date of the verdict by which the value of the premises
stands assessed at £6,600 has received considerable
encrease, have cause enquiry to be made into the magnitude
of that encrease, and the same as been found
too much to give.As to this matter, true it is, that the
first movement of your Lordships mends, as faithful
Guardians under his Majesty of the public purse, would
at first blush very naturally & very laudably draw back
at the idea of any new & unexpected expenditure. But
justice, without which there can be no true economy,
justice will, as he humbly trusts, effectually prevent
your Lordships from considering the objection as one
by which your Lordships decision in the present instance
can be governed. The convenience of the spot
which he found appropriated to the purpose, was
among the advantages which he promised himself
from the Contract, among the inducements
which he found for proposing it, and among the
means on which he relied & still relies for enabling
him to fulfill it upon such reduced terms. Whatever
to be the value of the spot, if your Lordships
justice could admitt of your taking it away from
your Memorialist (which your Memorialist humbly
contends it can not) it could never admitt of
your Lordship's subjecting him to any such damage
