LAW (1885) ON THE
PUBLIC MARKETS (RIGHTS OF THE VISCOUNT)
HAVING
taken into consideration a certain Act of the Markets Committee dated 28th
June 1884, of which the tenor follows:
THE MARKETS
COMMITTEE
Eighteen eighty-four, the twenty-eighth day of June.
The Committee, after discussion, decided that it would be
advantageous in the public interest, that the administration and management of
the Public Markets be concentrated in the hands of the States or a Committee of
the States charged to this effect, to the exclusion of any other public
official, and, in order to achieve this result, it would be expedient for the
Viscount to cede all rights vested in him with regard to the said Markets
pursuant to the Laws that have existed up to the present day and that, on the
other hand, he be released from all duties in relation to the said Markets,
provided that the annual sum due to the Viscount and his successors, by virtue
of the relevant Order in Council shall be paid as in the past. And the Viscount, present at the meeting
of the Committee, having participated in the discussions that took place,
declared his readiness to give his agreement to the present decision of the
Committee.
And the Committee decided to communicate this Act to the
States.
THE STATES approved thereof and prayed that Her Most
Excellent Majesty in Council give Her assent thereto.
