66. Where it appears to the Lord Chancellor intrusted as aforesaid to be for the lunatic’s benefit, he may order that the whole or any part of any moneys expended or to be expended under his order for the permanent improvement, security, or advantage of the land of the lunatic, or of any particular part thereof, shall, with interest, be a charge upon and be raiseable out of the lunatic’s estate and interest in the land or such particular part thereof, as aforesaid, but so that no right of sale or foreclosure during the lifetime of the lunatic be given or acquired under or by virtue of the charge; and the interest shall be kept down during the lunatic’s lifetime, out of the income of his general estate, as far as the same shall be sufficient to bear it; and the committee of the estate may and shall, in the name and on behalf of the lunatic, execute and do all such conveyances and things for effectuating this present provision as the Lord Chancellor intrusted as aforesaid shall order; and such charge may be made either to some person advancing the money, or, if the money is paid out of the lunatic’s general property, to some person as a trustee for him, as part of his personal estate.
