[16]Page 14* §.6.[thereabouts] The word thereabouts, instead
of rendering the designation indeterminate, as might
at first glance be supposed, is necessary to prevent
it from being so. The space occupied by the sets
of Parishes here indicated is in itself a determinate
portion of space: but a space of exactly five miles
round any such Dock Yard would not exactly
agree with the space occupied by the set of the sum total
number of the several Parishes, which in the whole or in any part there
of them respectively are within five miles of such
Dock Yard. Were it not therefore for the temperament
applied by the word thereabouts, the two
descriptions would being repugnant to each other,
and would the thence be both of them indeterminate.
