A lot of pe The object of the competition was a lot portion
of public esteem, the esteem that would attach attend to be earned by the upon expectation
of removing lessening the load of abuse by under which the
administration of justice in Scotland lies oppressed.

It was by Your Lordship that the Auction room was
opened, and the lot put up. In Your Lordship I view behold
the first bidder. But Unfortunately being prevented from
by other business of still superior importance and more
pressing necessity, prevented from attending in person, Your
Lordship found yourself under the necessity of giving the
commission to an agent whose experience in this line
of business presented a prospect afforded a promise of fa skillful as well
as faithful service. Upon </del> A suspicion having
arisen upon examination it was found appeared that the case
in which he was to have made his payment was
base and counterfeit. Low as it is The price offered on the other
side of the Table, is the best price. But
my Lord, notwithstanding what I have I humbly hope Your Lordship will not
abandon the rom altogether. Your Lordship will not
suffer the lot to be knocked down at so low a price.
To my humble conception Your Lordship has no inconsiderable
share of reputation at stake upon the issue. When At
the first opening, want of time of the necessary time, as it was formed was the real
cause reason so it formed a legitimate excuse for giving the
commission to inferior and as the result has proved seems to have proved, unfaithful
hands. At present The cause being gone having ceased to exist remain done , so has the excuse.
