Case relative to the Tothill Fields Bill
Rate will have something instead of nothing.
As to the bulk of the Inhabitants, what Heritage the
Haste affords, being in point of right shared amongst so many
thousands [the number in St Margarets alone being estimated
at 12,000] can be no object to any one. The interest
of the Consideration Money for the portion proposed to be purchased
would be an object of some account if applied in case
of the Poor Rates, or rather [to make the distribution of the
compensation Money the more equable and opposite] in case
[as is proposed] of the scavengers Rate; that being a rate to
which many Inhabitants pay, who by poverty are excused
from the Poor rate, as appears by 25th yes 2 d Ch. 23 above
referred to – being the Act for incorporating the Parishes
of Saint Margaret and Saint John, for these and other
purposes -
In the present Bill no mention [it may perhaps
be observed] is made of any consent on the part of any of
the Parties interested. In point of fact, no consent has been
obtained; nor has any application been made for that purpose,
except
(c) Number of Acres proposed to be purchased clean of Roads say . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . } 36 Annual value per Acre, say . . . . . . . . . . . .

N.B This is over and above the compensation Money should be awarded for the 11 Acres proposed to be allotted to the Dean and Chapter for the use of the Westminster scholars] and the right Leasing-out, or otherwise employing; what will remain of the 5 or 6 Acres behind Rochester Row, after the allotment of about half and acre for the Poor-house, proposed to be built in lieu of the existing Poor-House —
