Tothill Fields. Plan of Division - with Observations
2. Because the Dean & chapter are in the
habit of that sort of management, & are provided
with fit & permanent officers, for the purpose:
which can scarcely be said to be the case at all,
at any rate not in nearly equal degree, in the
instance of the Parishes —
3. Because, supposing the land in the hands
of the Dean & chapter, the proper object in view
in the management of such concerns, the
improvement of the fund in question for the
benefit of the principals, is likely to be effectu-
-ally provided for, to the exclusion of all bye-in-
-terests: whereas, supposing it in the hands of
the Parishes, that is of the Parish Governments,
any such subject matter forms the natural food
of a species of contention, in which the interests
of the body at large, are, in the ordinary course of
things (every thing that turns upon the cha-
-racter of this or that individual being laid per-
-fectly out of question case) liable to be made
a sacrifice of, more or less, to the interests or
partialities of a few leading Members & their
personal friends.
4. Because, in respect of the greatest part
of the land proposed to be reserved, the manage-
-ment grows entirely out of the provision
made for the health & exercise of the great
public School, of which the Dean & Chapter
are the Guardians: an object altogether foreign
to the competence of the Parishes.
