re-entry shall operate to release and discharge the lessee's
estate and interest at law and in equity to the demised
premises, anything herein contained to the contrary notwith-
standing; but such re-entry shall not release the lessee from
any rent in arrear, or from liability for any breach of

implied herein on the part of Her Majesty the Queen or the
