Case relative to the Tothill Fields Bill.
above referred to— being the act for incorporating the Parishes
of St Margaret and St John, for these and other purposes.
In the present Bill, no mention (it may perhaps be
observed) is made of any consent on the part of any of the parties
interested. In point of fact no consent has been obtained; nor
has any application been made for that purpose, except to the
Dean and Chapter, to whose public situation it was looked
upon as due on the footing of a Compliment. No decided consent has been received from that quarter; but such a tendency at least to consent has been manifested, that it is
in consequence of an intimation given, at a Chapter Meeting
by the Dean in the name of the Chapter, that the Clause
empowering the Treasury to accept of a long lease instead of
the fee has been inserted. That, for a purpose like the
present, no consent is necessary, is a point already (as above
observed) decided upon by the Legislature; which has already
subjected to the compulsive powers in question, all the Lands
within the four Counties contiguous to the Metropolis, with
no other exception than what are made in favor of the
Pretium affectionis, in the instance of Dwelling Houses
with their appurtenances.
In the instance of the Parishes, no consent was
reasonable to be looked for (as it seemed) under the Circumstances
of the case. The Idea os setting down a new and
large Prison in the Neighbourhood, though it be such a Neighbourhood, could not naturally be expected to be a popular
one; the advantage in point of easement of Poor's rates, how
substantial soever, could not be presented beforehand in any
liquidated shape: particular inconvenience would naturally
be apprehended, on the part of those who by vicinage are in
the habit of making what little use is made of the universal
right, by turning in their Cattle, where <unclear> and a resting place
at least are to be found for them, how little soever besides. In
