Mr. Cecil L. Smith in
a report dated 15th May, 1878,
多
says
It is
a well known rule
of the market
that when
a stall falls vacant it is
put up to tender
and
Governor Stewart
asking the
question when
Stall reverts to Government has often arisen, and
it seems to have been the
invariable rule to hold that
they did so revert and
pass to
(my emphasis)
the representatives of the deceased have always petitioned the Government
to allow them to continue,
sometimes they have been
allowed to do so on
paying a premium, sometimes under special circumstances they have been admitted without
any payment, and at other times the Stall has been put
up for sale.
The question when the holder of
a stall dies leaving a
wife and
child who desire to carry
on the business is that regarded
as vacant? M. Smith answers, "That in the contingency
given
the Stall would still be held
to be vacant,"
Gerard, who was
Acting Registrar
General in December, 1878, (CSO2798) it will be
seen that it
was held that on the death
of the Lessee
the Stall reverted
to Government.
