§.9. (7) + 83
no more than £30,000, as above. By my means, here is land, worth
£30,000, obtained by the public for 12,000£ : amount of saving, £18,000.

But, in another view it may be said - tho' the sum paid was
no more than £12,000, yet, having been paid so long ago, viz in December
1799 = 13 1/4 years ago - the interest, reckoning from that time to the
present - interest say at 5 per cent - is so much more paid by the public -
so much more to be added to the price. Between these two modes of computation
my Arbitrators will have to decide, - if the question, what it is
which the public have profited through by my means, and at the expence
of a course of disappointment and vexation occupying the last 20 years
of a life of 65, be looked upon as having, to this purpose, any claim to their
regard.

All idea, of merit on my part, being now so completely out
of the question, less difficulty may perhaps be found in setting down
what may appear due on account of service on this, than on either
of those other grounds.

2. Much higher of course is the mark, which the amount
of the saving will be to be set at, if so it be, that, at the time in question
the Land be considered as actually capable, or within a near prospect
of being (allowance made it is to be hoped for the present it is to be hoped temporary distress,
and consequent glut of houses) capable of being let on building leases.
Tothil fields - the waste which all along runs paralel to it - is already
(I have been told) (for as to seeing it with my own eyes, nothing but
absolute necessity will ever draw me to a spot so fertile in painful
recollections) is already (I have been told) in that state. But, for any
such purpose, the value of that waste must, I should think, be
very inferior in comparison of the Estate in question - viz. the
Millbank Salisbury Estate. For half a mile in length, pretty exactly,
it fronts the river; and. throughout all that length, it lies interposed
between the river and Tothill Fields.
