South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts31—Power to distrain corn and hay
Any landlord or his agent may distrain any sheaves of corn, or corn loose, or
in the straw, or hay lying on the ground, or being in any barn, granary,
hovel, stock, or rick, or otherwise upon any part of the land subject to the
rent, and may deal therewith as he might have dealt with any other goods
distrained for rent, except that corn or hay so distrained shall not be
removed by the landlord or his agent out of the place where it was seized, if
such removal would depreciate its value, but shall be kept there (as
impounded) until it is replevied or sold.
