43. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Copyhold Acts, the lord and tenant may at any time after notice of enfranchisement shall have been delivered agree in writing that the Commissioners shall determine the compensation to be paid for enfranchisement. And the Commissioners shall, upon receipt of such agreement, take such proceedings and make such inquiries as they may deem necessary to determine such compensation, taking into consideration all such matters as valuers appointed under the Copyhold Acts are bound to take into consideration in making a valuation; and having determined such compensation, the Commissioners shall communicate the result in writing to the lord and tenant, and shall fix a time within which any objection to such determination may be signified to them in writing by the lord or tenant, and forthwith after the period fixed for such objections to be signified shall have expired if there be none, or if there be any then forthwith after the Commissioners shall have considered and disposed of such objections and made such alterations, if any, as they shall see fit, they shall make their award of enfranchisement in like manner as if the compensation had been ascertained by valuers under the Copyhold Acts.
