his men together, £ 2,000 a year: & this leaves
your Memorialist's Brother without the smallest
compensation, either for the loss of his situation abroad,
or for the private establishment at home
which has been sacrificed to this public one. To
take time for shewing unprecedented favour, your
Lordships will never set out with doing so certain,
so heavy, & so irremediable an injustice.
