exist: a spot as convenient & proper the Act supposes
may possibly be found: but of a spot still
more convenient & proper it does not so much as
admitt of the existence.

What the Act requires of your Lordships is to do
one or other of two things, & that as soon as conveniently
may be. The one your Lordships are sure you
can do, & that with the most perfect convenience, the
instant this Memorial shall have been read; the
other your Lordships can not be sure that you can
do at all: you are pretty sure that you can not do
it at all: you have great reason to apprehend, that
if you could do it all, you could not do it for
years, — nobody can say how many years. — Can
your Lordships hesitate?

Another thing your Lordships may be perfectly sure
of is the certain hardship to say no more and that
altogether irremediable which will be running on while
your Lordships are looking out in expectation of an
act which it is in nobody's power to perform. While
your Lordships sit waiting, the fortune of your Memorialist,
as your Lordships have seen, is consuming,
inevitably consuming, till sooner or later, but long before
any land has been put into his hands, his
means of making use of it are gone.
