The Agricultural Holdings (^England) Act, 1875. 165 
contain the appellant's case, and it must set out the following 
particulars : — 
1. If the ground of appeal is that the award is invalid, a 
statement of the several objections to its validity on which the 
appellant relies. 
2. If the ground of appeal is the award of compensation 
fo which the claimant was not entitled (§ 36, sub-sect. 2), a 
statement showing in respect of what matters compensation is 
alleged to have been improperly awarded. 
3. If the ground of appeal is the non-award of compensation 
to which the claimant was entitled (§ 36, sub-sect. 3), a state- 
ment showing in respect of what matters compensation is alleged 
to have been improperly withheld. 
The Orders further prescribe that no ground of appeal shall 
be allowed at the trial unless these requirements are complied 
with. In other words, the appellant will be out of Court unless 
he not only specifies his ground or grounds of appeal, but 
supports each ground by particulars. The concise statement 
must also contain the names, in full, and address both of 
respondent and appellant, and of the appellant's solicitor, if the 
proceedings are commenced through a solicitor. The respon- 
dent's name and address being thus obtained, the Registrar must, 
within twenty-four hours after the filing of the concise state- 
ment, send a copy by post to the respondent, accompanied by a 
notice requiring him to deliver to the Registrar a statement in 
answer within eight days after, not the receipt, but the trans- 
mission to him of the appellant's concise statement. The two 
documents may now be conveniently distinguished as statement 
and answer. The respondent's answer must be signed by 
himself or his solicitors and disclose the following matters : — 
" (rt.) Whether he disputes the validity in law of all, or any, 
and which of the grounds of objection to the award. 
" {b.) Whether he disputes the truth in fact of all, or any, 
and which of the grounds of appeal. 
" (c.) Whether he admits the validity in law, and truth in fact, 
of all, or any, and which of the grounds of appeal. 
" (rf.) Whether he prays that the case may be remitted to be 
reheard. 
" (e.) His name and address, and that of his solicitor, if the 
statement be delivered through a solicitor." 
On receiving the respondent's answer the Registrar must 
transmit a copy of it and of the award and grounds of appeal to 
the Judge, who, " as soon as conveniently may be," is to appoint 
a time and place for the hearing of the appeal, and instruct the 
Registrar to give notice of such appointment forthwith to the
