Reasons 8
Nor reason for expecting
better price from a
second Jury then then from
the first—

Were it even thought fit to force upon him the favour he
has refused, would the expedient of a valuation de novo present a
prospect of so much as answerring that purpose? So far from it,
that if there were any room for impeaching the verdict of the Jury,
it would rather be on the ground of having gone beyond the time's
price than fallen short of it. £6,000 only wad all that the Supervisors,
men as devoid of personal interest as the Jury could be,
had looked upon themselves as warranted to consider as the full
value. To this £6,000 that Jury made an addition of £600: no
less than 10 per cent. What ground to suppose that the disposition
of another Jury could be still more favourable?

Valuation de novo contented
against, only for
the sake of propriety
and certainty.

Accordingly for my own part, I know not that
I have any thing more to fear from a valuation de novo than to
hope for it. If I object to it, it is only because it does not seem
to me to be the proper course, & because I prefer certainty to cross
& pile.

Whether the valuation de novo be adopted, or
the assessment of a supplemental price, the prompt possession
proposed, is what the proprietors can receive no possible
prejudice from. In addition to the £6,600, the land
itself together with whatever money will have been laid out
upon it is made security for the value of the land.
