COMPENSATION CLAIMS ON THE

PUBLIC PURSE.

(ram A coanEsPoNnErt•)
A vety important and interesting document has
been made up, at the desire .of the Lords of
the Treasury, by thO tonitilisairers for. invest',
gating the claims for compensation, preferred by
parties in Consequence of alleged injuries which they
sustained by their premises having been taken .doWn,
and their trade removed, to make way for the East
India, the West India),and the London Docks; This
it a 'report sets forth the amotuit or the claims
made for compensatiOn, the names of the claimants,
the names of the commissioners by whom the claims
were investigated, and the sums awarded. The
very arduous labours of the commissioners commenced
in 1796, and, with 'the ekeeption of a few litigated
claims,
closed in 1821. The enormous amount of
money which they saved to the public will be sub-
sequently displayed. The greater number of claim-
ants, it is•well known, have had goad reason to be
satisfied with the sthes awarded; From the 07G
awards of the commissioners, bin 4 appeals were
made to juries. In several of these cases they de-
clared that the claimants were entitled to no com-
pensation whatever ; to some they gave verdicts for
less amounts --than had previously been offered to
theM ; several -received no larger amounts then the
previous awards; and the great tnajOtity, with all
the aid of professional talent, and the power of elo-
quence, obtained verdicts for sums nothing like those
originally claimed. The general impression pro-
duced has been perfectly satisfactory; and now,
when a new road is chalked out, or an extensive im-

provement planned, the murmurs and threats of op-
position are heard, tot from those whose premises
are doomed to destruction, but from those whose
sacred homes are to be left untouched. The re-

port has, it is conjectured, been obtained to serve as
a guide for judging of the extent of the reliance
which ought to be placed on demands made in such
cases on the public purse ; and also for calculating
the degree and probable operation of the appelens
alioii, or else of the power of imagination possessed
by the mercantile classes. Other similar returns of
claims made by retail dealers and shopkeepers will,
when made up, show with precision, in figures, either
the average stretch of conscience, or the wide mis-
conception whiCh people are apt to make of the
value of that which belongs to them, even where
that value would seem ascertainable to a shilling
ilit4 from the average nett profits, and the accustomed
market-price of such an interest. In either case the
report will, it is conceived, furnish correct dates,
from which- the intelligent public may deduce Jules
of a salutary, mor2l, and a prudential character.
