To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
382) : " It is obvious that if the rent were determined by the Court on the above principles, so far frorn representing the market value which a solvent tenant would be willing to pay for a farm, it would "depend more or less upon the skill or in- capacity of the individual tenant, his thriftiness or his extravagance, his health and age, the size of his family, the capacity or incapacity of his children to earn their own living, and a variety of considerations, including the opinion of the Cour...t of the cost of living in ' decent comfort.' Any tenant who, by thrift, or good fortune, or skill, succeeded in making a profit by his farming, would do so at the risk of having his rent raised by the Court at the commence- ment of the next quinquennial period. Any rent arrived at on the above principle would also be fixed on the assumption, which might, and in all probability would be, incorrect, that during the next five years the prices of the produce of the farm, feeding stuffs, manures and labourers' wages would remain un- changed, and that the tenants would always pay, and the labourers always accept, fair wages.
