Power of Session upon Appeals against Rates.
|
CXXXVI. And be it enacted, That the said Court of General or Quarter Sessions shall upon Appeals under this Act against any Rate have the same Power to amend or quash any Rate or Assessment, and to award Costs between the Parties to the Appeal, as is or may by Law be vested in any Court of General or Quarter Sessions with respect to amending or quashing any Rate or Assessment, or awarding Costs, upon Appeals With respect to Rates for the Relief of the Poor; and the Costs awarded by the said Court under this Act may be recovered in the same Manner in all respects as Costs awarded upon the last-mentioned Appeals: Provided always, that, notwithstanding the quashing of any Rate appealed against, all Monies charged by such Rate shall, if the Court before whom the Appeal is heard think fit so to order, be levied as if no Appeal had been made, and such Monies, when paid, shall be taken as Payment on account of the next effective Rate for the Purposes in respect of which the quashed Rate was made.
