Similarity of this
spot to that before
rejected at Limehouse
A spot at Limehouse had been proposed
under the old Act by some of the gentlemen on
whom the choice depended under that Act: it
had every requisite but this: it was strenuously
defended recommended by some; it had every requisite
but this: but for want of this it was opposed
by others, and the opposition prevailed. A
sentence to that spot would be a sentence of
death to a great part of the prisoners was the
opinion of the late eminent Physician Dr Fothergil,
as commemorated reported to your Memorialist
by Mr Howard. But the no spot at Limehouse
is can be lower (relation being had to high-water
mark at each place) than the whole
surface of Battersea Common Field.
