6. After the passing of this Act it shall not be lawful for the lord of any manor to make grants of land not previously of copyhold tenure to any person to hold by copy of court roll, or by any tenure of a customary nature, without the previous consent of the Land Commissioners, who in giving or withholding their consent shall have regard to the same considerations as are to be taken into account by them on giving or withholding their consent to any inclosure of common lands; and whenever any such grant has been lawfully made the land therein comprised shall cease to be of copyhold tenure, and shall be vested in the grantee thereof to hold for the interest granted as in free and common socage.
