Doubt whether 10 G. 1. 5, extends to certain tenants for life with remainders:
Such tenants for life with remainders as herein may demise coal mines for such term as herein specified as to coal mines;
so as no fine or consideration, excep rent;
and counter-parts executed, and the rents payable to such as would be intitled to profits of the land.
And such tenants for life with such remainders may demise other mines for 31 years as by 30 G. 1. 5.
