LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 30.
(Sittings in Banco.)

THE QUEEN V. THE INHABITANTS OF NILE-END OLD

TOWN.

This was a question of rating, in which the hamlet of
Mile-end Old Town was party on the one hand, and the
Company of certain water-works, by which the parish
and adjacent parishes were supplied with water, was
party on the other. It was a case sent up from the
Court of Sessions for the opinion of this Court, and the
object was to ascertain in what proportion the appellant
parish was to be rated. There were various orders con-
tended for on the one side and the other. Mr. Hill, Q.C.,
contending, on behalf of the Water Company, that their
plan of rating was the correct one; and the Solicitor-
General, for the hamlet, maintaining that their mode was
right, and that on which the rating should proceed.
There were two modes by which the rating might be re-
gulated submitted to the sessions, by both sides; and the
case brought before the Court from the Court below
submitted, that if either of the modes contended for by
the hamlet should turn out correct, then the assess-
ment to be raised to its original amount; and if either
of the modes contended for by the Company should
prove correct, then the order of Sessions to be confirmed.
The cave involved the questions of the value of the whole
apparatus, and what a tenant would give for the whole
measurement by mileage, the investment of the capital,
with the return thereon, &c. &c.
The COURT considered that the sessions did not send
sufficient materials for it on which to give an opinion;
and it was ultimately agreed, on the suggestion of the
Solicitor-General, to submit the matter to Mr. Smirke,
the barrister, to draw up a case upon it for the consi-
deration of the Court, that gentleman having consider.
able experience in such questions—a course deemed pre-
ferable to sending the case back again to the sessions.
