21. Where in the course of an enfranchisement under the Copyhold Acts it is found that a manor, or the lord’s estate and interest in any land belonging thereto, which may be the subject of enfranchisement is subject to the payment of a fee-farm rent or to any other charge, the Commissioners may, upon the application of the person for the time being bound to make such payment or, defray such charge, by order under their seal, direct that the fee-farm rent or charge respectively shall be a charge upon any freehold lands specified in the order, being of adequate value and held under the same title as the said manor or land, or upon any adequate amount of Government stocks or funds to be transferred into Court by the direction of the Commissioners in manner prescribed by the High Court Funds Rules, or into the names of trustees appointed by the Commissioners; and upon the sealing of such order the said manor and land shall be freed and for ever discharged from such payment or charge; and such payment or charge shall be and continue a charge upon the land or funds specified in the order of the Commissioners, and, so far as the nature of the case will admit, there shall be and are hereby attached thereto the like remedies for the recovery thereof as against the land or funds subject thereto, as might have been had as against the manor or land belonging thereto in respect of the original charge.
