Memorial or case on behalf of many orphans, widows, and other persons in low circumstances, who would be subjected to great distress, by having their small properties in the city of Edinburgh forced from them, for the sake, or on pretence, of improving the said city, ---- if the bill for that purpose, depending in Parliament, should pass into a law: utterly unable (as they are) to enter the lists, by a formal opposition, upon their own expences, against those who the community's purse at command; the known equity and humanity of a British legislature gives them assurance, that their case will be attended to with all possible indulgence and commiseration, without regard to forms, or the method of its coming to the knowledge of members..
