Memorial

nuisance and that of so baneful a nature, as to render
houses an uninhabitable at more than a mile's distance?
If opposition would otherwise have been wanting,
the decision itself would be enough to make one:
it would be an advertisement for opponents. Had
your Memorialist courage for the pursuit, what a
task would he have to go through? What up-hill
work! What a labyrinth of negotiations! — of negotiations
of which any person at a mile's distance
might cut the threat! Indeed, my Lords, your
Memorialist has no such courage: if driven from
this his first and his last hold, nothing remains
for him but to make his bow: if the oak will not
bear him, he must submitt to his fate: it would
be lost labour to catch at straws.

It is easy, it is natural, and, on the part of
gentlemen who conceive themselves aggrieved by the
choice, it is may be sufficient, to say, the world is wide
enough, you will find places enough: go elsewhere,
in short any where but here. And if they may
so, so may they say without enquiry: for nothing
calls upon them in enquire. But if your Memorialist
is to be believed, who has made enquiry
and who has been months in a making it, there is no
such device. He can't go elsewhere: there is no
elsewhere in the case.
