48 Tlie Agricultural Holdings {England) Act, 1883. 
exercise no powers under the Act in respect of these lands 
except with the previous approval in writing of the Estates 
Committee of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners (§ 81). In 
like manner, where the glebe land or other land belonging to 
the benefice is let, the incumbent as landlord, before exercising 
the powers of the Act, must have the approval of the patron 
entitled to present upon a vacancy, or of the Governors of 
Queen Anne's Bounty, who may, if they think fit, on behalf of 
the incumbent, pay to the tenant the amount of compensation 
due to him, and may thereupon obtain a charge upon the 
holding in their favour. This charge will be effectual, notwith- 
standing any change of the incumbent (§ 39). The incumbent 
may, it seems, with the approval of the Governors of Queen 
Anne's Bounty, obtain a charge on the holding. In fact, as 
there is no obligation upon them to advance the money, he 
must do so on their default ; but it is obviously better that 
this duty should be performed by the Governors. The Act of 
1875 required them to communicate with the patron in exer- 
cising any of these powers. They are now relieved from this 
necessity. 
Trustees in whom the legal estate of lands is vested for ecclesi- 
astical or charitable purposes are, as in 1875, prohibited from 
charging the land for compensation due to tenants, except with 
the written approval of the Charity Commissioners (§ 40). 
Resumption for Improvements. 
Another very useful provision in the Act of 1875, now incor- 
porated in the new Act, is that authorising landlords to give a 
tenant from year to year notice to quit part of his holding, in 
order that they may resume possession of such part for any of 
the eight following purposes (§ 41): — 
1. Erecting farm labourers' cottages, with or without gardens. 
2. Providing gardens for existing farm labourers' cottages or 
other houses. 
3. Allotment for labourers of land for gardens or other 
purposes. 
4. Planting trees. 
5. Opening or working any coal, ironstone, limestone, or 
other mineral ; or a stone quarry, clay, sand, or gravel pit ; or 
constructing any works or buildings to be used in connection 
therewith. 
6. Obtaining brick-earth, gravel, or sand. 
7. Making a water-course or reservoir. 
8. Making any road, railway, tram-road, siding, canal, or 
basin, or any wharf, pier, or other work connected therewith.
