Tramways and Public Companies (Ireland) Act, 1883

Petition of appeal against presentment.

2. In addition to the persons entitled under the Tramways (Ireland) Acts to appeal to the Lord Lieutenant in Council against the presentment of a grand jury approving of the undertaking, it shall be lawful for any persons, not less than twenty in number, who are collectively liable to pay one eighth or upwards of the county cess in any barony specified in the presentment of the grand jury, to present a petition of appeal to the Lord Lieutenant in Council against such presentment. Such petition of appeal shall operate in the same manner as a petition of appeal under the Tramways (Ireland) Acts to prevent the Order in Council from taking effect unless confirmed by Parliament.
