Chapters, Archdeacons, Prebendaries, and other Digni-taries Ecclesiastical, and likewise Masters and Governors and Fellows of Colleges and Hospitals in Jrefaw J are, aecording to the Laws now in force, able to grant Leases binding on their Successors for terms of twenty-one years; but such Archbishops, Bishops, and other Persons and Corporations as aforesaid cannot, except in cer-tain cases, grant Leases binding on their Successors for terms exceeding twenty-one years: And whereas the Rents reserved on Leases so granted are greatly less .than
the true annual value of the lands and hereditaments demised, by reason whereof the Lessees or other persons obtaining such Leases are frequently in the habit of paying Fines or Premiums for renewals of the same ; and such Fines or Premiums often con-stitute a material part of the revenues of such Archbishops, Bishops, or other Persons or Corporations :
And whereas such practice is found to be produetive of incon-venience, as well by rendering the amount of such revenues variable and uncertain, as also by checking the application of capital to the improvement of such lands and hereditaments; and it is expedient that the powers of such Archbishops, Bishops, and other Persons or Corporations as aforesaid should be extended as 261.
