Excerpt from Leasehold Enfranchisement It is not for me to decry their intelligence in adopting such a method of controversy, but I do say that the reasons which they allege against professional criticism, viz., that it is prejudiced by the fear that legal profits will be decreased, is founded on an entire misconception. If any sweeping change in our land laws were made, it is certain that it would create for the present generation of real property lawyers a large increase of business, and we are not so unpractical a class as to concern ourselves over much with the prospects of our professional successors. A radical change in an extensive field of law cannot be brought about without affecting the rights of many persons; and in the clash of conflicting interests lawyers are not likely to find lack of work. Every new statute requires judicial interpretation, for Parliamentary wisdom does not usually manifest itself in perspicuous diction, and so far as I know the Legislature has never yet succeeded in giving birth to an Act which is free from ambiguity.

Excerpt from Pros and Cons of Leasehold Enfranchisement The main facts in the history of the agitation for Lease hold Enfranchisement are few and fairly simple. According to the Daily News, the movement was at the outset based in great measure on aesthetic considerations. "The ugly, lamentable effects of the leasehold system upon domestic architecture, and the ugly and lamentable effects of that architecture upon the tastes and the character of dwellers in 'brick-boxes' - that, rather than the fiscal and other material injustices of the leasehold system, was what chiefly arrested the attention of Review writers on the question sixteen years ago. When, a dozen years later, the politicians and publicists took the question up systematically, they soon discovered they were labouring upon a soil fully prepared." Foremost among the fortunate persons here referred to stood Mr. Henry Broadhurst, who was then member for Stoke, Mr. James Rowlands, who is now member for Finsbury, and Mr. Howard Evans, the author of "Our Old Nobility" and other useful works. These three gentlemen some four years ago founded the Lease holds Enfranchisement Association, of which the first-named is past-President, the second is Secretary, and the last is Honorary Secretary.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Leases and Terms for Years This is efleemed in law a middle kind of interefl between an Spelm. Ci'tate for life and a tenancy at will; for thofe who held large Rm: diitriéls and tracts of lands, being unacquainted with the arts of hulbandry and tillage, found it their intereft to leafe out their de mefues, which for want of care and cultivation lay wafie, and afforded them little or no profit; and this way of letting for years was thought belt to anfwer the defign and intentions of the lord, as well as the eatpeflations of the tenant; for if they had let them for life, this had given the tenants too great a power over the lord, becaufe then they would have had a property in the freehold, and by fuffering difleifins, or feigned recoveries to be had againfl them felves, might have {halten or endangered the inheritance of the owner; and on the other fide, if they had leafed their land only at will, few would have been willing to befiow any great pains or in dufiry upon [0 precarious a pofl'efiion, which the arbitrary will and pleafure of a peevilh lord might have defeated.
