§.1 Purchase of Ld Salisbury's on the proposal of Mr Long
pass into a law. When the time came for
carrying this disposition into intention into effect, a discovery
was made that it was a sort of a business that would be attended with
trouble: which discovery was communicated to
me by Mr Long, as the sole but
sufficient reason for receding from the
engagement taken by such notices.⊞ ⊞ Thus then an Honourable Member had had the goodness to offer himself to me as ready and willing to take upon himself then this trouble. He on that was not used to business, and a known friend to Government. Mention of these offers The relief, thus offered, was of course mentioned to the Honourable Secretary:– he who of course would not hear of it. When I In one

incidents of other histories, though some may be not unworthy of attention
at a proper season, I will not now attempt
to trespass upon your Lordships time.
Things were in this state, when one day, one or not many
just after the close of that days after the 11th of December that same year (1798) Mr Long

of the Honourable Secretary with a degree of facility the more acceptable in

in possession of an Agent Estate contiguous to the spot which
had so lately been found inaccessible: – the It was the estate of the Marquis
of Salisbury at Milbank: – the estate, its a portion
of which I had already spoken of to him as a
necessary appendage to Tothill Fields. On G I
should turn not only that spot (53 Acres more or less) but
as much more contiguous land, as could be purchased
without too much trouble under the existing
Act (34 G. 3. c. 84) not exceeding the am quantity
