Mr. Serjeant Jackson, to Mr. Lane.] Was this gentleman ever valued for 25CK ^( I'o Mr°. Young.) Did you visit and value the house of Daniel Leland, of Brocidesby- street?— I did ; I was in it, and up stairs throughout. 2506. Mr. Beamish.] You satisfied your mind as to the upper story as well as the lower?— I did; and the conclusion I came to was, that it was as bad an inha- bited house as ever I was in ; in point of repair, the stairs were as if they could not bear the weight of any one upon them ; the lower part was let for 1 s. a week ; two rooms up stairs, one let for 11 d. a week, and the other at 7 d. a week, and the back room was occupied by the owner; the utmost value, I think, is 5/. per annum. 2507.
