be "as convenient and proper." As to the word
proper, it seems to have reference principally, if not
exclusively, to the public service. But to be as
convenient, the new Spot must be as convenient as
the old one to all Parties: it must be as convenient
not only to the Public, which is one Party, but
to your Memorialist, who alone is, and was, looked
to as the other. But no other Spot, equally convenient
to your Memorialist, is to be had under

to come? Any such other situation then would
