Queen Victoria has reason to appreci-
ate the anomalous condition of the law
of landlord and tenant in Great Britain.
Her majesty leases the Abergeldie estate
from Mr.. Ii. III. Gordon, and the farm
buildings, near the castle, where the fa=
nous herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle is
kept, are, very old, in wretched order,
and most inconveniently arranged. Mr..
Gordon is not disposed to erect new
ard improved buildings, and the queen
has decided not to do SO, having discov-
cred that the agricultural holdings act
does not entitle her to compensation if
she gave up the farm, as Mir. Gordon
would not bind himself to take over the
buildings at valuation on the deter
mination of the tenancy. Considering.
however. that the queen has been the
tenant of Abergeldie for nearly forty
| years, and that her present lease has
some seventeen years to run, it seems
| that it would have been profitable to
build the much needed new steading
without any condition whatever. 1t is
clear, though, that the queen may be
expected to supportradical legislation on
the question. n .|s
