§.10 (1) 85
§.10. To name the proper amount of Compensation -
Money, belongs, under the particular circumstances
of this case - not to the Claimant, but to the Arbitrators.

It may now perhaps be expected, as a thing of course, that
I should name the sum which, under the Act of Parliament, all circumstances
taken into account, I look upon as my due.

This however is a task from which, in so particular
a case as the present, I hope to stand excused. It would not answer
any purpose. The sum, which to my Arbitrators will have seemed the
proper one, not any sum proposed by me as the proper one, is the sum
which they will award. What is the proper one, is a judgement which
they are altogether as well able to pronounce, without having before
them a sum proposed by myself as with it. No data have I which
they have not.

Yes: if, as in the case of Messrs Chalmers and Cowie
above mentioned, an application had now been to be made to Parliament,
to state a specific sum, as the sum petitioned for, might perhaps, in
that case have been necessary. But now, in virtue of the Act of Parliament
already passed, Arbitrators are already named - Named? and
to what purpose but to name the sum? For, if any award be made,
to name the sum is what they will have to do at any rate, in every
case but that of their acceding, without variation, to the precise sum
named, supposing such sum named, by me.

To the purpose of any person, to whom either the
so long intended and now at last discarded system, or the intended
Managers of it, or either of them should happen to be regarded with an unfriendly eye
any such nomination would be of no small use. Be the grounds ever so
good, the sum so named by me would spread itself everywhere (for
in this transaction I know of nothing that either can, or ought to be
secret)
