Award of Enfranchisement.
|
X. After the Valuation has been made, or upon the Receipt of the Agreement of the Parties, the Commissioners, having made such Inquiries concerning the Circumstances of the Case as to them shall seem fit, and having duly considered the Applications made to them by the Parties, may frame an Award of Enfranchisement in the Terms of the Valuation, and in such Form as they shall provide, and may confirm the same; and such confirmed Award shall have the same Force and Validity for all Purposes of Enfranchisement or otherwise as a Deed of Enfranchisement now has under the Provisions of the Copyhold Acts, or would have had under any Provision of the Copyhold Acts which is by this Act repealed; and for all Purposes of declaring the Amount, Nature, and Particulars of the Compensation, and for attaching thereto the Remedies provided by the Copyhold Acts, the said confirmed Award shall have the same Force and Validity as an Award made by Valuers or an Umpire under the Provisions of the Copyhold Acts: Provided nevertheless, that nothing herein contained shall affect the Right of the Steward for the Time being of any Manor to receive such Sum of Money by way of Compensation or otherwise as he would have been entitled to if such Enfranchisement had been effected by a Deed of Enfranchisement under the Provisions of the Copy hold Acts or any of them: Provided also, that the Commissioners shall, Fourteen clear Days before Confirmation of any such Award, serve a Copy of the same in the Form in which it is proposed to be confirmed upon the Steward of the Manor of which the Lands to be enfranchised are held.
