But, supposing for argument an engagement
to that effect were was really entered into after all and indisputably
made take place – What follows? – how then stands the case?

But, supposing for argument sake, it had
on that occasion, been the decided intention of Ministers to put
a negative on the existing sport; and that intention ever
so explicit decided, and ever to explicitly declared – What follows? – that, by one of
those inadvertencies which to which men in high office,
are and overwhelmed with as the gentlemen in question then were with business of a still more important
business are nature, are so much exposed, two engagements,
inconsistent with each other, have been⊞ ⊞ for want of a recollection of those circumstances and incidents from whence the inconsistency results, been unawares
entered into. In such case, what says justice?
that the prior engagement shall stand; that
the posterior engagement shall yield to it. The
engagement with your Memorialist was the work
of a twelvemonth: an engagement committed
to writing, and continuing in a state of habitual
and mutual recognition all the time. The engagement
with your Memorialist was the work of
a twelvemonth The engagement with gentlemen who
wished for another choice was the breath of the
moment: if irreconcilable, which of their engagement ought to give way?
