II Self-sacrifices of Seats
for Hardy 266, 279
offers few and insincere
For J.B. as above
Were they ever universal
offers of seat sacrifice
would not be trustworthy
See Hardy offers his or
Br from seat holden
where seats were assured
many from do whose
do were persuasive andwith
more no burthen than
do benefit
Independently of the all the theory, of the true cases, why the people on that occasion
in Ireland
were counted at one time, and crushed at another, the facts for which brought
forward be we are obliged to Mr Hardy have no room <gap/> no dou doubt,
under the circumstances in Question for the reasons that have been submitted to Your Lordship, by the most
universal offers of real sacrifice even though they had been universal
would not have presented an adequate title to confidence
In the height of the pressure by no more than two or three Lords and
Gentlemen according to Mr Hardy were any such offers from persons
entitled to make than made. Two or three Lords and Gentlemen{p.266) Hardy p.266
(Lord Charlemont in the number p.267, who possessed borough property,
declared in the Convention that any proper plan of reform
should meet with no obstacle from from possessions remaining
in their hands. They would willingly relinquish them for the benefit
of the people." To these were added similar offers, but with abundantly much more expansion
from others whose property in that shape was worth nothing
or somewhat less afterwards. So that same Convention On a particular occasion. To Mr Flood having
stood forth as the champion of parliamentary reform," the friends Hardy p.279
of one, or as I believe says MrHardy p.279 two or three, Noblemen who had boroughs,
"voted with Mr Flood.

From theory said
J.B. Play
Look to the state of
interest. Say what
they will no body
majority of a body
ever willingly gives up any
interest.
This case adds it
not to the facts in
which that theory
was grounded?
It was from a general survey take of human nature
as displayed in history, from theory, if your Lordship pleases
if so it please your Lordship, or Earl Grey in the Edinburgh
Review, that I said in that passage which the Reviewer dustno
no to to view Look to the state of interests!- say what you
will or let them say what they will, the majority of no political body ever
did, or ever will, otherwise than by a strong arm making their precedence
ever be brought to give up<add>so much as</add>a particle of give up that which in their eyes is their interests. It was from
that theory appe with some other particular facts for its support that I
ventured to lay down that positive: and from those factsnow whether is has
received from ulterior confirmation let Your Lordship,
and Your Lordships associate there and elsewhere, to please <add>to</add>declare judge.
