Personally I do not think it probable that, if the Ordinance become law, the farmer will carry out his threat of throwing up the farm, and I am further of opinion that if he does, the Court of law will probably, on a proper application made in that behalf, decree the forfeiture of the security which he has given for the due fulfilment of his contract. At the same time, it cannot be said that the point is absolutely free from doubt.
