Market
Market [anciently written mercat, fr. mercatus, Lat.], a public time and place of buying and selling; also purchase and sale. It differs from the forum, or market of antiquity, which was a public market-place on one side only, the other sides being occupied by temples, theatres, etc.A market can only be set up by virtue of a royal grant, or by long and immemorial usage, which presupposes a grant.See FAIRS; and (English) Public Health Act, 1875, s. 167, the Public Health Act, 1908 (8 Edw. 7, c. 6), and the Markets and Fairs Clauses Act, 1847 (10 & 11 Vict. c. 14); (English) Markets and Fairs (Weighing of Cattle) Acts, 1886 to 1926.As to disturbance of market, see Goldsmid v.

Shares in public undertakings
Shares in public undertakings. Where the property is vested by charter or Act of Parliament in a body corporate, the shares of the individual corporators in the concern itself are personal, not real, estate; for such shares are merely the rights which each individual possesses as a partner to a share in the surplus profit derived from the employment of the capital, which is a mixed fund, consisting in part of personal chattels, as well as lands and fixtures. Shares in all companies which are within the Companies Acts (see the Companies Act, 1929, s. 62), OR THE Companies Clauses Act, 1845, are personal property; and in many cases of companies incorporated by special Act the shares have been expressly declared to be personal property. Before 1926 the question whether shares in other under-takings were real or personal property turned upon the nature of the shares-that is, whether the holder could call for a specific part of the land itself or only a share of the profits. See now UNDIVID...
Undivided shares in land
Undivided shares in land. Before 1926 a legal estate in undivided shares in land was held by joint tenants, tenants in common, coparceners, and by husband and wife as tenants by entireties (see those titles), but now by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 1 (6), a legal estate is not capable of subsisting or of being created in an undivided share inland, and by the same s. 1 (3) and ss. 34 (4), 205, and 1st Sch., Part IV., and cf. TRUST FOR SALE, such shares are to take effect as equitable interests only in the net proceeds of sale and of the rents and profits of the entirety of the land until sale, while the legal estate must be held by trustees for sale of the entire undivided property. It should be noticed that shares only are affected by these provisions.

Clay, (1914) 3 KB 466: (1914-1915) All ER Rep 882 (888), where the Court of Appeal had to consider the scope of the expression 'open market' occurring in s. 25(1) of the Finance Act, 1910 (10 Edw 7, c 8): The market is to be the open market, as distinguished from an offer to a limited class only, such as the members of the family.
