if your Lordships do not take that, you do not perform
what the Act requires, you do not make your choice as soon
after the passing thereof as conveniently may be. In vain
would any one say to your Lordships, Wait a little, and I'll
shew you a fitter spot: — a fitter spot does not exist: a
spot as convenient & proper the Act supposes may possibly
be found: but of a spot still more convenient & proper the
Act supposes may possibly be found, but of a spot still
more convenient & proper it does not so much as admitt
of the existence.
What the Act then requires of your Lordships is to do
one or other of two things, and that as soon as conveniently
may be. The one your Lordships are sure you can do, and
that with the most perfect convenience, the instant this Memorial
shall have been read: the other your Lordships cannot
be sure you can do at all: you are pretty sure that you
can not do it at all: you have great reason to apprehend,
that if you could do it at all you could not do it for years,
and nobody can say how many years. — Can your Lordships
hesitate?
Another thing your Lordships may be perfectly sure of is
the certain hardship, to say no more, and that altogether irremediable,
which will be running on while your Lordships
are looking out in expectation of an act which it is in nobody's
power to perform. While your Lordships sit waiting, the
fortune of your Memorialist, as your Lordships have seen is consuming, inevitably consuming,
till sooner or later, but long before any land has
been put into his hands, his means of making use of it
are gone. As
