§.4. Symptoms
6 Mar 1802
6 Comm. Obj.
In this example You Lordship sees how it
is, and by what sort of husbandry an object
in itself so circumstanti circumscribed—an object
worth a bare £12,000, Government price—
might may have been converted into a most
productive—and in short into a perfectly an inexhaustible
mine—a very widow's cruize——of the pretious
oil of compliment and accommodation.
The sacrifice of the money could indeed be made
but once; and no more than one person could
be obliged gratified by it. But the sacrifice of the establishment
is that happy sort of sacrifice that
may have could be repeated toties quoties—and
every time without expence: a compliment that
without risk or difficulty, might be placed successfully
to the account of the respective merits and respectabilities
of any as many number of individuals
(friends of government) who by their humours or interests,
real or supposed, may have been place in
circumstances to receive a gratification from it.
It is a case that might afford an answer
to a sort of a law a half legal law half
political vebus. What is that property estate, that
may be mortgaged and mortgaged—over and over
again—any number of times over—without any
injury to its value—or any deceit, other than
that of a perfectly agreable and innocent nature,
put upon the several and respective mortgages?
