“ « Proprietors generally have been enabled to place a restriction upon this Tenant-Right, so far at least as to secure a power of selection with respect to the tenant, and to place some limit upon the amount to be paid; wisely judging that a tenant who pays a large sum of money (part of which he probably borrows) in entering upon a farm, will be crippled in his means for the proper management of it. » (Digest of evidence, II, 1120.) « The terms of transfer are often high. They vary from five lo fifteen years purchase on the rent. » (Wiggins, Monster misery of Ireland.) ”
