Section 22 For recovery of expences in certain cases.

Every occupier whose lands or goods shall be liable to distress in respect of any expences chargeable under the said recited Acts or either of them, or this Act, against any landlord or lessor of the lands in his occupation, shall be entitled to recover the amount of any such expences which he shall pay, with interest on such payment from time to time at four per centum per annum, and may deduct the same from any rent or renewal fines payable to such landlord or lessor; and where the estate of such landlord or lessor in the lands in respect whereof such payments shall have been made shall be less than an immediate estate of fee simple or fee tail, or subject by settlement to any uses or trusts, he shall be entitled to charge such amount and interest upon such estate in like manner and subject to the same restrictions and provisions as are contined in the said recited Acts or any of them in relation to owners of particular estates, or of estates settled to the same uses and trusts as the lands in respect of which such expences have been incurred respectively.
