CHIEF LAND COMMISSION.

SITTINGS IN BELFAST.

IMPORTANT JUDGMENTS.

Mr. Justice Meredith, with Messrs. P. Callan and G. Fitzgerald, sat in the Record Court of the County Courthouse, Crumlin Road, yesterday, and heard appeals from the Antrim, Larne, and Belfast districts. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, with Messrs. M. Lynch and C. Thompson as assessors, occupied the Crown Court, and resumed the hearing of the list from Ballycastle, Ballymoney, and Ballymena districts.

MR. JUSTICE MEREDITH'S COURT.

At the sitting of the Court the following judgments were delivered:--

James Graham, tenant; Robert Hassard, landlord -- Former rent, £8; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £4 5s; appeal, £5.

F. M'Caughan, tenant; J. B. Dunlop, landlord -- Former rent, £58; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £46 2s; appeal, £50 18s.

J. S. Irwin, tenant; R. M'Neill, landlord -- Former rent, £43; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £38 12s 6d; confirmed.

Neil M'Caghan, tenant; Colonel J. Smyth, landlord -- Former rent, £23; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £15 10s; appeal, £16 12s 6d.

J. Graham, tenant; J. G. Leslie, landlord -- Former rent, £35; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £25 2s 6d; confirmed.

Wm. P. Connolly, tenant; J. G. Leslie, landlord -- Former rent, £16 10s; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £14 5s; confirmed.

Hugh M'Conaghy, tenant; Samuel Allen, landlord -- Former rent, £2 16s; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £2 11s. His Lordship said at the hearing of this case a special query had been put to the assessor in reference to the cutting of turf on the holding, and he had received the report of the assessor, who stated that in his opinion no permanent injury was caused by the cutting, as the surface of the ground on the part cut was removed to make a surface on the "cut over," and the latter was not cut too low for alter reclamation. Besides, the surface of the high bog was partly covered with stumps and roots of trees that were removed by cutting, leaving the cut-over bog more easy to cultivate. The Former rent, of the holding was £2 16s, and the rent fixed by the Sub-Commissioners £2 11s. He fixed the rent at £3 2s, the value of the turbary on the holding for consumption on the premises by the tenant being estimated and included in that sum.

Wm. Carson, tenant; C. G. Macartney, landlord -- Former rent, £10; rent fixed by Sub Commission, £7 12s 6d; appeal, £6 15s.

Daniel M'Erlane, tenant; General H. C. Magennis, landlord -- Former rent, £16 15s; rent fixed by Commissioners, £15 10s; confirmed.

Wm. Warke, tenant; same landlord--Former rent, £23; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £19 7s; confirmed.

Wm. White. tenant; same landlord -- Former rent, £31 26 10d; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £23; confirmed.

John Falconer, tenant; same landlord -- Former rent, £40; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £36; appeal, £35.

Hugh Hamill, tenant; same landlord -- Former rent, £11; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £8 10s; confirmed.

Hugh Taylor, tenant; same landlord -- Former rent, £17 10s; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £16 16s; confirmed.

Daniel Quinn, tenant; John S. Hutchison, landlord -- Former rent, £9; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £6.

His Lordship said in this case the question raised by the landlord was that the holding had seriously deteriorated and gone out of condition. It appeared to him, upon the evidence and upon the report of the assessor, that the landlord had very serious cause for complaint, not, indeed, against the present tenant, who was, so far as he could judge, endeavouring to remedy the injury done to the holding by his predecessors; but against the former tenants of the holding. The case was one in which, if it were not for the action of the present tenant, he would feel himself compelled to dismiss the originating notice. He thought the justice of the case could be met by adjourning this application--the hearing -- for one year, with a view of enabling the present tenant, Daniel Quinn, to continue the work he had commenced and bring the holding into a proper condition. He, therefore, adjourned the hearing for one year.

John Gamble, tenant; William J. Moore and another, landlords -- Former rent, £56; rent, fixed by Sub-Commission, £40; appeal, £45.

