XXXII. In every Case in which the Tenant shall require and compel an Enfranchisement under this Act, where such Tenant shall have only a limited Interest in the Lands enfranchised, or be a Trustee thereof, he shall be entitled to charge 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 of the said Commissioners as herein-before is mentioned,) on the Lands enfranchised, and such Expenses, and also the Consideration Money for such Enfranchisement, whenever such Consideration shall be a gross Sum of Money, may, by a simple Entry on the Court Rolls of the Manor, and for which Entry the Steward shall only charge such a Sum as the said Commissioners shall direct, be charged, together with Interest for the same at the Rate of not exceeding Four Pounds per Centum per Annum, on the Lands enfranchised, in such Manner as to the said Commissioners shall seem fit and proper: Provided always, that any gross Sum or Rentcharge constituting the Consideration for any such Enfranchisement shall have Priority over any Sum so charged for Expenses.
