34. And for the purpose of providing for the necessary revision of the valuation of the land in consequence of changes that may have taken place in the gross amount of the value of the several townlands from time to time, be it enacted, that at or after the termination of fourteen years from the period of the final completion of the first general tenement valuation of any poor law union, county, or barony, under the Act of the ninth and tenth years of her present Majesty, chapter one hundred and ten, or under this Act, it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant on application by the grand jury of the county, if he shall think fit so to do, to direct the Commissioner of Valuation to make a general revision of the valuation of any such poor law union, county, or barony, and so from time to time at or after the expiration of every subsequent period of fourteen years from the final completion of the preceding general revision of the valuation to cause a new revision to be made, and upon each such occasion to cause notice to be given to the grand jury of such county, county of a city or county of a town, previous to such direction, by letter from the chief secretary, addressed to the secretary of the grand jury of such county, county of a city or county of a town, and also notice to be given to the clerks of the boards of guardians of the several unions or parts of unions contained within such county; and the said commissioner shall proceed therein as in the first general valuation or general revision of valuation of any county which may have been made under the provisions of this Act; and the grand jury of the said county, county of a city or county of a town, and all officers thereof, and every public officer or other person duly authorized, shall perform all acts required to be done by them or him in the same manner and within the same periods as herein-before is provided for the first general valuation or general revision of valuation of the said county, county of a city or county of a town, and shall have the same powers, privileges, and immunities in the performance of their respective duties; and the said new valuation, when completed, shall have the same effect and operation, to all intents and purposes, as the former general valuation or general revision of valuation, and shall supersede the same; and that which is hereby enacted in relation to such first general valuation or general revision of valuation, and the several proceedings relating thereto, and all matters connected therewith, shall apply in due course and under the same circumstances and conditions to such revision of the valuation to be made from time to time as aforesaid: . . .
