10 Case relative to the Tothill Fields Bill.

as due on the footing of a Compliment. No decided consent
has been received from that quarter; but such a tendency at
least to consent has been manifested, that it is in consequence
of an intimation given, at a Chapter meeting, by the Dean
in the name of the Chapter, that the Clause empowering the
Treasury to accept of a long lease instead of the fee has been

long time past and still continues to be (as already intimated)
a subject of encroachment and peculation. In a Map, produced
in the Chapter at a meeting held on the occasion of the present
Plan, the number of Acres contained in what was then called
