Ments derived from coins Mr. Duddell, the Lessee of Westerns Market, has to pay his Rents. I understand he has executed a Lease, according to which payment would, like in cases of Land Rent, have to be made in Dollars, but that such Lease has as yet been retained in the Land Office.
Mr. Duddell has hitherto paid every farthing of his Market Rent in Sterling coins, and I have never thought of demanding it otherwise; only after Mr. Duddell had made his last payment; my attention was drawn to the matter by learning, that he has subleased the Market for $650 Mexican Government per Month, when he pays $255 per Month, or rather, since he pays in English coins, at the rate of £215.
The Central Market producing Dollars 600 per month is supposed to produce £900 per mensem to the Lessee, who has however to pay, as I have been given to understand, from £100 to £120 per Month for the management and overseers, besides the expenses for keeping in repairs the Buildings, and it must be acknowledged that the Lessee has, since he became such, greatly improved the Market by building a seawall, improving the houses and stalls, and laying pavement.
2°. The third Market established on private property is kept under a License for which he pays since the 1st Instant £14 Sterling per Month, and which produces to its owner, it is said, about $350 per Month, the Land on which this market is held is private property, and the houses thereon.
