-♦ lwre the rent restrved should be full three-fourths of the
y.a:ly value of the demised premises, who should be
in arrear for one year's rent, should desert the demised

premises, and le.ire the same uncultivated or unoccu-
pied, so as no sufficient distress could be had to coun-
t 'wail the arrears of rent, it should and might be law-
ful to and fur t pio or more usti:;es of the Peace of the

County, Divi,ion, or place (having no interest in the
demisEd premises), at the rctinest of the lessor or landlord,