Wilson Fleming, tenant; Captain Thornton, landlord -- Former rent, £41; rent fixed by Sub-Commission, £34; appeal, £36 15s.

ARCHBOLD, TENANT; BELL, LANDLADY.

In this case Mary Jane Archbold was tenant and Agnes Bell landlady, and the latter was the appellant. The holding was 77a. 3r., in the district of Antrim, and the old rent was £145, whilst the judicial rent was £91 3s.

Mr. Edward Greer (instructed by Mr. R. J. Porter) appeared for the tenant, and Mr. Wellington Young for the landlady.

It appeared the farm was situated near Mossley Railway Station, and had been in the occupation of the appellant's husband up to the year 1873, when he became so delicate in health that he could not work it, and it was decided to let it. It was let by lease to the present tenant's husband at a rent of £200 a year, and to secure the rent a sum of £200 was deposited with the lessor, on which he was to allow five per cent. interest until the termination of the tenancy, the lease being for ninety-nine years. After the passing of the Land Act of 1881, when the tenant went into court, the rent was reduced to £145. When the first term expired a second term application was made, and the rent further reduced to £90. The landlady stated this was her principal means of livelihood since her husband had died. She had to pay £25 out of the £90 as an annuity and £30 of rent. Mr. Young argued that there was no change to justify the reduction of the rent. After legal argument by Mr. Greer and Mr. Young as to the terms of the covenant in the lease, His Lordship reserved judgment.

MR. JUSTICE FITZGERALD'S COURT.

The cases heard in this court dealt principally with questions of value, and contained no feature of public interest.

The Courts adjourned until eleven o'clock this morning.

THE REVALUATION OF BELFAST.

HEARING OF APPEALS.

VALUE OF PUBLIC HOUSES.

His Honour Judge Fitzgibbon sat yesterday in the Grand Jury Room, County Courthouse, Crumlin Road, and heard appeals against the revaluation.

Sir John Barton, Commissioner of Valuation, and Mr. H. M'Neile M'Cormick, Clerk of the Crown and Peace, were in attendance.

THE ARCADE.

Messrs. P. & F. M'Glade appealed from the valuation put on their licensed premises, The Arcade, 96, Donegal Street. The old valuation was £70; new valuation, £190; revised, £170; of which £120 was on the structure, and £50 on the license.

Mr. J. I. Donaghy appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Fitzgerald, K.C. (instructed by Messrs. Wheeler & M'Cutcheon), represented the Commissioner of Valuation.

Mr. Francis M'Glade, examined, said the premises were formerly held under lease at £60 yearly. That lease expired on 1st January last. A fee-farm grant had since been obtained of those and other premises, comprising 96, 98, and 100, Donegall Street, at a yearly rent of £275. The Arcade had a frontage of 20ft., and a depth of 124ft. The rent of £275 was fixed by Mr. T. H. Torrens, agent for the Earl of Shaftesbury, and at that time there was a "boom" in licensing business. He considered Donegall Street was a rapidly declining locality.

Cross-examined by Mr. Fitzgerald -- He purchased the premises fifteen years ago at £800, and after he came into possession he expended £320 on them in putting in new front and reconstructing the inside. Under the fee-farm grant he had covenanted to expend £2,500 on the entire block.

Mr. T. E. M'Connell, appellant's valuator, said the frontage of the entire block was 60ft. The Arcade had 20ft. frontage. He considered £90 would be a fair valuation, taking into consideration the good-will and fittings.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- He would not put any value on the building itself at a rent of £90 year. It was worth nothing. If there was no building on the ground, £70 would be a fair rent.

Mr. James M'Entee, who had 28 years' experience of the licensing business, said that within the past five years it was almost impossible to sell public-house. For the purpose of widening the thoroughfare, the Corporation purchased Mr. Flood's licensed premises at the corner of Union Street, and their valuator placed the value at £275.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- Mr. Flood refused to accept £275, and the Corporation settled with him for £550.

