The Agricultural Holdings (^England) Act, 1875. 171 
sum so charged being " repaid out of the income of the land 
revenue of the Crown," as the Treasury may direct. In every 
such case, however, the repayment of principal out of income 
must be completed within a period not exceeding thirty years. 
Any compensation for improvements of the second or third class 
made by the tenants of Crown lands will be deemed part of the 
expenses of management of the land revenues of the Crown, and 
paid out of income accordingly (§ 45, sub-sects. 2 and 3). 
In like manner, compensation for first-class improvements 
executed by tenants under the Agricultural Holdings Act upon 
land of (2) the Duchy of Lancaster, will be deemed an expense 
incurred in improving land of the Duchy within 57 Geo. III. 
c. 97, s. 25, which authorises the Chancellor and Council to sell 
so much of the funded estate of the Ducliy as may be necessary 
for such improvement. Compensation for improvements of the 
second and third class will be paid out of the annual revenues of 
the Duchy. Any compensation payable under the Act to the 
Chancellor must be lodged with the Receiver-General of the 
Duchy revenues, and will be applied under the authority of the 
Duchy of Lancaster Lands Act, 1855, in the purchase of land or 
of Bank annuities (§ 46 sub-sects. 2, 3, 4). 
Compensation for first-class improvements upon land belong- 
ing (3) to the Duchy of Cornwall may (under the Duchy of 
Cornwall Management Act, 1863, § 8) be advanced from the 
Duchy funds arising from sales and enfranchisements, and 
charged upon Duchy revenues with a provision for repayment 
by annual instalments in not less than thirty years (§ 47, sub- 
sect. 2). 
Ecclesiastical and Chaeity Lands. 
The Act applies also to these lands. The Archbishop or 
Bishop will, under the Act, be the " landlord " of all lands 
forming the endowment of a see, but he must not exercise the 
powers conferred upon landlords by the Act without the previous 
approval in writing of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners (§ 48). 
In like manner, where the glebe or other land belonging to a 
benefice is let, the incumbent as landlord must not assent to 
improvements by the tenant, or exercise any of the landlord's 
other powers under the Act, except with the previous written 
approval of the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty (§ 49). 
And they, in turn, before so approving, must give notice of the 
application to the patron of the benefice, though he can exercise 
no veto (sub-sect. 3). It is the incumbent, of course, with whom 
the tenant will have to deal, and it will be for him, if he chooses, 
to exclude the holding from the operation of the Act. If he 
obtains the sanction of the Governors to the making of improve- 
ments by the tenant, and compensation is claimed, he may, if
