Tothill Fields. Plan of Division with Observations

Considerations
in behalf on the above plan —

1. The opportunity, which now happens to
present itself, affords the only prospect, which
the Dean and Chapter seem to have before them,
of deriving any sort of benefit from the Waste
in question, unless, it be by the event of a Suit
in chancery, a contention which, under a continued
series of provocations, they have had
the wisdom & temper to keep clear of for a
long train of years, & the issue of which, how
favourable soever, could not, according to the
ordinary course of such proceedings, be reasonably
expected to have taken place, before the
greater part of the reverend body would, according,
to the common calculations of the probabilities of
life, be in their graves —

The difference being so great between the notions
entertained on the subject of the rights in question,
on the part of the Dean & Chapter on the one
hand, & on the part of the Parish or Parishes on
the other, it seems morally certain, that any plan
which could be formed by the Dean & Chapter, for
the improvement of the whole of the Waste, or any
part of it, would be opposed in Parliament by
the Parish or Parishes: in which case Parliament
could not, in the common course of proceeding,
or even in common justice, accede to an application
for that purpose, till the repugnant claims
had received a determination in course of Law —

On the same account, it seems equally improbable,
that any application for a similar
purpose should originate with the Parish or Parishes
