That, with a like object, we also recommend that tenants, with the
consent of their landlords, should have power to apply for public loans
in the same manner as the proprietor himself, and to charge the lands
improved with the repayment of the money advanced--the tenant rendering
himself responsible for the annual instalments that shall accrue due
during the period of his occupation; and that in order to encourage the
investment of the tenant's own capital upon his land, his right to
compensation for permanent improvements, in case of his removal, should
be recognised by law.
16. That, to remove the obstacles that now obstruct employment, the laws
which regulate the management of estates under the Courts of Equity
should be revised and amended, and facilities should be given to landed
proprietors to sell portions of their estates for the payment of
charges.
That, with a like object, and to diminish the enormous expense and
delays that now exist in these matters, cheap and simple modes should be
devised for the transfer, partition, and exchange of landed property.
17. That, in addition to these measures for the absorption of surplus
labour, for the affording facilities for private employment, and for the
removing of the obstacles that now obstruct it, we are of opinion that
other measures of an economical and social nature are imperatively
called for.
