Memorial

case by individuals, on the ground of neighbourhood? Your
Memorialist believes not: surely none that ever prevailed.

In aggravation of the supposed injury, your Memorialist
has heard the quantity of capital investment in buildings and
other improvements within the circle of the neighbourhood in
question, whatever extent may be meant to be given to that circle
has been estimated at about £200,000. Your Memorialist has
no suspicion of any thing like exaggeration in this estimate: had
he been obliged to guess, he should rather have expected to find
such a sum short of the truth than beyond it. But in speaking
of this value, gentlemen speak of it as if a great part, there
is no saying how great, but a very great part of it would be
destroyed. Here it is that your Memorialist has the mortification
or the satisfaction shall he say, to be obliged to differ with
them. The instances of new prisons are not rare: and it will be
difficult he believes to find a single one in which any such effect
has been produced by such a cause. The damage, if there were
any, would be damnum sine injuria: but not damage even can
he see: so far from it, instead of damage he sees advantage:
and in this opinion, as will be seen presently, he does not stand
alone. The difference, wide as it is, may be tolerably well accounted
for, even without taking into the account the difference in
the affections through the medium of which it may be viewed.
The nature of his intended establishment being fully known to
himself, and altogether unknown to those gentlemen, it is the
less wonder, if from such difference in point of data, a difference
of conclusion should arise.

Another thing he knows is that it would be a real affliction
to him to find these his expectations disfulfilled by the event
