Another Impediment, which of itself might be sufficient to prevent
any future and different Division or Improvement of the Waste, is the —
Uncertainty that prevails (as already stated) with Regard to the — .. — .. —
proportionable Quantities of Interest as between the Dean and Chapter —
as Lords on the one Hand, and the Inhabitants aforesaid as Commoners
on the other. — This uncertainty will be continually increasing, while by — .. —
Encroachment [+] [+] (a practice which the Spot
in question affords not a few
examples) the very Subject. Matter itself will be as continually crumbling —
away. — The Benefit reaped by the Dean and Chapter being nothing, and the —
Benefit to the Commoners being, in the Instance of a vast Majority of —
them, u next to nothing, neither Party has ever found any adequate —
Inducement for engaging in that tedious and expensive Course of
Litigation, without which in the ordinary Mode of proceeding the — .. — ..
Uncertainty could not be removed; particularly the Dean and Chapter,
a Body composed of Individuals mostly advanced in Life, and whose Interest —
in the Premises does nor survive to their natural Representatives: and —
as the Subject-Matter of the Investigation grows less and less, so would
the Inducement to engage in it. — The present Bill, while for the first time
it gives a Value to those Interests, provides a summary Mode of —
procedure for establishing their relative Amount, an Assistance which —
(it has been already shewn) could not with any Degree of Consistency
be afforded by the Legislature on any future Occasion, if on the present —
Occasion it were to be refused. —

Upon the whole therefore, the following Points will it is supposed
be found sufficiently established. —

1.......... That the Plan itself would, in the Opinion of the Legislature, be a —
considerable National Benefit. —

2.......... That the Choice of the Spot in Question would not upon the whole
be prejudicial to the Neighbourhood of that Spot. —

3..........That on the contrary it wod. be beneficial to the Neighbourhood. —

4...........That, with as few and as slight Exceptions (if any) as in the Case of such a —
Transmutation of Property can occur, it would be beneficial to every Description
of Persons interested in Point of Proprietary Right. —

5.......... That, at the same time under the Circumstances of the Case, no express
general Consent would reasonably be to be expected. —

6..........But that it is of the number of those Cases where Consent ought not to —
be looked upon as requisite. —