Mr. Talbot said his total for the building at 4 per cent. was £120, and the license £50. He estimated the cost of the building at £1,340, and valued the license at £1,250.

In reply to Mr. Donaghy, who cross-examined him at considerable length, witness said there were 64,000 cubic feet in the building, and he took that at 5d per cubic foot.

His Honour said the Arcade was a house with large bar in it, and it was situated in a leading thoroughfare. Having regard to all the circumstances, he considered £120 was a proper amount for the structure and £50 for the license.

Mr. Fitzgerald said having regard to the length of time the case had occupied, over two and half hours, owing to the unjustifiably protracted cross-examination by Mr. Donaghy, he asked for costs on behalf of the Valuation Office.

His Honour said Mr. Donaghy must try and shorten the subsequent cases. They would never get through the business if he acted in the way he had done in the last case. He would say nothing about costs at present.

THE TURRET.

Messrs. M'Glade also appealed from the valuation put upon their licensed premises, The Turret, 16, Peter's Hill. The old valuation was £65; new valuation, £104; revised valuation, £85.

Mr. F. M'Glade described the dimensions of the premises, and said it was not a good letting locality for shops since North Street was widened. He himself had to take half the rent for a shop next to the present premises after the house had been vacant for two years.

Mr. T. E. M'Connell valued the premises at £45 per annum, the landlord doing the repairs and paying the insurance.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- He put nothing at all upon the license, as he considered it of no value.

Mr. James Carroll, examined for the appellants, put the value of the structure at £61, and the license at £24.

His Honour held that the value of the premises was £61, and the license £24.

THE QUEEN'S CAFE.

The same appellants appealed against the valuation in respect of the Queen's Cafe, Queen's Arcade.

Mr. Patk. M'Glade, examined by Mr. Donaghy, said the premises were held under a lease for 21 years, dated 20th July, 1899. The lessee was Sir Otto Jaffé, J.P., Lord Mayor. The rent for the first ten years was £225 yearly, and for the second ten years £250. At the time of the lease licensed premises were selling high as compared with now. The valuation in 1899 was £115, which was increased in 1900 to £225. This was appealed against, but the appeal was not proceeded with in view of the general valuation going on. The new valuation was £295, which was reduced to £240, of which £20 referred to the license and the remainder to the buildings.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- At the time they took the premises they bought the interest of the occupier, Miss Smith, at £500. She had a lease with three years to run. They also paid Sir Otto Jaffé £500, and had since expended on the premises between £500 and £600.

Mr. Thomas E. M'Connell considered that the valuation on the building was £15 excessive.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- He valued the rent at £225, which included the license.

Mr. Fitzgerald said there was only £15 differ. ence in the valuations, and by consent they would take £8 off the building, the license remaining unchanged, making a total of £232

THE BAMBRIDGE.

Messrs. M'Glade also appealed in respect of the valuation put on the Bambridge, Sugarhouse Entry. The old valuation was £150, new valuation £210, revised to £190, of which £150 was for the structure and £40 for the license.

Mr. F. M'Glade said the premises were held under lease for an unexpired residue of 12 years, at a yearly rent of £90. He purchased them in 1893 from Miss Rafferty, who was then the tenant, for £2,650.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- Since he came into possession he had put in a new front to the property, costing about £1,300. He did not consider the premises were in a good situation for a restaurant.

Mr. T. E. M'Connell fixed the present valuation of the premises as a going concern at £150, the landlord to insure and to keep in repair.

Mr. M. M'Cusker said the full letting value of the premises as they at present stood was not more than £100. The premises had been greatly depreciated owing to the opening up of Bridge Street and North Street.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- He considered the payment of £2,650 to Miss Rafferty a very improvident bargain. He was afraid the publicans had been "fools" in regard to purchasing houses.

Mr. Talbot estimated the structure at £2,000, which at 4 per cent. came to £80. The ground rent at £1 per foot came to £74. The license he estimated as worth £1,000, which at 4 per cent. came to £40.

His Honour considered the valuation fair.

