JThe right acqv^lred by a purchaser of a market stall Is in the nature of an easement in, not a t^tle to, a freehold In the land, and such right or easement is limited in duration to the existence of the market, and is to be understood «.s acquired subject to such changes and modifications in the market during its eadstence, as the public needs may require. The purchase confers an exclusive right to occupy the particular stalls, with their appendages, for the purposes of the market, and none other, and subject to the regulation of the market. So held in a case in 2 Md. Law Rec. 81, a case of a public market in Baltimore. In Wartman v. City of Philadelphia, 33 Pa. 202, the court refused to enjoin the city of Philadelphia from demolishing the old market house with a view to building a new one on other property. See, also, Gall v. City of Cincinnati, 18 Ohio St. 563; 19 Am. L. Reg. N. S. 9.
