As to the claim in respect of the rateable amount it arose
as follows:—
£6,1oo (a) The alleged rateable value of the buildings
in respect of which the claim of £7,340

owing to clerical errors in carrying
the figures out, Ac.
£16,189 (d) Alleged under-assessment of 16,189 other
hereditaments.

correction of what was merely a clerical mistake.
(d) As to the £16,189 the same is made up of an even pound
