A MEAN LORD.—Lord Blan y-e is the owner of about
as fine an c state, whether for situation, appe trance, or
fertility, re one could de si eto set eyes nro and noun
thin hindenue property there is erected a mars 02 house,
which, for extent and magrificence, would pie se even
royalty it.r lf. This mag• ifierint house cost £60,000, and
inset down in the valuation roll by the assessor at an
animal rent of :£3OO, o• at the rate of one-half per cent
upon the e, et. Ti; rue surely a very moderate va7uition,
too moderate, indeed, to be just to the other owners of
property throughout the county, who have to pay upon a
proportion of from fi-e to ten Fey cent upon the cost of
their properties. But Lord Want, re had gut his inch. and
he bethought him to take the ell. Accordiogly, he iviges
an appeal ag,i"st the valuation, and we are surpri
that the cromtni sioners, while heating the merits fit
clii::ussm, kept thiir graaity so well as they appear to have
done. The appeal was very properly dismissed. We have
no doubt the comini sioners felt that £3OO per annum was
little enough, but to reduce it was preposterous. None
bit a lo ••el woe d have been so kindly dealt with, we
*aspect, and, we will ventu-e to say. none but a lard
would have had the canscie,:ce to appeal against it.—Ren.
