Opinion of the Attorney General on paragraph 10 of the letter from the Land Committee dated 18th May, 1850.

The Crown lessee may sub-leases unless prohibited by his lease; this being the case, house property is similarly circumstanced here as in all towns in England. If in any case the Crown be willing to adopt the under-tenant as its immediate lessee it can do so, (supposing there be no liens or encumbrances attaching to the head lease), in its own discretion, by accepting a surrender in writing of the head lease, and granting two leases of the original lot as apportioned by the two tenants, but in doing so or in any other way interfering with the title created by the first lease, the danger will arise of interfering with the securities and remedies of unregistered encumbrancers or creditors having or about to obtain executions.
