XXXI. In every Case in which the Lord shall require and compel an Enfranchisement under this Act, where such Lord shall be an Ecclesiastical Corporation or a Corporation sole not having an absolute Power of Sale, or shall have only a limited Interest in the Manor or be a Trustee thereof, the Expenses of the Proceedings for effecting such Enfranchisement, and all Expenses which in the Judgment of the said Commissioners may be incidental thereto, whether for the Proof of Title, the Production of Documents, Expenses of Witnesses, or otherwise, (the Amount of such Expenses being subject to the Approval and Certificate of the said Commissioners as herein-before is mentioned,) shall be paid out of the First Monies to be received for any Enfranchisement to be effected under this Act, when the Consideration for such Enfranchisement shall be a gross Sum of Money; and in Cases where such Consideration shall not be a gross Sum of Money, then the said Expenses shall be charged, together with Interest for the same, at the Rate of not exceeding Four Pounds per Centum per Annum, on the said Manor or other Lands settled or hold therewith, in such Manner as to the said Commissioners may seem fit and proper.
