it would lie upon persons making this distinction,
to draw the line and say, at what number of
persons so circumstanced, and quantity of property
so invested, the title to relief could, consistently with
the principle of the decision already given, commence
(an attempt evidently vain & impracticable:) in the
next place, there is not one of those persons, who,
at the time of laying out his money, did not see
the decision, staring him full in the face. The decision did not turn in the least upon numbers:
it is impossible therefore it should be affected by
any variation in respect of numbers. If the three
Parishes in question were not quite so populous twelve
years ago as now, still they were populous: if the Villas in them were not
quite so abundant then as now, still they were abundant.
Suppose for example 200 Villas of sufficient
account then, & 220 of sufficient account now:
would the difference between 200 & 220 make any
difference in the propriety & conclusiveness of the decision? Will it be said, that though good against
200, it becomes bad the moment the 200 get 20
more, or 200 more, or any other number more, to
join them?
So far from it, that your Memorialist humbly
contends, that if the decisions of the 12 Judges have
