£926 To Recover £l4O,
A case was mentioned in the Dublin! King's Bench in which a landlord sued his tenant for £l4O-rent. The tenant tendered £ll2 odd and claimed to be entitled to deduct the rates he had paid, £27 odd, from the rent. The King's Bench decided that the tenant was entitled to deduct the £27. The Court of Appeal confirmed the decision, but the House of Lords decided that he was not entitled to deduct the whole £27, and gave judgment for £7 2s Id, the amount of the poor rate, which had been included in the £27. The costs of the proceedings amounted to £926 3s Sd. and this sum will be increased by the latest proceedings, in which the taxing master's certificate was challenged.
