THE GOVERNMENTS LAND BILL.

LONDON, April Cit Is expected Glad
stones speech introducing the land bill In
commons tomorrow will occupy three hours.
It is anticipated the bill will provide, I'M
der the head of sale of tenures, that every ten
ancy shall first be to a landlord, and landlord
may prohibit the sale of tenancy where rea---
sonable grounds exist. The question, what
are reasonable grounds, may be referred to
land court.
Where landlord purposes to raise the rent
of the purchasing tenant, the latter may resell
and shall be entitled to demand from the land
lord capitalization equal to ten times the
annual increase demanded. The sale of a ten
ancy bears claim to the compensation for dis
turbance, or improvement and receipts as suoh
compensation bears to the right Of sale. When
the tenant devises his interest to his children,
or other persons, only one of the devisees shall
occupy the tenancy, the object being to
prevent subdivision contrary to the wishes
of landlords. When tenant accepts the In
creased rent proposed by the landlord, such
tenant may not be disturbed for fifteen years,
during which period there shall be no eviction
or compulsory increase of rent, except as a
consequence of breach of certain statutory
conditions; but If the tenant declines the pro-
posed increase and quits, he shall If he sells
his holdings be entitled to receive from the
landlord ten times the amount demanded.
The increase of statutory conditions which
bind the tenant as above are for the punctual
payment of rent, guarantee against the ordina-
ry rights of inspection, shooting etc., and
prohibition to sublet or subdivide without
wsitten permission of the landlord.
The Limitation In the land act OF 1870 of
compensation to disturbance to E25, will be
replaced by sliding scale. Where the rent Is
under ESQ the compensation will be seven
NJ Ia ,,,dar nf
exceeding five years rent Where the rent Is
e100 and upward not exceeding three years
rent.
The act of 1870 will be further amended to
fully protect the tenants right for compensa,
tlon for improvements where tenant sur
renders to a new tenant at the landlords wish,
or takes different holding. The act OF 1870
relating to compensation for Improvements on
eviction is affirmed. What is fair rent may
be decided by court on application of the
landlord and tenant from time to time during
the contlnuancy of the tenancy, but the courts
decision shall have no retrospective action.
When the court has fixed the rent there is to
be no disturbance for fifteen years.
This period of fifteen years security for the
tenant occurs frequently in the bill and Is con-
stituted the statutory term, which must OK.
pire before new term can be given or new
proceedings had. The civil bill court Of the
county is invested with equitable jurisdiction
to meet cases where tho landlord and tenant
act unreasonably toward one another. 1t may
punish the tenant by ordering him to pay
costs for refusing to accept terms the court
thinks reasonable. 1t may enable the lane.
lord to resume the holding by ordering the
tenant to sell his interest. Where the landlord
and tenant agree for longer tenancy than the
statutory fifteen years, the conrt will
endorse the agreement and protect 1t
as If it were for the statutory term and when
to fixed the present tenancy Is converted In
to fixed tenancy the rent shall be subject to
revaluation by the court at intervals Of not
less than fifteen years, and tenants shall not
be evicted except upon breach of statutory
conditions.
The owner of an entalled estate may exercise
rights as though he were absolute owner,
except that he may not give a fixed tenancy
without the sanction of the court. Appeals
will be from the civil bill court to the as
sizes, and In special cases to supreme courts
in Dublin. Parties may arbitrate on agree
ment. The machinery of land courts will lie
chiefly In the hands of land commission. A
second bill amendatory of the act OF 1870 re-
lates to the purchasing powers under the
Bright clauses.
