We beg leave also to remind the Governors that our

</

Houses were built conformable to the Plans which they saw

</

and approved, previous to the agreement favour Leases;

and with Timbers of the scantlings prescribed by themselves.

And though it has been often said, that some of them
<
lb

</
lb

were built without due regard to the vicinity of the Sewer, yet
<
lb

</
lb

in the instance supposed to be most in point (Mr Waddington)
<
lb

</
lb

the agreement for a Lease was actually witheld till the
<
lb

</
lb

Governors and several Surveyors had inspected and
<
lb

</
lb

approved the plan of the Building and had satisfied
<
lb

</
lb

themselves by a View, that the principal Wall, close to the
<
lb

</
lb

sewer and about Eighty feet in length, had been built by
<
lb

</
lb

Mr Mylne himself; and that the other precautions to
<
lb

</
lb

avoid injury to the Sewer and danger to the Building were
<
lb

</
lb

in all respects proper and amply Sufficient.

We have been led to offer remarks, not by any

serious apprehensions for our Houses, which, though
<
lb

</
lb

greatly injured by the late Public Works, we have no doubt
<
lb

</
lb

will last our Term; but because the Governors seem to think
<

</

it no part of their Tenants in taking care that a Job, so
<
lb

</
lb

interesting eventually to their own most valuable Estate, be
<

</

carefully and securely executed:although nothing can be

more clear, than that, if the present occasion be lost, the Injury to

their Property may be not only great, but irreperable.
