Art. 20. 4
4
In regard to justice, by the very terms of creation
the public has always reserved to itself the unrestricted
right of paying off these Annuities: paying them off
in any proportions, in masses however chosen, selected to that purpose and
at any time. The expectations of the individuals concerned
have of conveyance or are at handto be considered
as having conformed squared themselves all along to by the unrestricted exercise
of that right: and be this as it may the feelings
of the individual will without any exception have been
governed and determined by his expectations.
In this, as in other cases of Debtor and Creditor,
no notice, without any express stipulation, no
notice is necessary as of common right, to entitle
the Debtor to liberate himself by the paying of from the Debt. No
No Debtor can alledge it as matter of complaint
in the case of justice at least, that he should be paid
off earlier than another. Not even were he to be
paid off later, were the supposing first to be consistent
with the tenor of the agreement: much less, that he
should be paid off earlier.
