<p>Under the Circumstances, there are three descriptions of Persons of —<lb/> | |||
whom <add>naturally speaking</add> nothing could be expected but that they should be disposed to throw<lb/> | |||
every obstruction possible in the way of the proposed appropriation — 1.<hi rend="superscript">st</hi> the —<lb/> | |||
possessors of the Fruits of the past Encroachments, for which on the occasion of any<lb/> | |||
settlement of the property they would naturally be apprehensive of being —<lb/> | |||
called to account — 2.<hi rend="superscript">nd</hi> those who have similar projects of Encroachment —<lb/> | |||
in contemplation, and 3<hi rend="superscript">rd</hi>— the private friends of both classes, among such —<lb/> | |||
of the Vestrymen, as are or have been in the habit of taking the lead<lb/> | |||
in the management of the Parochial concerns. These Encroachments, by —<lb/> | |||
which a value, and that in point of affection a very high one, —<lb/> | |||
may have been given to many an odd scrap of Ground, which till then<lb/> | |||
<del>had</del><add>was</add> in fact <add><del>was</del> of</add> no value at all to any body, have derived a very <del><gap/></del><add>natural</add> —<lb/> | |||
origin, and in a very considerable degree an excuse, from the <add>sort of</add> inattention above<lb/> | |||
spoken of. It might therefore be an act of extensive utility as well as commendable<lb/> | |||
indulgence, to insert into the Bill at a proper stage a clause of indemnity<lb/> | |||
and oblivion in <sic>favor</sic> of those who experience this need of it. The<lb/> | |||
Bishop of Rochester, the Representative of the Parties injured, in —<lb/> | |||
the House of Lords, occupies a situation from which a Clause to such <lb/> | |||
an effect would come <add>as it should seem</add> with singular propriety and grace: it is accordingly —<lb/> | |||
proposed, should the Bill go on, to choose a fit Channel for conveying<lb/> | |||
to his Lordship a hint to that effect. But no such grace can naturally —<lb/> | |||
be supposed to be in the expectation of any of the wrong-doers; —<lb/> | |||
nothing therefore but opposition (should any active part be taken.) —<lb/> | |||
and at any rate, nothing like consent, can reasonably be looked —<lb/> | |||
for, on the part of a set of individuals thus circumstanced. —</p> | |||
