tl11ct is now extended to the tenants prop
erty. This is Il valuable boon. It not only
eStabIisnes such freedom in tile south OF
Ireland, but in Ulster it sweeps away estate
rst ?ss to Wit or eio 9 IN acre. M s Tie tenant can
sell for the best price he can get.
LII the acr OF 1870 there was no machinery
for the ascertal,lment Of Il fair rent. In by
gone years perpetuity Of tenure was put IN
tie forefront; in recent years fair rent
assumed priority. White admitting the
Importance of i solid tenure, it was telt
that rent determined the fate Of
agriculture more than anything else Hence,
tie cry for Il reduction Of rents becA1ue uni
yersul. The act enables every ytenant-at-wil!,
and every feaseholder whose lease was
| tnrced upon him BY fraudulent means since
1870. to apply to the Land Court to Tx the
future rent. LII fixing this rent the tenant's
improvements are to be excluded. The old
! complaint was that lien Il farmer Improved
his Iald the landlord increased the rent.
Never again eau such iIjustice be perpe-
| trated. TIe principle OF THE rent clause Is
That the landlord is only entitled to the year
| ~ value Of the soil in its natural state, sub
jcct to the enhancement of this value
through the sapcral improvements OF tue
trary direction, the vtlue would decrease.
