shopping, and
stabling, of which the gross estimated rental was
£B5 and the rateable value .£65, making a total of
£lBO gross estimated rental, and £145 rateable
value. It was mentioned that some reduction had
been made in these figures. On behalf of the appli-
cants, Mr. Shepherd urged that Messrs Bloomer's
premises were only adapted to the making of hand-
wrought nails, there being no machinery on the
premises. The hand-wrought nail trade, if he
Tight use the expression, was a dying trade, as dis-
tinguished from a trade which had a promising
future before it. The principle on which the ques-
tion would depend for solution was what was a fair
rental which a tenant from year to year would give
for these premises, supposing Messrs. Bloomer, in-
stead of occupying them, were about to let them.
Mr. Clifford Edward Bloomer, on being called,
stated that he should be glad to get £lOO a year for
the whole premises. Mr. William Rose, the next
witness, considered that £9O would be a fair rental
for the premises. Messrs. Bloomer had made
mistake in going to such expense in erecting the
premises, In cross-examination, witness admitted
that Messrs. Bloomer's warehouse was capable of
accommodating a larger trade than they were
doing. Other witnesses having been called for the
appellants, Mr. Wall addressed the Bench on be-
half of the respondents, and afterwards called
witnesses to speak to the value of the property in
question. Eventually the Bench reduced the rental
of the warehouse to £7O per year, and that of the
shops to £3O a year. making a gross estimated
rental of £lOO yearly for the two properties. 31r.
Shepherd applied for costa, which were allowed.
