VI.—(1) Any rate to which tithe rentcharge is subject shall be assessed
on and may be recovered from the owner of the tithe rentcharge, in
the like manner and by the like process as on and from any occupying
ratepayer; and so much of any Act as authorises any rate on tithe
rentcharge to be assessed on or recovered from the occupier of any lands
out of which the tithe rentcharge issues is hereby repealed.
(2) If the collector of the rate satisfies the County Court that he is
unable to recover in manner aforesaid any rate assessed on the owner of
any tithe rentcharge, the Court may, after such service on the owners of
the tithe rentcharge, and of the lands out of which the tithe rentcharge
issues, as may be prescribed, and after hearing such owners, if they
appear and desire to be heard, order the owner of the lands to pay such
tithe rentcharge to the collector until the amount of the rate, and any
costs allowed by the Court, are fully paid; and the order may be executed
as if it were an order under this Act for the payment of a sum due on
account of the tithe rentcharge.
(3) The Court may, if satisfied that the circumstances justify it, make
such order as aforesaid in respect of any future rate, either generally
or during the time limited by the order.
(4) The expression “rate” in this section means a poor rate, highway
rate, general district rate, borough rate, and every other rate assessed
on an owner of tithe rentcharge by a public authority for public
purposes; and the expression “collector” means the overseer, surveyor of
highways, rate-collector, or other person authorised, for the time being,
to collect the rate.
_Power of appeal._
VII. If any party in any action or matter under this Act shall be
dissatisfied with the determination or direction of the judge of
the County Court in point of law or equity, or upon the admission
or rejection of any evidence, the party aggrieved by the judgment,
direction, decision, or order of the judge may appeal from the same to
the High Court, in such manner and subject to such conditions as may be
for the time being provided by the rules of the Supreme Court regulating
the procedure on appeals from inferior courts to the High Court.
