Memorial
that of 15 years which it has undergone already: an apprehension
in which your Memorialist is the better grounded, inasmuch
as in that very case of the Penitentiary system more
instances than one of such disagreement have taken place, &
were the original causes from which a delay of so discouraging
a magnitude took its rise.
In speaking of the place to be made purchase of as aforesaid
your Lordships may have observed that your Memorialist
confines the demand to the estate already appropriated to the
Penitentiary system under the original Act. The Act of the
last session under this head gives your Lordships an option,
it is true, between the Land aforesaid and "any other as convenient
"& proper spot of ground" situated within any of certain
Counties therein referred to. Your Lordships being not the less
at liberty to fix upon the land aforesaid and thereby adhere
to the appropriation so long ago and so deliberately made,
it is your Memorialist's humble application, & forasmuch as such
adherence is not objected to unless it be on the part of certain
description of persons whose objections have already been overruled
by competent authority your Lordships will be pleased
to fix upon the said spot without waiting to look out for any
other.
To facilitate that degree of dispatch which on every account
is so desirable it seemed to him that his best course
would be to render the business ripe for your Lordships decision
as far as depended upon him in the first instance
by stating the considerations which confine his hopes and even
his capacity of fulfilling his engagements, to the spot
already chosen, & by answering in the way of anticipation
