Content: Folios 393-396. Letter from Samuel James Tibbs, Clerk to the Guardians of the Tynemouth Poor Law Union, to the Poor Law Board, acknowledging receipt of their letter of 6 August 1850 referring to an application by the churchwardens and overseers of Tynemouth to have a revaluation of the rateable property. He states that the valuation done in 1839 appears not to have been done very well and that there are no records in the office. Also since then a railway has been completed, the value of house property has altered, both appreciating and depreciating and that there are new streets and buildings. There is also no map available for the purpose of valuation and that magistrates have complained that one was needed in deciding appeals against rating. He encloses the 2 certificates requested by their letter of 6 August 1850. 1. Signed 12 August 1850 by churchwardens John Dale and Henry Clarkson and overseers Shallett Hewson, John Foster Spence, Edward E Oliver and Thomas Knott. 2. Signed 15 August 1850 by John Tinley, Chairman of the Tynemouth Union, in the presence of Tibbs These certificates related to the Act 6& 7 William IV cap 96, commonly called the Parochial Assessment Act.
