ASSESSMENT

APPEALS

,-RATING OF THE

TOBACCO WAREHOUSE. -
Mes,rs. STEWART and CASTELLAIN.I

[Before

Mr. Wylie, assessor for the parish of Liverpool,
attended at the Sessions'-house, Chapel-street, yesterday,
to sustain the assessment in a number of cases where

the rating has been appealed against.
Mr. David Atwool appealed. against the assessment
rating him for the Tobacco Warehouse,- King's Dock,
at the sum of £5,400. Mr. J. B. Aspinall, instructed
by Mr. Tyndall, appeared for the applicant.
Mr. Wylie said the Tobacco Warehouse was held by
the Crown, at the rent of £6,750, payable to the
Corporation. At the ordinary rate of assessment the
premises would be liable to a rating of £5,400. Mr.
Atwool was the tenant, at the rent of £4,000 under the
Crown. The question was at what rate he ought to be
assessed. The assessment against the Crown had never
been made. When Mr. Atwool took the 'premises, the
question was, how he was to be rated. He said he paid
£4,000, and according to the ordinary rule he was
rated at £3,600. When that assessment became known
at the Parish-office, it was said that the tenant should
be rated at the rent paid by the Crown to the Corpora-
tion ; but when that was done, Mr. Atwool objected to
pay more than the rating upon £4,000.
Mr. Aspinall said Mr. Atwool was the tenant of the
crown, under which he held the premises at the yearly
rent of £4,000 ; and he was at a loss to know why he
should be assessed for more than he had paid the first
year of his occupation of the tobacco warehouse. It
appeared that the crown, some time ago, leased the ware-
house from the corporation, at the annual rent of £6,750,
but it was found to be a bad bargain. The crown asked
the corporation to take baOk the lease, but they refused.
On the corporation refusing to take back the lease, the
crown, in order to make the best of a bad bargain, adver-
tised the premises to let, and -ffers were made.
