are considered by the city authorities to be somewhat. in excess of the market value, but not greatly so.
The law of each country gives damages to tenants in addition to the value of the land and buildings, and permits such damages to be given for loss of good-will, business or custom consequent on being obliged to move to another locality.
It is in connection with the awards of damages for this latter class of injury that complaint as to excessive awards is made, it being considered that the juries in the one country and the judges in the other are more likely to err or be misled regarding the damages claimed for loss of business or custom than as to those which relate to the value of land or buildings.
