LANDLORD AND TENANT. 129 



with the tenant-right. E. offers 51 5s. and F. 

 51. Both parties being equal in other respects 

 the offer of the former is accepted, and he be- 

 comes tenant for a term of years, at the expiry 

 of which he renews his lease, agreeing to pay 

 6s. 6d. per acre of additional rent. 



In the above three examples it will readily 

 be perceived that A., C., and E., by agreeing to 

 become industrious and improving tenants, ex- 

 clude themselves from having any claims upon 

 their landlords at the expiry of their leases 

 for meliorations executed by them. 



What is true of permanent improvements is 

 also true of specific modes of husbandry. In 

 ninety-nine cases out of every hundred A., C., 

 and E. promise to cultivate on the most improved 

 system. If for instance, therefore, we suppose 

 that during the currency of a lease, artificial 

 manures shall be discovered, and that the 

 application of these shall actually enhance the 

 value of the soil 6s. 6d. per acre, over and above 

 all expenses, the tenant positively excludes 

 himself from having any right to make a claim 

 upon the landlord at the expiry of his lease 

 for some 51. per acre. The argument of E. 

 that F. will give 251. for his tenant-right is
