excepted from the benefits of this act are those who lost 5 pounds

No goods or chattels on lands or tenements which are leased for
life or lives or term of years or at will or otherwise "shall be
liable to be taken by virtue of any Execution on any pretence
whatsoever unless the party at whose suit the said Execution is
sued out shall before the removal of such goods from off the said
premises by virtue of such Execution or Extent pay to the
landlord" all money due as rent. If the lessee fraudulently or
clandestinely conveys or carries off his goods or chattels with
intent to deprive the landlord or lessor from distraining the same
for arrears of such rent, the lessor or landlord may, within five
days, seize such goods and chattels as a distress for the arrears
of rent and may sell them as if actually distrained on the
premises.
Every person under 21 and every woman-covert who is entitled by
descent or will to be admitted tenants of any copyhold lands or
hereditaments may be ordered to appear by a guardian or attorney
to be compelled to be so admitted and to pay such fines as are
owing by the lands. If one is so admitted, but does not pay, the
lord may enter the lands and receive its rents (but not sell
timber) until the fine and costs are satisfied, after which the
land is to be given back and may not be forfeited to the lord.
