by his people deals by them as the proprietorin making his will of a farm
deals by his cattle when he declares that upon his
death his wife shall have them for her life and then
upon his death this or that one of his children. If the
interest of his cattle even the interest be laid principally in view, the
desperation be made might perhaps be different. But
that be in any such occasion he should consult any
interest other than that of his own family is what as one

interest in what is will be to be done or not to be done by the reversions

in foot the reversion the interest of the people is not in fact the
object of consideration: and that in the pu keeping
the office in existence, the notice of any public service to
about being or about to be rendered in it and for it is a mere

in reversion is proof and sufficiently conclusive
proof of its being a sinecure which as such is as much as
to say that it ought to be abolished
