In no case where land is to be bought for public
use, does the law know any thing of neighbourhoods
take any care or any such account of neighbourhoods
it takes care, anxious and most laudable care of
proprietors and occupiers: but there it stops and takes does
no such care of nothing at all for neighbourhoods.

Last Farthest of all would does it be from manifesting any such
care in the instance of persons. A prison a nuisance? –
then so is a Court of Justice. A prison
in a desert? No such phenomenon thing was ever heard or
thought of. To seat a prison in a desert, would be to make it a Bastille. A prison not to be built on to be repelled from a country
place spot, because the country is too popularity on account of the populousness of the spot for it?
– no prison was ever built has then ever been hitherto built but in a town.
Scarce th a session without an Act, for this and for such a purpose.
In any instance whatever was there were till now in opposition ever made to any such establishment by individuals in such a case by individuals on the ground
of neighbourhood? Your Memorialist believes not:
surely none that ever prevailed.
