J Did you visit the house of Charles M'Carthy, in York street, who is spoken to by Mr. Young in answer 1037 : I did 3192. Can you state the value of it ?— He pays 12 guineas a year, and it is good value for more than that. 3193. Are you aware whether he voted?— He did vote. 3194. Mr. Serjeant Jackson.] What state of repair was that house in-— In 3195. What was the date of your visit?— It is within two months. 3196. That house is in York- street?— It is. 3197. Have you a distinct recollection that the house is in good repair r— I have ; I have put it down as a house worth 20/. a year. 3198. And in very good repair?— I think it is quite sufficient to prove that it is worth 10/. I do not know as to the repair, but from the situation in York- street, which is a street of great business, and a great entrance into the city, a house of that description would bring 20 /. a year. 3199. No matter what state of repair it is in?— Even in a very bad state of repair it ought to be worth 12 I. a year. 3200. Are you to be understood to say, that you do not know what state of repair it was in ?•— It was in tenantable repair. 3201. Then Mr. Young must have been mistaken when he says that it is in very bad repair ?— I think he has mistaken the house ; his informant must have been in error. 3202. You know the house?— I do. 3203. And you know the man ?— 1 do. 3204. And you have now a distinct recollection of the state of repair in which the house was ?— I have. 3205. What state were the windows in ?— The house was in generally good repair. 3206. What state were the windows in?— All good; I am quite convinced that Mr. Young is in error in the house; from the man's station in life, and the general appearance of the house, I am convinced that he must have mistaken one house for another. 3207. You are convinced that the windows were all whole, and the staircases in good order ?—- I am sure if they were not so I would not have put down " worth 20 /. a year." 3208. Have you now a recollection, from having seen the house, that it was in good repair ?— I have seen the house, and it was in good repair ; from the circumstance of my having put it down at 20 /. a year, I am convinced it was and that he must be mistaken. You are of opinion that it is worth 20 /. a year in its present state and condition?— I. ^ . , _ . , 3210. Mr. Beamish. 1 Did you visit the house of Daniel Manly, of Shandon- street, which is spoken to by Mr. Young, in answer 1058; ?— This street and the houses in it are all considered of such value, that we did not visit it. There is not a house in that street, that, in my opinion, is not worth 10 /. a year and therefore we thought it was one of those places not likely to be brought undei the consideration of the Committee. 3211. Chairman.] Why did you visit other houses ?- From the neighbour- hoods they were in 1 and'upon several occasions on our visits ^ je found Mk Young in various neighbourhoods that we were m and we went he^ thinking that those houses would be those that he would look after.
