This appeal came into Court for hearing on the 26th
February, 1906, the appellant being represented by Mr.
Ryde, of Counsel, and the Committee by Mr. Bodkin,
of Counsel. Before the case was opened, the Chairman,
Mr. Loveland-Loveland, K.C., suggested that an
endeavour should be made to settle the appeal, and the
parties thereupon consulted together, and ultimately
agreed upon terms, whereby the assessment was reduced
from Gross Value £600, and Rateable Value £500 to
Gross Value £495 and Rateable Value £413, each
party paying their own costs, and this arrangement was
confirmed by the Court.
(d) From the London County Council in respect of the
Council Schools at Addison Gardens, Cobbold Road,
Saunders Road and Kenmont Gardens:
These appeals were lodged by the London County
Council with a view to the adoption throughout
London of certain general principles for the assessing
of the Council Schools; but after the Court of Quarter
Sessions had given decisions adverse to the contentions
of the London County Council in the appeals against
the assessments of certain Council Schools in other
boroughs, which had been selected as test cases, the
appeals were, by consent, withdrawn, each party agreeing
to pay their own costs.
(e) From the Imperial Tobacco Company, in respect of
Factory, 81 Fulham Palace Road:
This appeal has not yet been heard.
