Even had proper been the only word, the conclusion
would have been still the same. Wouldn
a spot which was not a proper one, a person standing in the relation of your Memorialist
might find it physically impossible for him
to carry into execution any contract engagement he might enter
into for the purpose. On a spot which appeared
to him to a certain degree an improper one not a proper one it would be a breach
of probity as well as prudence to take upon him any such engagement. enter into undertake it Could
he be called upon to undertake engage for prisoners
on a spot when in his judgement he could not
keep them alive? — on a plan spot where his the
means he could collect would not suffice to keep them? — on a
spot where (as was the case on board the Hulk at
Langston Harbour) between 1/6 and 1/9 of the number every sixth man of them
would die in the compass of a year? In On this
point of view therefore as well as every other ground alone therefore if there even as other,, your
Memorialist supposing a new
spot to be proposed has by the very nature his of the case
predicament in which he stands, a necessary negative upon the choice: and this negative
he humbly begs leave to exercise in the first once for all,
instance upon every other spot that has or can
be thought of.