CONSENTS.

Mr. Thos. Campbell intimated that in several cases amounts had been agreed to by consent between the Commissioner of Valuation and the appellants.

Mr. M'Cutcheon pointed out with reference to these that if the decision of the King's Bench was not confirmed the amount fixed in respect to licences would have to be taken off.

In regard to Messrs. E. & W. Pim, Ltd., the total valuation agreed to was £390, of which £365 was in respect of buildings and £25 of the license.

There were two appeals standing in the names of the Royal Avenue Hotel Company, Limited. The valuation agreed to was, in one case, £655, of this £625 being for the buildings and £30 for the license; and in the other case £200 for the buildings.

Mr. M'Cutcheon said the case of the Belfast Empire Theatre of Varieties Company had been settled. The appeal was against a valuation of £600. A sum of £560 had been fixed on the premises and £20 on the license, making a total of £580.

The Court adjourned until eleven o'clock this morning.

THE REVALUATION OF BELFAST.

HEARING OF APPEALS.

His Honour Judge Fitzgibbon sat yesterday in the Grand Jury Room, County Courthouse, Crumlin Road, and heard appeals against the revaluation of Belfast.

Sir John Barton, Commissioner of Valuation, and Mr. H. M'Neile M'Cormick, Clerk of the Crown and Peace, were in attendance.

Mr. Fitzgerald, K.C. (instructed by Meers Wheeler & M'Cutcheon), represented the Commissioner of Valuation in all the cases.

DANIEL O'DOHERTY.

Daniel O'Doherty appealed against the valuation of licensed premises at Old Lodge Road. Mr. Thomas Campbell (instructed by Mr. James Thompson) appeared for the appellant. The valuation appealed against was £45, the old valuation being £37 10s.

Mr. Campbell said the premises had been held under a fifty years' lease since 1891 at a yearly rent of £42.

Owen Rafferty deposed that he had formerly been in possession of the premises, which he gave up five years ago. There had been six tenants in occupation during the past six years. They all gave it up through bad trade, there being a net loss year by year. The present tenant was merely the nominee of the mortgagees.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- Witness paid £500 for the assignment of the lease, and had spent £130 on alterations. The amount of the mortgage was £900, of which from time to time a certain amount had been wiped off, but he did not know how much.

P. J. M'Keown said the Messrs. M'Ardle, Moore, & Co., brewers, became mortgages of the house in 1903. There was an amount of £500 outstanding on the mortgage. There had been continuous loss on the business since the mortgage.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- He did not know what the interest on the mortgage was.

Mr. Stewart, an auctioneer and valuer, said the house was about sixty or seventy years old, and he had never known it to pay. The building was only worth about £130. He estimated the equitable valuation at £28.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- He did not take the license into account, not considering it of any value.

Mr. Rafferty, recalled, said Messrs. Brown, Corbett, & Company were part mortgagees. The present value of the mortgage was £630 or £640. It had been written down to this amount from £900, nothing having been paid on either principal or interest. He did not think DR. O'Doherty received any remuneration, He was a bookkeeper for Brown, Corbett, & Co., was merely a licensee.

Thomas Connor said he was manager of the house, in the conduct of which Mr. O'Doherty took no part. Witness received £20 a year for managing the establishment.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- Witness received a salary jointly paid by M'Ardle, Moore, & Co., and Brown, Corbett, & Co.

Adam Turner, auctioneer, stated that he had known the house for forty years, and had sold it as often as he had fingers and toes, (Laughter.)

Mr. Campbell -- That is twenty times.

Witness, continuing, said he was on his oath, and before God he would not give half-a-crown for the house. (Renewed laughter.)

Mr. Talbot, on behalf of the Commissioner, stated that he estimated the annual valuation of the house at £45. Tho value of the license in his opinion £200. The old valuation of the premises was £33. He believed £400 would represent the goodwill and value of the license in regard to this house.

His Honour fixed the valuation at £37 and the license at £8.

THOMAS CONNOR.

