§ Mr. BENTHAMasked the right hon. Gentleman if he is aware that, on the purchase of copyhold property in the 1154 court of Earl Manvers, at Crowle and district, worth £200 and of a rental value of £10, the fine on admittance to the court roll is one and a-half year's rent, viz., £15, and also the steward's fee of £3; and that, to enfranchise the same property, the cost is four years' rental, or £40, with the steward's fee £7, making a total of £65 with fine on admittance; and if he will take steps to bring in a measure to reduce these payments to the lord of the manor?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI will call my right hon. Friend's attention to the figures cited in the question.
