Address from the Claimant to the Gentleman in the Arbitration Arbitrators

Tomorrow, if I am not b misinformed, being the
last day on which any thing can be done, the criticalness of my
situation calls upon me, to submitt to you without reserve, whatsoever
point considerations afford any the least promise of facilitating the
pronouncing a decision on my case.

1. £70,000 I understand was the sum which, in consequence pursuance
of the hints thrown out in the course of the business, and
the letter written to him on the part of the Crown by[+] [+] under the direction
of Mr Secretary
Wharton by Mr Hobhouse, my Solicitor stated
me as being willi content to accept in case of a compromise
Therefore as to any As to any thing above this sum they believe the Arbitrators
there can be no sum for disagreement Under the circumstance, as to any thing above that sum
between the two Arbitrator and Arbitrator there can be no room.
for difference.

2. Supposing that one of the Arbitrators to that sum having proposed that
or a less sum, another the other should propose one still
less, and abide to decline advancing beyond above any higher that proposal is
then what I would timorously request the less sum in that case my humble request, if there be willing expression in it, is —
that such less sum may be stated to me, that I may have the option of accepting it,
rather than risk any of the ulterior chances. Voliube fit injuria.
At Mr Hare's Chambers in Lincolns Inn
I will hold myself in readiness to receive In relation to this matter
I will shall hold myself in readiness at Mr Hare's Chambers to receive their
command.

Should this not be deemed proper I would then entreat
as my last resource, that [+] [+] (the terms of the Act
admitting it) the appointment of an Umpire
may be made. Should the such appointment not take place
judging from what I have heard I should look upon such my
fate as somewhat worse than if it were awarded to me. For
then what would remain to me would be, to solicit next suppose, to try for a new
suit next and that perhaps a private one against wind and
tide: whereupon any provisional Annuity would I fear be stopped
and then the business would close, and the sum of my fortune
be compleated, with nothing for and instead of compensation with nothing for consolation a sort of
against irresistible impregnable and inexorable power for the remainder of my
life.

I would beg it to be considered, what my situation will be,
and what prospect will remain to be of obtaining any part
of that compens liberal compensation which Parliament has declared
it to be just and reasonable that I should receive.
