the particular spot intended for the Building, which in
effect only and not in appearance would be a prison, the
distance would not be so little by at least 1/4 of a mile more.
So much for unpleasant views. No part of the land is,

not without going out of their way, set foot on any of the
four Roads by which the spot in question is surrounded.
So much for bad company.

by correspondence with the Police. Knowing they can
not get admittance without going through the test, they
will hardly frequent the spot, merely to put themselves
in the way of danger.
