Receipts for rates to be taken in payment of rent, &c.
|
79. In all cases the receipt for poor rate in respect of any property shall be accepted by every person entitled to receive rent in respect of the same property or tithe arising therefrom in lieu of such a sum of money and in full consideration of such portion of rent or tithe as the person tendering such receipt is hereby entitled to deduct from such rent or tithe by reason of his payment of the rate for which such receipt shall be given: Provided always, that no deduction on account of any payment of rate under this Act shall be held to be a discharge of any portion of any gale or quarterly or other payment of rent due from the person entitled to make such deduction, so as to prejudice the right of any landlord to recover the possession of any hereditaments by ejectment for nonpayment of the rent thereof in any case where the remaining portion of such gale shall be unpaid, but that it shall and may be lawful for such landlord to proceed for the recovery of such hereditaments by ejectment as effectually as if the entire gale or quarterly or other payment of rent out of which such deduction is hereby allowed had remained wholly due and unpaid: Provided also, that no deduction shall be made from any rent-charge granted by way of jointure, or any other rent-charge or annuity granted, limited, or devised for a life or lives in being only, or for years determinable on a life or lives in being.
