The spot now in question was then afterwards proposed under
the idea of its standing clear of the objection which had
been fatal to the former choice. The persons on a majority of whom
the confirmation of the choice had been made to depend
were 15: viz: the 12 Judges, the Chancellor, the Speaker
and the Lord Mayor. Of these 14 signed the certificate
of approbation: the 15th it went without the signature
of the 15th, not on account of his disapproving it, but
merely on account of his not being then in the way,
under which circumstance, in consideration of the unanimity
of his colleagues, it was thought not worth while to delay
the business for the sake of a the formality of his signature
which in point of legal efficacy was superfluous

I have the honour to be
Sir
Your most obedient
& humble Servant
Jeremy Bentham
