THE GAS LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY versus SHOREDITCH ASSESSMENT
COMMITTEE and 127 other Parishes.
This very important appeal against the Quinquennial Valuation List of 1890,
which occupied twenty-two days in being heard at the County of London Quarter
Sessions, has now been finally settled, except that the costs have not yet been
taxed. Messrs. Mills, Lookyer & Mills acted as Solicitors for the Committee, and
Mr. John Montefiore as Junior Counsel, whilst the services of the Solicitor-General,
Sir Edward Clarke, Q.C., M.P., as leading Counsel, were shared by the Committee
with four other Parishes.
The Gas Light and Coke Company appealed against the Assessment of their
Mains in the Parish, and not against that of their Works, which are separately
assessed and which now appear to have been considerably undervalued, but under
the Valuation (Metropolis) Act they must remain at the Valuation of 1890 until
the Quinquennial Valuation 1895.
