265 Trustee to recover rents of the lands of a bankrupt of which the trustee has power to make disposition
The rents and profits of any land of which a trustee aforesaid after any such order as aforesaid has power to make disposition under this Part shall, in the meantime and until such disposition is made or until it is ascertained that such disposition is not required for the benefit of the creditors of the bankrupt be received by the trustee for the benefit of his creditors. And the trustee may proceed by action for the recovery of such rents and profits. And such trustee and his bailiffs agents and servants shall also have all such and the same remedies powers privileges and advantages of pleading avowing and making cognisance, and be entitled to the same costs and damages and the same remedies for the recovery thereof, as a landlord his bailiffs agents and servants is or are now or hereafter may be by law entitled to have when rent is in arrear; and such trustee shall also have the same power and authority of enforcing the observance of all covenants conditions and agreements in respect of the land of which the trustee aforesaid has the power of disposition under this Part and in respect of the rents and profits thereof, and of entry into and upon the same land for the non-observance of any such covenant condition and agreement, and of expelling and removing therefrom the tenants or other occupiers thereof and thereby determining and putting an end to the estate of the persons who have not observed such covenants conditions and agreements, as the bankrupt would have had in case he had not become bankrupt.

266 Application of previous clauses to lands to be sold where the purchase money is subject to be invested in the purchase of lands to be entailed
Lands to be sold whether freehold or leasehold, where the money arising from the sale thereof is subject to be invested in the purchase of lands to be settled so that any person if the lands were purchased would have an estate tail therein, and also money subject to be invested in the purchase of lands to be settled so that any person if the lands were purchased would have an estate tail therein, shall for all the purposes of this Act be treated as the lands to be purchased; and be considered subject to the same estates as the land to be purchased would if purchased have been actually subject to. And this Part so far as circumstances will admit shall apply to such lands in the same manner as if the lands to be purchased with the money to arise from the sale thereof were directed to be freehold and were actually purchased and settled; and shall, in the case of money subject to be invested in the purchase of land to be so settled as aforesaid, apply to such money in the same manner as if such money were directed to be laid out in the purchase of freehold lands and such lands were actually purchased and settled. Save and except that in every case where under this section a disposition is to be made of leasehold lands for years absolute or determinable so circumstanced as aforesaid or of money so circumstanced as aforesaid, such leasehold lands or money shall, as to the person in whose favour or for whose benefit the disposition is to be made, be treated as personal estate; and (except in case of bankruptcy) the assurance by which the disposition of such leasehold lands or money is effected shall be an assignment by deed, which shall have no operation under this Part unless acknowledged within six months after the execution thereof; and in case of bankruptcy the disposition of such leasehold lands or money shall be made by the trustee aforesaid as the case may be.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the effect of section two hundred and forty-nine of this Act.
