Fee-farm rent
Fee-farm rent, where an estate in fee is granted in perpetuity, subject to a rent in fee for so much as it is reasonably worth, not being less than one-fourth of the value of the lands at the time of its reservation; and such rent appears to be called fee-farm, because a grant of land reserving so considerable a rent is indeed only letting lands to farm in fee-simple, instead of the usual method of life or years, Steph. Com., 13th Edn. At p. 480. If the rent be in arrear for two years the feoffor or his heirs may have an action to recover the lands as his demesnes. Cowel's Law Dict., citing Britton, cap. 66, num. 4. Formerly it was said that these rents could not be distrained for, but the (English) Landlord and Tenant Act, 1730 (4 Geo. 2, c. 28), s. 5, allowed distress, impounding and sale for the rents if the rents had been paid for three years. for the remedies in case of non-payment of these rents if created after 1881, see s. 121, (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, and for relie...

Agriculture
Agriculture, the term 'agriculture' has been defined in various dictionaries both in the narrow sense and in the wider sense. In the narrow sense agriculture is cultivation of the field. In the wider sense it comprises all activities in relation to land including horticulture, forestry, breeding and rearing of livestock, dairying, butter and cheese-making, husbandry, etc. Whether the narrower or the wider sense of the term 'agriculture' should be adopted in a particular case depends not only upon the provisions of the various statutes in which the same occurs but also upon the facts and circumstances of each case, Maheshwari Seed Farm v. T.N. Electricity Board, (2004) 4 SCC 705 (711): AIR 2004 SC 2341.Agriculture includes horticulture, fruit growing, seed growing, dairy farming and livestock breeding and keeping, the use of land as grazing land, meadow land, market gardens and nursery grounds, and the use of land for woodlands where that use is ancillary to the framing of land for othe...

Allotments
Allotments. Many (English) Acts (see chit. Stat., tit. 'Allotments') have been passed authorizing parish officers to let out to poor persons small quantities of parish land or land originally allotted under inclosure Acts for the benefit of the poor. The Small Holdings and Allotments Act, 1908 (Part II.), empowers parish, urban, borough or county councils to provide plots of land for persons belonging to the labouring population of the locality to cultivate as farms or gardens. Land for allotments may be acquired compulsorily by the above bodies (ss. 12 and 27, Land Settlement (Facilities) Act, 1919) (as amended by the 1925 Act, s. 1). This Act as amended by the Allotments Act, 1922, necessitates a six months' or longer notice to quit (but see s. 30(2) of the Act, 1908, and s. 1 of the Act of 1922), and provides, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, for compensation to an outgoing tenant by the landlord for growing crops, manure, improvement, etc. (s. 47 of the Act of 1908, a...