Thomas Connor appealed in respect of the premises, 111 and 113, Cupar Street.

Mr. Campbell (instructed by Mr. Thompson) represented the appellant, and he stated that the old valuation was £15, and the valuation appealed against was £30. The premises were purchased at £412 10s, and subject to a fee-farm rent of £5, paid in half-yearly instalments.

Thomas Connor stated that the premises had been taken over by Messrs. M'Ardle, Moore, & Co., for whom he acted as manager, receiving by arrangement £20 yearly. The business was carried on at an average loss of £90 per year. The fee-farm interest of the premises was purchased by Messrs. M'Ardle, Moore, & Co.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- Witness managed a number of other public-houses for Messrs. M'Ardle, Moore, & Co., and got £20 each.

At this stage of the case

Mr. Campbell intimated that it had been arranged by consent to make the valuation of the buildings £25 and the license £3.

His Honour ruled accordingly.

OWEN RAFFERTY.

Owen Rafferty appealed against the valuation in respect of the premises in Durham Street.

Mr. Campbell (instructed by Mr. Thompson) appeared for the appellant, and stated that the old valuation was £30 and the present valuation £42. The premises were formerly held under lease, and latterly it was retaken by Rafferty at a rent of £3 per month. The appellant thought that in all fairness he was entitled to a reduction seeing that the tenancy was a monthly one, and subject to all the disabilities of a monthly tenancy.

Owen Rafferty was examined.

Mr. Stewart, valuer, said the house was in the worst business end of Durham Street. He thought the building was worth about £50. The fair valuation was £20, having regard to the frontage.

To Mr. Fitzgerald -- He put no value on the license unless there was some arrangement between the landlord and tenant.

Mr. Talbot, for the Commissioner, estimated the fair valuation of the building at £36, from which he deducted £6 for repairs and insurance, and the valuation of the license at £12.

To Mr. Campbell -- There were several other public-houses in Durham Street.

Mr. Fitzgerald said the Commissioner was willing to put £30 on the house and £9 on the license.

Mr. Campbell said the payment of £36 in monthly instalments was not the same as the payment of a like amount on a yearly tenancy, considering the struggling nature of the business.

His Honour fixed the valuation at £30 on the buildings and £9 on the license.

BERNARD LAVERY.

Bernard Lavery appealed in respect of premises in Lower May Street.

Mr. Campbell (instructed by Mr. Thos. Maguire) said the valuation appealed against was £38, and the old valuation had been £21. The premises consisted of a public-house, a room and a kitchen on the ground floor, and two rooms on the upper floor. They were very old, and in a bad state of repair. There were four other public-houses situated within a distance of fifteen yards. The present rent was £40, and the tenancy was a yearly one.

Evidence having been heard,

His Honour confirmed the valuation of the Commissioner.

THOMAS M'GUIGAN.

Thomas M'Guigan appealed in regard to the premises situated at the corner of Donegall Square and Corporation Square.

Mr. Campbell (instructed by Mr. Thomas Maguire) said the house was held under a lease of twenty-five years from the 1st of May, 1904, and it was a very old structure. The rent reserved by the lease was £60. The old valuation was £32, and the present valuation appealed against, £75. The predecessor of M'Guigan paid £2,500 for the lease, and M'Guigan paid £1,420. The business had depreciated considerably in recent years owing to the traffic having changed to the York Dock direction.

Evidence having been gone into,

His Honour said the house brought £1,420 under compulsory sale in the Court of Chancery, and in that way property did not bring its full value. The valuation made seemed to him to be fair and reasonable, and he confirmed it.

THOMAS CONVERY.

Mr. Thomas Convery appealed in respect of premises in the Ormeau Road district known as the Havelock Bar.

In reply to Mr. Campbell, appellant said he paid £38 a year rent, and held the house by a lease, of which there were seventeen years yet to run. The old valuation was £19 and the new £36 -- £30 on the house and £6 on the license. During the past few years the population had fallen off in the district, and a number of builders' yards, from which he had derived a good deal of custom, had been closed. His house faced a stable, and the street could not in any sense be called a public thoroughfare.

