Poor laws -- Ireland -- History
_Sections 3, 4._—If a rate be not paid by the lessor in four months, it
may be recovered from the occupier, who in such case may deduct the
amount from the rent due to the lessor, or recover it from him. If a
house be let in lodgings, the lessor is to be rated for the whole
house, and if the rate be not paid within thirty-one days, it may be
recovered from the occupiers, who will be entitled to deduct it from
the rent due by them; but the Municipal Corporations Act is not to
be affected by any of these provisions.
_Sections 5, 6._—When the property rated is above 5_l._, the lessors may
in like manner be rated instead of the occupiers, if both enter into
a written agreement for the purpose, and if the guardians consent
thereto. All goods and chattels to whomsoever belonging, found on
premises for which the occupier is liable to pay rate, may be
distrained for the same.
_Sections 7, 8._—To remove certain doubts with regard to valuators and
valuations, the commissioners are empowered to appoint valuators, or
they may direct the guardians to do so; and the person so in either
case appointed, may enter premises for the purpose of making or
revising any survey or valuation; and rates are to be assessed on
the valuations so made or revised, and sealed by the commissioners;
and are not to be altered unless appealed against, when on receiving
a copy of the order of court amending such rate, the commissioners
are to authorize its alteration in conformity therewith. The appeal
in all cases is to be made to the sessions of the peace of the
county, or county of a city or town within which the hereditaments
are situate.
_Sections 9, 10, 11._—Any person affected by a rate, may on all days
except Sunday, between ten o’clock and four, inspect the valuation
on which the rate is made, and take copies thereof. The form of rate
prescribed by the Amendment Act is repealed, and the commissioners
are empowered to prescribe the form in which the rates are to be
made. The clerk to certify that the rate when made conforms to the
valuation, and the chairman and two or more of the guardians present
are to certify that they allow the same. In Dublin the poor-rate is
to be collected in the same manner and with the like remedies as the
grand jury cess.
