hensions would as far as he cna judge, have upon an occasion
like the present found their way into his breat. But
he is far, very far, and he trusts always will be, from
harbouring any such unreasonable & arrogant pretension,
as to call upon the gentlemen in question to take his
feelings for the measure & standard of theirs: and
should the degree of sensibility they manifest, appear
in the eyes of even of unprejudiced persons, to go more
or less beyond, what might have been expected to be excited
by the circumstances of the case, he knows not
of any other sensation than that of regret, which an an observation
to that effect ought to excite in the breast of
a candid adversary, much less in that of an impartial
Judge. But there are cases, and those unhappily
but too numerous, in which the momentary
feelings on a part of the community, must inevitably
give way to the lasting service of the whole: and the
present case, if he is not much mistaken, will be
found one of them.
In no case where land is to be bought for public
use, does the law know any thing of neighbourhoods:
it takes care, anxious care, of proprietors and occupiers:
but there it stops, and does nothing at all for neighbourhoods.
Farthest of all would it be from manifesting any
such care in the instance of prisons. — a prison
