PETERSFIELD, Saturday, April 29.
APPEALS.— At the Petty Sessions held on Tuesday, much interest was excited in consequence of two appeals having been entered for hearing by Messrs. Benjamin and Henry Warner, of Hawkley, against the valuation made by Mr. J. T. Twynam, of Winchester, of their two several farms in that parish; there were present on the bench, the Hon. T. T. Carnegie, chairman; Sir J. C. Jervoise, Sir W. W. Knighton, J. Waddington, Esq., and Major Briggs; Mr. Blackmore, of Alresford, appeared as solicitor for the appellants, and Mr. Albery, of Midhurst, for the respondents, the assessment committee of the Union, for whom Mr. Twynam had made the valuation of the parish. Mr. Wyatt, of Chichester, and Mr. Shotter, valuers, supported the appeal on behalf of Messrs. Warner, and Mr. Thring, of the firm of Thring and Gale, of Winchester, supported Mr. Twynam’s valuation. After a long hearing, occupying from four to five hours, the appeal of Mr Benjamin Warner was dismissed, and the valuation confirmed; on this decision, Mr. Henry Warner withdrew his appeal, and the valuation as made by Mr. Twynam remains un-disturbed.
