[...] The object with which I have placed this amendment before the House is that in the case of a transfer the tenant ought to take the permission of the landholder. [...] 455 any obstacle in the way of the tenant but what I mean is that with the permission of the landholder every transfer ought to be made because without it it will greatly harm the good relations that exist at present between the landholder and the tenant.
