and whose holding was then cultivated as a market garden 
with the knowledge of the landlord to obtain compensation on 
the termination of his tenancy for planting of fruit trees, fruit 
bushes, and the other various market garden improvements 
mentioned in the Third Schedule to the Agricultural Holdings 
Act, 1908, in the absence of any previous written notice of 
dissent by the landlord to the execution of such improvements, 
although the tenancy may be only a yearly tenancy which 
might have been determined within a year or two of the 
commencement of the Market Gardeners’ Compensation Act, 
1895, which first conferred special rights to compensation upon 
tenants of land at that date in cultivation as a market garden. 
The rights to compensation under such* tenancies are therefore 
no longer governed by the decision in Re Kedwell and 
Flint & Co. 
The Ancient Monuments Consolidation and Amendment 
Act, 1913 (3 and 4 Geo. 5 c. 32), should be noticed, as such 
monuments may be situated on land used for agriculture. 
It empowers the Commissioners of Works and county 
councils to purchase by agreement ancient monuments. The 
expression u ancient monument ” includes the monuments 
specified in the schedule to the Ancient Monuments Protection 
Act, 1882, and any other monuments or things which in the 
opinion of the Commissioners are of a like character, and any 
monument or remains of a monument, the preservation of 
which is a matter of public interest by reason of the historic, 
architectural, traditional, artistic or archaeological interest 
attaching thereto, and the site of any such monument or of 
any remains thereof and any part of the adjoining land which 
may be required for the purpose of fencing, covering or 
otherwise preserving the monument from injury. Ecclesiastical 
buildings for the time being used for ecclesiastical purposes 
are, however, excluded. The Commissioners or county councils 
may with their consent be constituted by the owner of any 
ancient monument its guardians, and they then become liable 
for its maintenance. Provision is also made by this Act for 
orders of the Commissioners of Works placing any monument 
under their protection which is reported to be in danger of 
destruction or removal or damage from neglect or injudicious 
treatment, and it is enacted that the public shall have access to 
any monument of which the Commissioners or a local authority 
are the owners or guardians under regulations to be prescribed 
by the Commissioners or the local authority. There is also 
power given to local authorities to make bye-laws prohibiting 
or restricting the display of advertisements of such a nature or 
in such a manner as to be detrimental to the amenities of any 
ancient monument specified in the bye-law.
