Upon such possession being obtained it shall be lawful for the company having made such demise to determine the lease (if any) previously subsisting, and the same shall accordingly be utterly void, except as to the remedies of the lessors for payment of the rent due, or in respect of any unperformed or broken obligations or conditions on the lessee’s part, all which remedies shall remain in full force; and in every such case, either during such proceedings or on the termination thereof, the company may again let the tolls to the same or any other person, or cause them to be collected in the same manner as if no such former lease had been made relative thereto.
