conclusive by the very tribunal I am speaking of: such was its becoming
tenderness for the feelings of individuals: and by that very same high
and considerate tribunal was the choice of this the very spot now in question
confirmed without a dissenting voice, as being free from all objection
which had put a negative upon the other. The rejection itself
appears by the report which I inclose: the reason of it as above stated
(a matter which must be known in the Neighbourhood I mean in
Wandsworth) I had from the Supervisors, and the difference is indeed
apparent on the face of the present spot. For, my Lord, what are
the buildings that (except in the way of distant prospect as London may
be) are on the in sight of it? — Two or three Cottages of no value, and
a Public House that would make a fortune by the choice. Did your
Lordship's Agents (I should have said those of the late Earl) make any
objection then? I never heard they did: but if they did, they were
over-ruled. The choice, your Lordship will have the goodness to observe,
is not now to be made: it is a res acta: in succeeding to the estate,
your Lordship found it with this obligation lying upon it.
