The Agricultural Holdings {England) Act, 1883. 47 
lands belonging to the two Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall. 
The "landlord" for the purposes of the Act will be (1) for 
Crown land, the Commissioners of Woods, Forests, and Land 
Revenues, or one of them, or some person appointed under the 
royal sign manual : (2) for Duchy of Lancaster land, the 
Chancellor of the Duchy ; (3) for Duchy of Cornwall land, 
such person as mav be from time to time appointed by the 
Duke of Cornwall for the time being, or by the personage 
for the time being entitled to the revenues and possessions of 
the Duchy. These substituted landlords will give and receive 
notices under the Act r and the machinery provided in the 
Act will apply to all differences arising with the tenants on 
these lands. Special provision, however, is made, as follows, 
lor the charge of a tenant's compensation. 
In the case of Crown lands, the compensation payable for 
permanent improvements and drainage, instead of being charged 
on the holding, will be charged under the Crown Lands Act, 
1866, § 1, " as a principal sum to the account of the capital of 
the land revenue of the Crown," the sum so charged being 
" repaid out of the income of the land revenue of the Crown," 
as the Treasury may direct. Compensation for temporary 
improvements will be deemed to be part of the expenses of 
management (§ 35). As to Duchy of Lancaster lands, perma- 
nent improvements and drainage will be deemed an improve- 
ment of land within 57 Geo. 3, c. 97, s. 25, which authorises 
the Chancellor and his Council to sell so much of the funded 
property of the Duchy as may be necessary to repay the cost of 
such improvement. Compensation to tenants for temporary 
improvements will be paid out of the annual revenues of the 
Duchy (§ 36). As to the Duchy of Cornwall estates, the 
compensation for permanent improvements and drainage will 
be advanced from the Duchy funds arising from sales and 
enfranchisements, and will be charged upon the Duchv revenue, 
with a provision for repayment by annual instalments in not 
less than thirty years (§ 37 ; and see Duchy of Cornwall Manage- 
ment Act, 1863, s. 8). As § 37 makes no special provision for 
the payment of compensation for temporary Improvements, it 
may be assumed that the substituted landlord may either obtain 
a charge in respect of them from the County Court in the 
ordinary course, or defray them out of revenue.

The provisions made in 1875-6 with respect to these lands 
are also now re-enacted. An archbishop or bishop is the land-
