Heads of Richard Petersh Leases to Tenants, on Shares, 



Extracted from the Lease for Belmont Farm, 



The legal form, is such as is common in leases re- 

 serving rent in money. — The specific share, or the 

 produce of it in cash, when Richard Peters directs or 

 consents to its sale, is subject to the legal modes of 

 recovery ; and its safety insured, by its being a lien on 

 the tenants property. 



1. ^ht premises set on shares 2iYQ^ clearly described. 

 Reservations of such parts of the farm, mansion house 

 &c. as are thought proper by the landlord are made. 

 The tenanfs house and barn &c. are at a distance from 

 the mansion house ; to prevent inconvenient inter- 

 ferences, and sources of petty contests. 



2. A fixed quantity of dung^ from the tenant's muck 

 heap, may be taken if the landlord chooses. Also straw, 

 not exceeding an eighth part of the whole. 



3. The landlord is to put all post and rail fences , and 

 the tenant all xvorm fences ^ in good repair.^ The tenant 

 to hale all materials, found by Richard Peters, for both. 

 The materials for the latter, and posts for the former, to 

 be taken out of the landlord's woods : for worm fences 

 and repairs of post fences, (after being put by landlord 

 in good order) at the tenant's expence, or by his labour. 



* This applies to the first period when the tenant arrives.: 

 Afterwards he is bound to keep the fences in repair as they 

 require it. It would be inadmissible and unjust, to let them 

 rot down, and call on the landlord for entire new fences.
