9 Case relative to the Tothill Fields Bill.

the Neighbourhood, though it be such a Neighbourhood, could not
naturally be expected to be a popular one; the advantage in
point of easement of Poors Rates, how substantial soever, could not
be presented beforehand in any liquidated shape: particular
inconvenience would naturally be apprehended, on the part of those
who by vicinage are in the habit of making what little use is
made of the universal right, by turning in their Cattle, where
Air and a resting-place at least, are to be found for them, how

not to add any thing to the existing Stock of those Powers — but only
to transfer, and by transferring to mollify in effect, a set of powers
of the sort in question already created by two former Acts. The Spot
at Battersea which (as well as any other Lands in separate
ownership within the four Counties except the Scites of Dwelling
Houses with their Appurtenances) may be taken at any time
under those Acts, is a Spot, in relation to which the pretium
affectionis has been found to operate (as it well might be expected
