Most former electors and every leaseholder and every copyholder were now excluded.
The copyholder and leaseholder were distinguished from the mere tenant-at-will, whose only right was to gather his growing crop when his landlord decided to terminate his tenancy.
It's often seemed cruel to me when the leaseholder always has to pay the same rent, whether or no.
Come, take your glass and drink health to Uli, and promise him that you'll be the wife of the leaseholder of Slough Farm.
Many examples of this type of small leaseholder come from the west of England.
The remedy would be to empower a leaseholder to demand from the ground landlord that the land shall be transferred to him upon payment of its fair value, as appraised by some public tribunal.
Another fashion in which grievous injustice to the leaseholder can be done is frequently illustrated.
The grievance is this--that the present system of leases for lives or for a term of years causes frequent loss to the leaseholder and much injury to the community, benefiting only the owner of the soil.
