(8.) A tenant remaining in his holding at the deter- 

 mination of his tenancy, and entering on a new

 unexhausted value without quitting, or to obtain 

 a proportionate reduction from the new rent. 



(9.) A tenant arbitrarily compelled by the act of his 

 landlord to quit his holding, except for nonpay- 

 ment of rent and for bad farming, should be 

 entitled to such compensation as will cover his 

 loss by removal. 



(10.) Tenants should be free to cultivate the land and 

 sell produce to the best advantage, so long as 

 they maintain its fertility. 



(11.) Tenants should be entitled to claim compensa- 

 tion for damage to their crops by game. 



(12.) Claims for penal rents, or breaches of covenant, 

 should be limited to actual damage proved, and 

 claims for waste should be limited to two years, 

 and not be enforceable unless the landlord shall 

 have given reasonable notice to the tenant to 

 make good, or to desist from the waste specified. 



(13). The landlord should be given an equal right with 

 the tenant to set the Act in operation.
