That you say without having examined the roof, or examined mrti ions, or examined the back of the house r- I think I can form an "/ from the appearance of the house; I was surprised to see so good a house ino narrow a lane. If I mistake not, it was three stories. 3283. And in good repair?— Indeed it was. 3284. Do you know whether it was let by the late Rev. Giles Lee or bv young Richard Lee ?— I do not; I believe Mr. Lee was only a kind of ao- ent for the proprietor of the house. 328.5. Who was the landlord— I do not know ; it was Mr. Lee that ° ave the receipt. 3286. What makes you suppose the Rev. Mr. Lee was only a receiver for another person ?— I know that he has receipts in that wav; and if I mis- take not, I think the woman said that it was he to whom she paid the rent • and I think she mentioned some other name as landlord. 3287. Do you know whether this man holds under a lease?— No, I do not; I was quite satisfied with the receipt. 3288. Mr. Beamish.] Did you visit the house of John Nagle, in Skiddey's Castle- lane, who is spoken to by Mr. Young, in answer 1738?- This man does not appear from our books to have voted since 1832, and I did not visit him. 3289. Did you visit the house of Michael Sheeha, of Francis- street, who is spoken to by Mr. Young, in answer 1/ 43 ?— That man is in the Conservative interest; I did not visit him. 3290. You cannot say whether he voted or not?— No. 3291. Did you visit the house of Michael Murphy, of Gill Abbey- street, who is mentioned in answer 1764?— This part of the city being considered the liberties, 1 did not visit him ; others are here to speak to his value. 3292. Did you visit the house of Simon Maliony, of Evergreen- street, who is spoken to by Mr. Young in answer 1780 ?— This man's value can be spoken to also by others ; and I considered him in the liberties. 3293. Did you visit the house of Redmond Mahony, of Long's- lane, who is spoken to by Mr. Young in answer 1787 ?— That man voted in 1835 for the Conservatives ; I did not visit him ; I do not think he voted since. 3294. Did you visit the house of Patrick Duggan, of Old Market- place, who is spoken to by Mr. Young in answer 1803 ?— I did ; he pays a rent of 5 /. per annum ; he paid for the interest, 7 1-, and from the peculiar situation, he would not take 12 /. a year for it. 3295. Mr. Serjeant Jackson.] Do you yourself put a value of 10 I. a year upon it ?— From the circumstances of knowing it to be in a market- place, where there is a great thoroughfare, and full business for an eating- house, I think it is worth it. .... 3296. From your observation of the nature of the tenement, and the situation of it/ do you tell the Committee that it is value for 10 /. a year?— The situation more than the thing itself. . on7 Considering the thing as it is, and the position of it, are you prepared ell the Committee that it is value for 10/. a year ?— I am not, because the note I have put is this : " This man would not take 12 /. for Ins house ; but if 1 had ascertained the value myself, I would have written " good value 3298. Are not there a great many who put a sort of fanciful value upon things that they have a liking to; places where they were bornP- There are; and there are others, whose houses are of a value that one wouldbesupnsed at, but from the business they have in those localities there, which a man living in another locality can form no idea of, and on that account I did not o to tell take upon me to reject it, and I put down this note o. J) From your judgment passed upon it, would you say that it was woitn more tlian 6 /. a yeav ?- I could not say, indeed, not having made a particular notice of the value. _ . . i h - f1 71 to the 3300. Chairman.] The rent is 5 /. a year — It is; and he paid 7 party that lived there before for the goodwill. r T A O. 46. 1 ^ ¥ DnHBh H • H 3301. You
