Inhabitants of those Houses, to the House of Lords, which Petition is
reprinted in the above mentioned Pamphlet written by the above mentioned Dr. Wilson
at that time one of the Prebends of Westminster and Curate of Saint Margarets.

How much stronger as case that was than the present will appear from the
following passages in the Petition (being the whole of it except the formal —
words at the Introduction and Conclusion) in which the sufficiency —
of such a ground as that of the present Bill is in a manner
admitted.—

"The Bill if passed into a Law" say the Petitioners "will greatly
"injure your Petitioners in the their properties, and will be the absolute ruin of
"several hundreds of tradesmen and Artificers, who must be driven from their
"respective dwellings, to seek their Bread in Places where they are —"—
"unknown —

And your Petitioners humbly submit to the Consideration of —
"your Lordships, whether such powers, as are contained in this Bill
"have in any instance been granted by the Legislature, where the object —
"proposed has not been some great and public advantage. —

"That your Petitioners apprehend, that the inconveniences proposed to be
"remedied by this Bill, are only imaginary, that the evils which it would
"being upon your Petitioners, are real and substantial; and the advantages to
"arise from it would be confined solely to the Projectors and proprietors of
"the Houses to be erected in pursuance thereof"
