THE valuation of land in Ireland, whether with a view to public assessment or to the framing of bargains between the owners and the occupiers of land, is certainly one of the most important subjects affecting the interests of all classes in the 'community, because it must be the principal regulator of all our social arrangements. If the basis adopted were sound, uniform, and generally understood, there could be no confusion or misapprehension as to the claims or rights of the classes or parties interested; and the acknowledged existence of such confusion is in itself a sufficient proof that there must have been something very defective indeed in the practice generally adopted heretofore. The satisfactory valuation of land does not consist in merely fixing the yearly price which a tenant is to pay for each acre of his farm. It depends upon being able to prove, by minute details, to both the parties interested, that that price is the right one, under all the circumstances of the case; and that in fixing it their respective rights have been strictly protected. 2z
