-lerable must it be to a neighbourhood upon which
the establishment fell unexpected, & with a mark
of reprobation on its head? It would thus be hunted
on from neighbourhood without
finding a foot of land to repose on any where.
And in the mean time (to say nothing of your
Memorialist) what would become of your Lordships
time, & of the public service? Of what nature
too would be the instruction given by such a
precedent to your Memorialist? — to look out
for another good place, for a place as convenient
& proper as the present one? No: — but
for a bad place: for as bad an one as could be
found: for its badness would be his only chance.
He would have to hunt the four counties over for a
desert: and if they contained no desert, they would
contain no place for him at all. For let him fix
on what spot he will, if there be such a thing as a
house within a mile or two of it, his chance is gone.
To what purpose look for consent? for consent to an
establishment which your Lordships have pronounced
a nuisance? a nuisance & that of so baneful a nature,
as to render houses uninhabitable at more than a
mile's distance? If opposition would otherwise have
been wanting, the decision itself would be enough to
make one: it would be an advertisement for
opponents
