. ,46 MINUTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN BEFORE THE Mr. D. Meagher. 330.. You do not know whether it is on lease P- No. You do not know who the landlord is r- Wo. •? 302. c6 i ci. ruarv ,838. 3303.' Mr. Beamish.] Did you visit the house of Cornelius Denehy of Bishop- street, who is spoken to in answer 1812 ?- By our books he does not appear to have voted since 1832, and I did not visit him 0004 Did you visit the house of Patrick Dinneen, of Barrack- street, who is spoken to by Mr. Young; in answer 182/ r— He pays a rent of 10 I per annum, and I have him down " as good value; he was also visited by Mr. Barry 111 1835- 330 > Did you examine his premises /— l ( lid. . 3306 Chairman.] Did you go up stairs ?- 1 fancy I must have gone in, because I marked " good value;" and I never did that without I examined the house all through; I am certain I did go up. 3307. Mr. Young says the upper part is out of order, and is not tenantable ; do you mean to say that he is not correct ?— I put him down as good value for 10/. 1 , 3308. Do you recollect anything so particular about the house, as to be able to say whether that representation is correct or not ?— No ; but he was visited by others, as well as Mr. Gould and myself. 330Q. Mr. Serjeant Jackson.] You never put " good value" except when you went up stairs ?— I put " good value " where I saw the receipt, or where I ascer- tained the rent to be 10/.; to my mind it did not signify what condition the house was in if the rent paid was 10 /. 3310. Except in cases where you saw the receipt, do you mean to say that you have not put " good value " in any case where you did not go up stairs ?— Or unless I was convinced beyond a doubt that it was 10/.; for instance, the case of the woman in Allen's- lane. 3311. What were the circumstances that led you to put " good value " ?— Paying a rent of 10/. per annum was one. 3312. Do you know that he paid 10/.?— I must have ascertained it either from the man himself, or by seeing the receipt. 3313. Can you say how you did ascertain it ?— No, I cannot. 3314. Do you know the man ?— I believe I do. 3315. Can you say whether yiJh saw him or not?— Barrack- street is parti- cularly known to Mr. Gould, because he has premises there, and lived there a long time, and he can answer the question much better. 3316. Can you say whether you saw him ?— I cannot at this distance of time bring to my mind whether I saw him ; but I presume I did, because I saw almost all the people in Barrack- street; it is a place of business, and the parties are generally at home. 3317. Could you have put down that the rent was 10/. a year, without seeing the man and hearing from him that it was ?— I would, if I ascertained it from members of his family. He is a tanner, and, being a tanner in good business, I say that the house is 10/. value. I remember putting him down as Barrack- street, a tanner; and the tanning business requires so much room that, with the house, I state positively it is 10/. value. 3318. The question is, whom you saw, to derive your information from ; are you prepared to say that you saw any of the family ?— I must have seen some of the family. 33i9- Did you?— I cannot bring to my recollection; it is impossible, with that number of houses that I saw. 3320. You cannot say that you saw anybody of the family?— I cannot bring to mind that; hut as there are three other witnesses, it may be ascertained from them. J 3321. Did you see any voucher or receipt in that instance?— I cannot bring; to my mind. 3 3322. Then you cannot tell whether the information was derived from the man himself or his wife, or any of his family ?- No ; but I presume I must have some of the family, by my putting down " good value " . tree f23; i-^ T7^ Di( 1l yTl visit the house of Donohue, of Barrack- Ifind'h 1SJP° kentc'by Mr. Young, in answer 183/?- In reading over Mr YT T' imi Lane S anSWer' No' 1841> ^ valued at 8/., though more mrtfei! lnrl ^ * T n ^ ^ Hemr *** Saw his house, and will moic pai ticularly inform the Committee. 3324.
