33. Any lord may act on his own behalf, or may appoint an agent other than his steward to act for him; but unless and until he has given written notice to the tenant and the Commissioners respectively that he intends to act for himself, or that he has appointed the person specified in the notice to act for him, the tenant and the Commissioners respectively may treat his steward as his agent for receipt of notices, making of agreements, and all other matters relating to enfranchisement, and in all matters of procedure the steward shall be deemed to represent the lord; except that no steward shall, without special authority, have power to consent on behalf of the lord to dealings with the rights comprised in section forty-eight of the Copyhold Act, 1852, as herein amended.
