And whereas by the said recited Act, new Leases to be granted upon the Surrender of any subsisting Lease are limited to the said Term of Years as was granted by such surrendered Lease; and it may be doubtful in Cafes wherein a Power is given by the said recited Act, to renew any Lease or Grant, whether if the subsisting Lease be surrendered the same can be renewed for a longer Term than was granted by such surrendered Lease ; be it therefore enacted and declared, That in ail Cafes in which any Lease or Grant of any Lands, Houses, Tenements, or Hereditaments may be renewed under the said recited Act or this Act, it shall be lawful to make any new Lease or Grant of such Premises upon the Surrender thereof, for such Term and upon the same Conditions as if the same had been renewed under the Provisions of the said recited Act or this Act, and had not been first surrendered.
