Though in this way the public may be said to pay twice
over for the same land, yet by this arrangement it will
not fail to have derived, though the instrumentality of Mr Bentham
very considerable advantage.

1. The last price it will have at present to pay will be neither more nor
less than what it would have had to pay had no such
person ever existed.

2. But in point of dispatch there is no saying how many
months – months is not the word – how many years it
will have said. From a present of saved. In From the history of this past
of the business, as delivered in the Reports of divers Committees
(the last of them the 28th Report of the Finance Committee
in which see Mr Bentham's Examination) – it is only from
this source that any tolerably adequate idea of the extreme difficulty
and delay by which this part of the business has been
obstructed can be formed.

At this time of day it would be in vain to look for any
other spot so near to all seats and sources of inspection other spot that could of equal extent which could at anything like the price, be obtained at so small a distance from
the most official seats and sources of inspection, and superintendence, at
anything like the price and paramount superintendence.

True it is, that if, in the interval between October
1799 and the present time, the price should, as expected,
be found to have experienced more or less encrease, at
least in its nominal amount, in that case, by were it to
taking at ut be taken at no more than £12,000 which was the price paid for it when, as above, put into Mr
Bent Bentham's hands, as above, the difference, be it what it may
would to the public be so much saved. But in that case the saving
would be so much gain made at the expence of the suffering
individual: and whether to the public, by whose on whose account
he will, at the best, have been subjected to so much unmerited
and uncompensated suffering, this can justly be regarded
as a fit source of advantage, may be left to be imagined
any one to pronounce.
