acta.(b)

Note

(b) Examples. 1. Facilitating the conversion of intercommunity of occupation of

land into separate ownership.

2. Abolition or modification of those laws by which land is vested inalienably

in a line of natural successors, how much soever, by impoverishment, disabled

from causing increase, or even presenting decrease, in the value of its produce.

3. Abolition or modification of laws, which give the like perpetuity, to

obligations attached to property in land, in the case where those obligations

are attended with greater burthen, (viz. in the way of obstruction of increase)

to the party on whom they are imposed, than profit to the party in whose favour

they were imposed. Such is the case with many of the obligations termed (with

reference to the party favoured by them) feudal rights.

4. Gradual abolition and intermediate modification of those personal obligations

which come under the head of Slavery.
