SPIRIT of th PUBL f C J OURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAIERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE. —We resume our examination of the Government
Report on the Occupation of Land in Ireland. The Commis-
sioners advert to the existence in Ireland of " a species of
tenure scarcely known elsewhere, which prevails very exten-
sively its that country," namely, leases for lives, "with a
covenant of perpetual renewal on payment of a fine, some-
times merely nominal, on the fall of each life," and state that
" one-seventh of Ireland" is held under it. The great evil
of this description of tenure seems to be its uncertainty. It
produces constant litigation as to the existence or conti-
nuance of the right of renewal. The Commissioners recom-
mend "that powers should be given to the lessor and lessee,
in all cases, to commute the fines into an increased rent, and
thus to convert the tenure into an absolute perpetuity." In-
cidentally they also suggest the reference to a court of
equity of " all questions as to the pecuniary value to be
placed on any reservations by covenants which may interfere
with the proper cultivation of the laud." Merely to " give
powers" to the lessor and lessee to commute, would obviously
be of little avail. In a vast majority of instances no such
powers can be necessary. 'Pto give to either party the power
of compelling the other to commute, might have some ef-
fect; but unless some new mode of procedure be provided,
this could only be obtained through the tedious and
expensive medium of a court of equity. Besides, as
is subsequently stated, the lessees under such leases are
"more commonly to be found in the class of landlords than
of occupants :" the matter therefore chiefly concerns the land-
lords, and is of minor importance as regards the main sub-
ject—the occupancy of land, and the grievances of the occu-
piers. Another and more striking peculiarity of Irish
tenure, is " the custom prevalent in the northern countries,
called tenant-right." It appears to consist in the assump-
tion, by a tenant-at-will, of a permanent interest in the
lani—perfectly groundless, in a legal point of view, but still
such as to command a money price from the next occupant.
It is supposed to have had its origin among the tenants
of absentee proprietors, particularly corporate bodies ;
and in the province of Ulster it seems that the value
of the " tenant-right '' is commonly estimated at " ten
twelve, or fifteen years' purchase upon the rent ;" and this,
too (as the Report states), " not only where the rent is con-
sidered low, but where it is fully equal to the value !" The
Commissioners, finding that the district in which this custom
prevails has thriven, and anticipating that a gradual improve-
ment of the relation of landlord and tenant will tend to
obviate its evils, do not recommend any interference with it
by law. It can scarcely be necessary to observe, that as this
" tenant-right" has no legal foundation whatever, the existing
laws are amply sufficient to afford redress to any who may
he aggrieved by it ; and as it rests purely upon the
permission of the landlords anti the mutual agreement of the
tenants, any legislative interference would, of ci urse, be sim-
ply impertinent. In general, throughout Ireland, the occu-
piers hold as tenants-at-will, and, occasionally, under termi-
nable leases for various terms. Of late years, landlords have
in most cases been indisposed to grant leases ; and, in
others, tenants have been unwilling to take them. This
is attributed, in some degree, to the high stamp duty ;
and the Commissioners recommend that where the rent
does not exceed 50/. per annum, and the term shall
not to be less than 14 or more than :11 years, this should be
reduced to 2s. 61. ; as " it is snore for the interest of both
landlord and tenant that leases of a moderate length should
be granted." Under the present mode of levying the stamp
duty upon such documents, it is, to some extent, determined
by their length ; but though the Legislature may reduce
the duty, it is obviously quite powerless against legal ver-
biage. We believe the most approved English practice to
be to grant leases to all cases; less, however, with a view
to permanancy of tenure than to a precise ascertainment of
the terms of occupation. Excepting, indeed, those cases in
which capital is sunk by tenants in permanent improvement,
it is not generally found desirable, for either party, that the
term ofoccupancy should be extended beyond' the period of
mutual agreement. And where such advances are made, a
better security for their return may always be provided than
any mere fixed term of tenancy can afford. In entering upon
the next branch of the subject, that of " Improvements," it is
necessary to observe the distinction betwf en the meaning of
the term as applied in England or Scotland, and in Ireland.
