Under the present wording of the Bill, he would after
more than 12 years of undisputed possession he would in
the sudden be find himself divested of a pledge of
the continuance of which he had all along had such
good ground for regarding himself as affixed.

He would at the same time thereupon find himself deprived of
the greater part of his means of subsistence and obliged
to give up his House the residence of his family for some
80 years (and the only house provided with in which alone accommodation suited to his
infirmities are to be found) or else begin contracting
debt without having any in his hands any funds for
the discharge of it. All this under a compleat uncertainty without any assurance
whe at what time if at any, anything in the name
of compensation would be put into his hands. Were the
proposal now hereby made rejected, it cannot but be evident
how much the appearance of this uncertainty would be
encreased, the encrease which this uncertainty would remain
is but too evident: and as any relief such remedy as time but the as equals
delay be ever so as in the ordinary course of justice might be might lay as in a similar case between individuals,
I It that in the present case is altogether out of the question
all such relief or any other is out of the question too.

When the compensation comes supposing it to come
would the increasing defalcation thus made, and the amount of the
debt contracted for the of it be added? Neither
of this can be here any determinate prospect or assurance.
