31 & 32 Vict. Cap. 70. An Act to amend "The Railways (Ireland) Act, 1851," "The Railways (Ireland) Act, 1860," and "The Railways (Ireland) Act, 1864," as to the Trial of Traverses. [31st July, 1868.]

14 & 15 Vict. WHEREAS by the twenty-sixth section of "The Railways Act (Ireland), 1851," it is provided that where the party named in any certificate of the amount of the price or compensation ascertained by any award (or any party claiming under the party so named) should be dissatisfied with the amount in such certificate certified to be payable, and where any party claiming any interest in any monies paid into court should be dissatisfied with the amount of the price or compensation in respect of such monies, and where any party interested in land adjoining any railway should be dissatisfied with any award so far as respects any works for the accommodation of lands thereby awarded to be made and maintained by the company, or which such party might claim to have so made and maintained, it should be lawful for such party, at the assizes for the county in which the lands are situate, or, where the lands are situate in the county of Dublin or county of the city of Dublin, in the term next following the giving of such certificate, or the payment of such money into court, or (if the claim be only in respect of accommodation works) the making of the award, or where such assizes are holden or such term begins within less than twenty-one days after the giving of such certificate, or the payment of such money, or the making of the award, then at the next subsequent assizes, or in the next subsequent term (as the case might be), upon giving ten days notice in writing previously to such assizes or term respectively to the secretary of the company of the amount or the accommodation works intended to be claimed, to have a traverse for damages entered in the crown book in respect of such claim, and thereupon such traverse should be tried in such manner, subject to such regulations, and with such consequences, as in the said act in that behalf respectively mentioned: And whereas by "The Railways Act (Ireland), 1860,"

23 & 24 Vict.

the said first-mentioned act was amended and made per- 31 & 32 VICT. petual:

CAP. 70.

And whereas by the first section of the Railways Act 27 & 28 Vict. (Ireland), 1864, it is provided that in all cases where the c. 71. amount of money which the arbitrator should have awarded to be paid by the company to any person in respect of any estate or interest in lands should exceed the sum of five hundred pounds it should be lawful for the company, if dissatisfied with such award upon giving to such person within ten days next after the date of such award notice in writing of their intention to appeal therefrom, to have a traverse entered by the company in the crown book in respect of such award at the same time and in like manner in all respects as were provided with respect to traverses taken by persons dissatisfied with any award, and the like proceedings should be taken with respect to a traverse so taken by the company, and the verdict of the jury upon such traverse should have the like effect as in the case of a traverse taken by a person so dissatisfied.

And whereas such traverses as aforesaid must at present be tried in the county or county of a city where the lands are situate; and it is expedient to amend the law in that respect in the manner herein-after mentioned:

Be it therefore enacted by the queen's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

1. This act may be cited as "The Railways Traverse Short title. Act."
