THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY CO.,
APPELLANTS ; THE OVERSEERS OF THE TOWNSHIP
OF WAVERTREE, RESPONDENTS.
At the Kirkdale Sessions on Saturday last, an appeal
case, which had excited considerable interest amongst
railway proprietors, was heard before the Rev. Jonathan
Brooks, the Chairman, the Rev. Miles Formby, and
Thos. Rawson, Esq. The general plea of the appellants
was that they were overrated, and that the principle of
the rate was erroneous.
Mr. Wilkins appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Hul-
ton for the respondents. The solicitors for the appellants
were Messrs. Clay and Swift; and for the respondents,
Messrs. Leigh and Eaton.
'NPre due publication of the rate having been admitted by
the appellants, and the service of the notices of appeal
admitted by the respondents, the question was agreed on
both sides to be tried on its merits.
Mr. HELTON briefly stated the case. The appeal was
against the parochial rate, laid upon that part of the
railway passing through the township of Wavertree, and
the length of which was 1 mile, 4 furlongs, and 198 yards
—the whole length of the line from Liverpool and Man-
chester being 31 miles. It was at first considered the
more convenient mode to take it at so much a mile, and
the calculation c ..„., t ) a mileage on the whole line ; but
Mr. Just;, Denman had in the case of the London and
South Western Railway (to Southampton) decided other-
wise, and ruled that it should be on tolls or income in
each parish, and that the rate on each should be apportioned
to the amount of traffic on that part of the line within
it ; and also that if a trade was increased by buildings, they
were to be rated also, the property being rateable on a trade
not only carried on thereon,but thereby. His clients, there-
fore took into consideration the whole earnings along the
line as the basis. They took the company's reports,admitted
to be correct, and found that in 1842, they received in all
£237,822—a year not the most favourable, owing to the
depression of trade, and the disturbances in the manufac-
turing districts. They allowed for expenses and deprecia-
tion, and after all deductions, the rateable sum was found
to be between £2,000 and £3,000 a mile. This applied
to the whole length of the line, but he should show that
the Wavertree part was the most valuable of the whole—
much more valuable than any part eastward of the Grand
Junction and other lines branching from it. Wavertree
had earned more than any part eastward of Chat Moss,
for there was not only a line coming into it from Birming-
ham, but also the Preston line. The calculations had been
made by Mr. Wightman, a competent person. The com-
pany had laat year, notwithstanding its being admitted to
be unfavourable, divided 10 per cent. on their capital, and
they bad paid the rates with which they had been charged
(though not, he admitted, without some grumbling) since
the year 1836. He then called
John Wightman, surveyor to the parish of Liverpool,
who stated that he surveyed all the rateable property of
the town. He had made an estimate of the rateable value
of the railway. He found the gross receipts of 1842 to be
£237,822, under the three heads of coaching, merchandise,
and coals. The total expense for that year was £113,205.
The Grand Junction Company paid them a rental of X 17,727,
and he was himself a shareholder in that line. The total
net proceeds for theline f0r1842 without including the rental
from the Grand Junction was £124,617. He had allowed
for depreciation of moveable stock (engines, carriages,
&c)., £3,380, snpposing the whole to be worth £67,600,
and taking five per cent. He had also allowed a sum of
£1,046 for depreciation of rails, calculating 235 tons of
rails to a mile, which, at £8 a ton, would cost £l,BBO,
and, as a matter of opinion, he thought they would last
twenty years, and when replaced by others at that time
would be worth one half—supposing the metal to be then
of its present value. He also allowed for a sinking fund.
He had in this item calculated 33 miles of rails—inclu-
ding the tunnels—though there were but 31 miles of di-
rect railway. That made £1,046, or £3l 14s. a mile.
He allowed £21,000 for rent of buildings, &c. He had
calculated the cost to be £420,000, five per cent. on which
made the £21,000. This value was derived from the rail-
way. He considered that a fair value for the tenants,
and could not well call it more. The warehouses, &c.,
were only valuable as connected with the railway, and
were not worth more. He had allowed tenants' profits at
£21,376, or 20 per cent. upon the nett profits of the com-
pany and themselves—namely, £106,890. The gross de-
duction on the whole property he took to be £46,802.
£77,815 divided by 31 made £2,500 per mile, and the
rateable charge made to the company was only £2,200 per

ABERCROMBY WARD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

GAL;SWORTHY and NICHOLS,
9, Cook's-court, Lincoln's Inn, London, for
SHELMERDINE, Liverpool

------•
SIR,—In one of the placards of our radical friends,
before the late triumphant municipal election, they made
the inquiry, " Wito IS CHARLES BLOWER?" the now
happily successful candidate for Abercromby Ward ; and
as Mr. Boutflower has now become a member of our town
council, and it is therefore desirable that he should be
better known amongst us, I feel disposed to gratify their
curiosity.

MISCELLANEOUS

Mr. Charles Boutflower, then, sir, is a gentleman, by
birth and education ; who, by his talents and assiduity,
acquired a handsome competence, after a long and labo-
rious practice as a member of the medical profession, at
Colchester; on quitting which place, he was presented
with a massive piece of plate, as a token of the grateful
esteem and regard of the principal residents in that town,
who had for so many years enjoyed the benefit of his
professional advice and social intercourse. A few years
ago Mr. Boutflower was induced, by the many valuable
religious privileges with which Liverpool is so preemi-
nently blessed, to select it as the place of abode for his
declining years—not to spend them in listless indolence
or selfish indulgence (which is so commonly considered
by the world as " otium cum dignitate"), but in the en-
joyment of that truest of all luxuries, " the luxury of
doing good," amongst the inhabitants ; and his name will,
accordingly, be found on the subscription lists and com-
mittees of most of the religious and charitable institutions
with which this great town abounds ; and to promote the
objects of which, his time and attention have been inde-
fatigably devoted. Such, sir, is Mr. Charles Boutflower !
and let the radicals find " THE DITTO " of him, amongst
their party, if they can.

