Does the Act thus committ put the choice of
the spot to in the power of an individual, in the power of your Memorialist altogether? – Does
it give him a negative upon it in every case?
By no means. It gives him no negative
upon the choice of that best of all spots which has been
chosen by such high authority and after such
nature deliberation. Convenient or inconvenient
to him, your Lordships may well call upon him
to take that or none. He has pronounced it
convenient, he is estopped from calling it otherwise.
Could he, pointing to any other new spot, say, this would
be more convenient to me than the old one, therefore
you are bound to give it me instead? No certain, unless not even
were he able to shew that it would at least be be still more convenient
and proper with reference to the public
in every point of view.⊞ ⊞ The law Act admitts that other spots may perhaps be found as convenient and proper: but it does not admitt that any can be more so. Hard indeed then would it
be, if while one party, your Memorialist were bound, the other
party, the public, whom your Lordships represent, should
be altogether free.