Evidence having been heard,

His Honor confirmed the Commissioner's valuation of £30 on the bouse and £6 on the license.

THE EXECUTORS OF P. FLANIGAN.

In this case, for the premises at Gret Victoria Street known as the Crown, it was settled by consent that the valuation should be £210 on the house and £80 on the license. In regard to other premises, known as the Adelphi Hotel, held by the same appellants, the valuation was arranged at £120 on the buildings and £20 on the license.

PETER CONVERY.

Mr. Peter Convery appealed in respect of licensed premises at the corner of Cromac Street and Catherine Street.

Mr. Campbell, who appeared for the appellant, in opening the case, said the premises were held on a lease which had 28½ years to run from 1st May, 1904. The rent was £60, the valuation appealed against was £60, and they contended that £45 was a fair valuation.

Peter Convery said he had held the house for twelve years. He paid £1,575 for the place at that time, and that price included furniture, stock, and utensils, which would be worth about £150. He expended £15 or £16 a year on repairs. During the past few years there were a great number of empty houses in the neighbourhood, and much of the traffic through Cromac Street had been diverted into Ormeau Avenue.

Mr. John Rooney said the value of licensed premise in Cromac Street had gone steadily down for the past few years. He knew of one public-house in the street for which no purchaser could be found when it was placed on the market, and another which was rebuilt and into which the tenant was admitted without a fine.

Mr. Jenkins, valuer, said the house as it stood should only be valued for £45.

Examined by Mr. Fitzgerald -- Without the license the building would be £32.

Charles Boland, examined by Mr. Fitzgerald, said the valuation was £42 on the building, and £18 on the license.

Mr. Fitzgerald -- In regard to the public-house mentioned by Mr. Rooney, to which a tenant was admitted without fine, the fact was that an enormous rent was asked, which included the price of the license.

His Honour said in 1892 the house was worth £60 a year rent, and £1,575 for a fine. Had it depreciated so much since that it was now worth nothing like that? It was a curious thing that the valuer should have given the figures as £42 for the house and £18 for the license, exactly the same as the rent reserved under the lease. He could not act on the evidence given as to the condition of affairs in the district and the number of empty houses, and would confirm the valuation of £42 for the building and £18 for the license.

SETTLED BY CONSENT.

In the case of Mr. John Rooney, for premises at Rosemary Street and Winecellar Entry, Mr. Campbell announced it was settled by consent that the valuation should be £75 on the house and £20 on the license, making a total of £95.

In another case by the same appellant, for premises at Cromac Square, known as "The Citadel," it was also settled by consent that the valuation on the house should be £94 and on the license £26, making a total of £120.

The Court adjourned until eleven o'clock this morning.

SUDDEN DEATH IN MONAGHAN.

The death has occurred under very painful circumstances of Mr. Samuel Henry, pharmaceutical chemist, Monaghan. The deceased, who was just in the prime of manhood, was in his shop, where he carried on an extensive business, on the morning of the 23rd inst., and at about one o'clock was seen in a storeroom, situated above the shop. His private residence is some distance from the shop, and as he did not turn up yesterday morning his wife proceeded to the shop, which is attached to his father's grocery and baker's premises. Mrs. Henry was unable to gain any information of her husband's whereabouts, and a search in the storeroom resulted in their finding the dead body under a counter in the apartment. Mr. Henry had evidently been reading, a magazine being found in his hand, and had fallen off the chair on which he had been sitting. The deceased, who suffered from a weak heart, had been under medical care for some time past, and heart disease was the cause of death. The occurrence has created widespread regret, and great sympathy is felt for his widow and family, and other relatives. Mr. Henry was most popular with all classes, possessing an amiable disposition, and was a thorough sportsman. Dr. R. W. Stewart, J.P., yesterday investigated the matter himself, and after thorough examination considered that an inquest was not necessary.
