Reasons Panopticon Bill Valuation
what I propose accordingly is, that the Jury enquiry
of the Jury should take for its object the difference
between the time's price of that time, and that of

such allegation to that effect would be made.

1. The right to
claim indemnity reimbursement
denied.
If it were made, there are two answers to it.
One is that it was the folly (to use the law-expression)

forejudged in due course of law: and to which to this

2. Reimbursement
offered.
But secondly, not to use this re a plea which
might be thought to savour of rigour, I make this
answer which is a short one. Let Lord Spencer
give me in any account of money so laid out
by him I will pay it at his word, in addition
to the difference between the time's price. No use therefore
of a new valuation de novo for this purpose.
