Excerpt from The Country Gentleman's Magazine, 1871, Vol. 6 And, first, as to the law of preference. It is manifest that when, as the law stands at present, the landlord has priority over other creditors for rent, a tenant with insufficient capital to develop fully the productive power of his farm is, in the eyes of many landlords, an equally eligible tenant with a man of ample capital, more especially if, as is generally the case, he be willing to pay a higher rent than a better class of tenant provided only that the value of the tenant's farming stock be sufficient, in case of an emergency, to secure the full payment of the rent to the landlord. This unsatisfactory state of the law unfairly increases the competi tion for the occupation of land, and is often productive of great mischief in decreasing the fertility and cleanliness, and reducing the pro ductive power of the soil; and I think that if landlords were obliged to share the assets of insolvent tenants equally with other creditors, they would naturally become more anxious to find tenants of good standing and with suffi cient capital, the speedy consequence of which would be a fuller development of the productive capabilities of the soil, owing to the introduction of the larger capital of the improved class of tenants.
