§ MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether, in the case of agistment, a landlord can distrain upon stock not the property of the tenant, but which are on other crops sub-let by the tenant to another person?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)In the case of agistment, properly so called, the landlord cannot distrain upon stock not the property of the tenant. But if, as the latter part of the Question of the hon. Member supposes, the crop has been sub-let, it is not a case of agistment so called, and the stock are not free from distress.
