As to compensation for the delay, be it longer or
shorter, and adequate one is impossible: since of eventual
profits prevented, however real & however considerable
they would have proved, no account could be taken
for any such purpose. The following items, however
enormous, would fall enormously short of being
adequate. Reimbursement for what your Memorialist
is already in advance, £ 6.000 & upwards besides
interest: for materials & work bespoke and in
hand, which he will soon be called upon to pay for,
not much less: for what it is costing him to keep
his men together, £ 2,000 a year: & this leaves
your Memorialist's Brother without the smallest
compensation, either for the loss of his situation abroad,
or for the private establishment at home
which has been sacrificed to this public one. To
take time for shewing unprecedented favour, your
Lordships will never set out with doing so certain,
so heavy, & so irremediable an injustice.
Could it be still a matter of doubt whether
your Lordships would finally see reason to make
the choice here pray'd for, your Lordships would not

to take measures to the same effect de bene
esse: to wit by fixing upon the old spot, and
making
