Panopticon Bill Land 2
Payment to be made to the
Accountant General —

Art. 2. And Whereas, by reason of such conjunction of interest as aforesaid
between the said Archbishop in the right of his See and the said Earl, the said intended
purchaser might be unable to ascertain in what proportions the said purchase-money ought to be
paid, And Whereas it may be matter of doubt as between the said Proprietors how the
same ought to be applied, Be it enacted that payment made by the said intended
Purchaser to the Accountant General of the High Court of Chancery shall be good payment, and
the said Accountant General is hereby required to receive, and give a proper receipt or proper
receipts for the same, and the same to keep or dispose of according to the course of the Court, for
the use of the parties interested, subject to the direction of the said Court.

3
Court of Chancery to provide for
the reinvestment of the money in the
purchase of Land, and for the
intermediate investment of it in the
funds —

Art. 3. The said Court shall, on the Petition of any party interested, take such Order as
Equity shall require, as well for the definitive re-investment of the said sum in the purchase of other
Lands or Tenements, to the same or other equally just and more beneficial uses, as for the provisional
investment of the said sum in the purchase of Government Securities untill a proper purchase or
proper purchases of Lands & Tenements can be made, and for the apportionment of the
Dividends on such securities, as between the parties interested.

4
Supplemental Purchase money
to be assessed by a Jury —

Art. 4. And Whereas by reason of a difference between the two periods in respect
of the value of ready money as compared with Land, it may chance that the said sum of £6600,
although a sufficient price for the time when the same was assessed, would want more or less of
being so at the time when the same money may come to be paid under this present Act, inasmuch
that when reinvested in the purchase of Lands or other Tenements, it would not produce Lands or
Tenements of the same value or annual rent as if it had been paid in immediately upon the finding
of the said Verdict, whereby, in order that the said Proprietors may be put into the same plight
as they would have been in had the said former purchase been compleated at the time when the
same might in pursuance of the said Verdict have been compleated, Justice may require that a
farther sum be paid in the nature of a supplemental price Be it Enacted that upon
application made out of Court and in a summary way by or on behalf of any party interested any
one Judge of the Court of King's Bench shall issue to the Sheriff of the County of Surry a
Precept in the nature of a Writ of Enquiry of Damages commanding him by the Verdict
of a Jury to enquire into and assess the sum proper to be paid as and for such supplemental
price.

5
Instructions as to the striking
of the Jury —

Art. 5. For the better securing the impartiality and reputation of impartiality of such
Verdict, and for the ease of the conscience of the Jurors, the Sheriff is hereby directed and required
to avoid putting upon the Pannel any such persons as from his own knowledge or otherwise may
appear to him, either by reason of tenancy or vicinity of abode or otherwise, liable to stand affected otherwise
than indifferently, toward any of the said parties interested, or towards the institution of the said
intended Establishment.

Art. 6
