making appointment of your Memorialist in quality
of feoffee to treat for it. For were the prayer of
your Memorialist in this behalf to be complied
with this very day, in no event could any prejudice
result to any body. Till the money be paid in to
the use of the proprietors, no land can be taken
possession of: so that to the instant of your Memorialist's
receiving the money at the Exchequer, your
Lordships would remain Masters of the choice. If,
on the other hand, after all sources of delay had been
exhausted, your Lordships should see reason to confirm
the choice, then no sooner had your Lordships
recognized the necessity of such decision, than
you would see the insufficiency of it to the purposes
of Justice. A delay, no one can say to what amount,
would have taken place in regard to a measure,
which ought to have been taken immediately: an
injury would thereby be seen to have been inflicted
for which no compensation can be made.

One consideration is yet behind, which, if your
Memorialist could apprehend that after what has
been submitted to your Lordships your Lordships
could refuse, or (what would soon come to the same
thing) defer compliance with this his humble application,
would at least be sufficient to render him
confident
