954 4 GEO. 2, CAP. 28, SURRENDERS.
after the Twenty fourth Day of June, One thousand seven
hundred and thirty one, all and every Person or Persons, Bodies
Politick and Corporate, shall and may have the like Remedy by
Distress, and by impounding and selling the same, in Cases of
Rents, Seek Bents of Assize and Chief Rents, which have been
duly answered or paid for the Space of Three Years, within
the Space of Twenty Years before the First Day of this present
Session of Parliament, or shall be hereafter created, as in case
of Rent reserved upon Lease; any Law or Usage to the contrary
notwithstanding.
VI. And whereas many Persons hold considerable Estates by
Leases for Lives or Years, and lease out the same in Parcels
to several Under Tenants: And whereas many of those Leases

all the Under Leases derived thereout had been likewise sur-

Life or Lives, or for Years, shall, from time to time, be vested
by virtue of such new Lease, and his, her, and their Executors
and Administrators, shall be intitled to the Rents, Covenants,

the Under Lessees shall hold and enjoy the Messuages, Lands,
and Tenements, in the respective Under Leases comprised, as
if the Original Leases, out of which the respective Under
Leases are derived, had been still kept on foot and continued,
and the Chief Landlord and Landlords shall have, and be inti-
