Land Commissioners, the title by the (English) Settled Land Act, 1882, s. 48, of the Commissioners formerly called 'The Copyhold Inclosure and Tithe Commissioners.' By s. 26 of that Act, a certificate of these Commissioners that an 'improvement' within that Act has been effected is, in the absence of an Order of the Court, an authority to trustees to pay for the improvement out of 'capital money,' and by s. 28 a tenant for life must maintain and repair an 'improvement' at his own expense during such period, if any, as the Commissioners by certificate in any case prescribe.
All powers and duties of the Land Commissioners were transferred to the Board of Agriculture by the (English) Board of Agriculture Act, 1889 (52 & 53 Vict. c. 30).
