would not be equally convenient with reference to the
public, as according to the Act it ought to be.
Does the Act then put the choice of the spot in the
power of an individual, in the power of your Memorialist,
altogether? Does it give him a negative
upon it in every case? By no means. It gives
him no negative, upon the choice of that best of all
spots, which has been chosen by such high authority,
and after such mature deliberation.
or inconvenient to him, your Lordships may
call upon him to take that or none. He has pronounced
it convenient, he is estopped from calling
it otherwise. Could he, pointing to any new
spot, say, this would be more convenient to me
than the old one, therefore you are bound to give
it me instead? — No certainly; not even were he
able to shew that it would be still more convenient
& proper with reference to the public in every
point of view. The Act admitts that other spots
may perhaps be found "as convenient & proper:"
but it does not admitt that any can be more so.
Hard indeed then would it be, if while one party
upon your Memorialist, were bound, the other party,
the public, whom your Lordships represent,
should be altogether free.
