Abstract:
In my last paper on the Economic Causes of the
State of Agriculture in Ireland, I noticed three of the six legal
impediments to the application of capital, by tenants, to agricultural
operations, namely the old feudal principle that the ownership
of improvements follows the ownership of the land, the law of
agricultural fixtures, and the restraints on leasing power. In this
paper I propose to notice the other three impediments, namely,
the restraints on the power of making tenant-right agreements,
the stamps on leases and other contracts with tenants, and the
remnant of the usury laws. I shall also consider the legal impediments
to the application of capital, by proprietors, to agricultural
improvements.
