prison a nuisance?—then so is a Court of Justice.
A prison in a desert? no such phaenomenon was
ever heard or thought of. To seat a prison in a
desert, would be to make it a Bastille. A prison to
be repelled from a country spot, on account of the
populousness of the spot?—No prison has ever
been hitherto built but in a town. Scarce a session
without an Act for such a purpose. In any instance
whatever, was opposition ever made in such a case,
by individuals, on the ground of neighbourhood?
Your Memorialist believes not: surely none that
ever prevailed.
In aggravation of the supposed injury, your
Memorialist has heard the quantity of capital invested
in buildings and other improvements within
the circle of the neighbourhood in question, whatever
extent may be meant to be given to that circle,
has been estimated at about £200,000. Your Memorialist
has no suspicion of any thing like exaggeration
in this estimate: had he been obliged to
guess, he should rather have expected to find such
a sum short of the truth, than beyond it. But
in speaking of this value, gentlemen speak of it
as if a grand part, there is no saying how great,
but a very great part of it, would be destroy'd.