But, sir„ Mr. Charles Boutflower is something more
than this. He is a true Christian man, and a sound con-
servative Protestant churchman. This the radicals did
not require to be told : for they already knew it full well,
from the straightforward, manly declaration which was
contained in his published address • and from whence
alone arose the opposition which was raised up
against his election, at the eleventh hour ! But they had
" no party views," they say, in setting up Mr. Daniel
Neilson as his opponent. No party views, sir ! Who
will ever believe that the radicals would propose a con-
servative candidate, as their representative in the coun-
cil, without " party views" ? Why, sir, they knew well
enough that it would be perfectly useless to set up one of
their own radicals, as a candidate for Abercromby Ward ;
and so they proposed a conservative, in the hope of divi-
ding our party, as they could not strengthen their own.
This is the true trickery of the party all over !
With regard to Mr. Daniel Neilson, I have no wish to
say one word against him. Believing him to be a gentle-
man, and giving full credit to his published declaration,
that he " neither was a radical nor intended to be one,"
I can only suppose that the statement contained in the
radical placards, that he had " consented to sit" as their
representative in the council, " if he had been elected,"
was only "an ingenious device of the enemy." Had Mr.
Daniel Neilson, or any other influential conservative,
been earlier proposed, I have reason to know that Mr.
Boutflower would never have consented to his name
being used ; as it was only in consequence of the earnest
recommendation of others, and from a sense of public
duty, and not from any wish of his own, that he became
a candidate.

I am, sir, yours faithfully,
A BURGESS OF ABERCROMBY WARD

TO THE CONSERVATIVE BURGESSES OF
LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN :—About twelve months since, I told you,
through the medium of this paper, " that with proper ex-
ertion, the sixteen wards might be ours at the next muni-
cipal election." Gentlemen, that such was not the result
of the late contest I am compelled to own, has grievously
disappointed, but not surprised me, for as proper exertion
was not made at the proper time, it was wholly impossi-
ble to obtain a complete, an overwhelming victory.
But still, gentlemen, we ought to have won a ward or
two more ; Scotland, in which the contest was gallantly
fought, (albeit, we derived no aid from influence that
ought to have been exerted in our favour,) was lost by the
merest accident; a duplicate voter thoughtlessly gave his
vote where it could not be of the least possible service.
That unfortunate error lost us the ward. This I severely
lament, for I had fully calculated upon Scotland being our
own.

In Vauxhall ward, a gentleman not at all ambitious of
the honour, was brought forward at the eleventh hour, and
as might naturally be anticipated, we were defeated : far
different would have been the result if the late representa-
tive bad only three weeks since consented to stand again:
we would have returned him, triumphantly. All the local
influence of an individual who appears to have assumed
the office of perpetual dictator of Vauxhall ward would
then have been " tried in the balance and found wanting."
As to Castle-street, several gentlemen to whose opinions
I am bound to pay the utmost deference, thought it would
not be prudent to contest that ward, although the register
never stood so much in our favour as it does at present;
and if a first-class candidate had been before the constitu-
ency at an early period, Castle•street ward, I hesitate not
to say, would now be rejoicing in one Conservative coun-
cillor.

The fourth ward, St. Anne's, was most foolishly lost by
dissension► among ourselves ; we forgot that " a house
divided against itself cannot stand." Our party differ-
ences were, it is true, made up, but it was too late; the
enemy, during our inactive state, had stormed the out-
works, and no after efforts could dislodge him. This un•
fortunate occurrence will, I hope, for the future impress
upon the minds of the Conservative burgesses of St.
Anne's ward, that, " Union is strength,' an. that " United
we stand, divided we fall." Next November, gentlemen,
thirteen conservatives retire, and we must be up and do-
ing ; he who has never worked must then work, and he
who has always worked, must then work double tides, for
it will be a fearful, a desperate struggle, 'more desperate,
perhaps, than any in which we have been hitherto engaged.
With the enemy it will be a case of life or death, and no
means, however corrupt and vile, will be unresorted to by
the radical faction, in order to obtain a majority of the
wards. But if conservatives will only exert themselves,
there is, there can be, nothing to fear ; bring sixteen can-
didates early into the field, and depend upon it, (and you
are now told so by one whose words have more than once
been prophetic,) you will win the sixteen wards, in des-
pite of anti-monopoly associations. of humbugging free-
trade placards, and of that greatest humbug of all, the
Anti-corn-law League.
Gentlemen, look at Stockport, the head-quarters (if I
may be allowed to coin a word,) of Cobdenism ; there,
even under the very nose of the itinerant M.P. seven con-
servative councillors have been returned against three
radicals! Glory to Stockport!
I conclude this hasty letter with an appropriate quota-
tion (somewhat altered certainly,) from the most loyal and
patriotic poet that this or any other country ever gloried
in producing :
" This borough never did, nor ever shall
Become the prey of Radical or Whig,
Unless she first cloth help to wound herself.
Let them come on—Repealers, Chartists, Whigs,

•" We confirm the rate.'

And we will mock them, nought shall make us rue,
If Tories to themselves do prove but true."
I am, Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,
A BURGESS OF EVERTON WARD.
Roscommon-street, 6th Nov. 1843.
