Hearing Petitions
Since all petitions it is not always t that are presented
Since it is not always that such petitions as
happen to have been presented to the Sovereign can all of them be
read, and since the giving it in charge to any one
to make a choice would counteract the purpose render them of no use
there remains but one way of ascertaining determining the point
of preference which is by lot: and this lot lottery should
as public as ceremonies and advertisements
can make it: for it were would be as well good the determination
should not be impartial, as that it should the impartiality
of it should not be known. not be known to be so.
Let the Sovereign then have certain days
and a certain hour of the day for receiving whatever
petitions shall be pres from every hand that offers
them: and let him receive them in the most public
manner, in a spatious hall, in an elevated situation,
sitting on a throne. As he receives each
paper, and before he parts with it, let him
with his own hand mark it by a set of stamps
to be kept for the purpose under his own lock &
key. the stamps should contain the year month
and day, together with a number which of course
must be different for each petition. Let the total
