The next is Denis Denahy • shop 111 the Royal Arcade; registered at the same time : he stands in the valua- tion at 5 /. 924. Was there an appeal in that case ?— There was. 925. Mr. Serjeant Jackson.] Have you a recollection before the grand jury ?— I have. 926. Did they examine that gentleman ?— They did. 927. Did they ask him what rents he got from the occupiers of those shops?— I will not say exactly that they asked him that, but I know there was a great deal of discussion upon the subject. 92S. Mr. Beamish.] Did not it appear that the owner of the property got very large rents ?— He got rents, but I think he stated that he paid the rates upoil them. 929. He was therefore anxious to lower the valuation of the whole of them ?— Yes; both of those houses were valued at 7 /. and reduced to 5 I. 930. Mr. Serjeant Jackson.] You say there was a good deal of examination respecting them ?— There was a good deal at that time. 931. Was Mr. Dean the appellant?— He was. 932. Who is the next ?— Patrick Dayly, bookseller, Paul's- street; a shop at Paul's- street; registered the 20th of September 1835: the house is valued at 16 I. in 1828, and he has half of it; there are two men living in it. 933. And he registers out of the shop alone ?— Yes. 934. Mr. Beamish.] What do you think is the proportion between the shop and the whole house, in point of value ?— I should say the shop is the least value. 935. Mr. Serjeant Jackson.] Do you know the house well ?— I do not, I only guess; but I think, that if he has any more than the shop, he has decidedly the best part of the house. The upper part of it must be a poor tenement. 936. Have you ever been in the house?— No. 937. Have you ever made any observation upon that house?— No; but all the houses in that street are pretty much in the same way, occupied by very poor people. 938.
