but from the gentlemen by whom the Bill was
drawn; by from whom he understood whom he was informed, that it was in
the view as be concerned of making appointment of your Memorialist,
and no other person, for that purpose, that
the provision in question was introduced. He begs
leave to add that should any other person be made
choice of for that function, the time for taking possession
of the place, perhaps the choice of the place
itself, and thence one of the most essential points
of the contract, as well as your Memorialist's capacity
of fulfilling it, will thus be made dependent upon
the opinion, the good pleasure, and the leisure,
of some person as yet unknown to your Memorialist:
and that moreover, if in the execution
of such power, several persons should be joined,
the execution of the said contract might, by a
disagreement amongst such persons, experience
an indefinite retardation, in addition to that of
15 years which it has undergone already: an
apprehension in which your Memorialist is the
better grounded, inasmuch as in this very case
of the Penitentiary system, more instances than
one of such disagreement have taken place, and
were the original causes from which a delay of so
discouraging a magnitude took its rise.
