by that decision, and told beforehand, that what ever
might be thought by the neighbourhood, an establishment
of that for that purpose was not deemed by the
12 Judges a grievance nuisance; or at least such a
nuisance, against which a neighbourhood, and in
particular that neighbourhood had any title to be
relieved.

In vain would it be urged, that the number
of persons exposed to its influence was not so great
then as it is become now: and that therefore, although
the nuisance was not, in respect of the number of
persons affect and quantity of property affected by it,
arrived at that time to at such a height as to give them create
a title to relief against itself, it does not follow but that it may
have arrived at such a pitch by this time. – In vain:
since in the first place, it would lie upon the persons
making this distinction to draw the line and way, at
what number of persons so circumstanced, and quantity of property so
expounded invested, the title to relief could, consistently with the
principle of the decision already given, commence; (an attempt evidently
vain and impracticable:) in the next place, there is not
one of those persons, who at the time of laying out
his money, did not see the decision staring him full
in the face. The decision did not turn in the least
upon numbers: it is impossible therefore it should be
affected
