could blame me for, & nobody as I thought, refuse

so perfectly contented with the lot which I conceived
had fallen to me should be considered as a

prisoners, for another thousand, or for any number
I can have a prospect of I had asked for another
spot in lieu of the old one, or, as the last set

it large enough for the reception of 300 females
in addition to 600 males.

No, Sir, neither on this occasion or any
other do I give myself out as one who where honour
is not concerned or some satisfaction that money
will not buy, is in the smallest degree less attentive
to personal interest, no not to pecuniary interest
than the passenger who is passing by your
window: or that, accordingly, were damage to happen
to me by the act of government without any
concurrence of mind, I should feel the smallest scruple
of asking, any more than of recieving the fullest
indemnification. But, that, Sir, with submission
is quite different from the present case. Damage,
real Damage is to be created, created by Administration
in the teeth of the decision of the law,
created in order to avoid creating an alledged
damage
