not forbear regretting that the intended Structure for a Court of<lb></lb>
Justice, was so difficult of Access. A thought occurred to me,<lb></lb>
which I take the Liberty to suggest, that Perhaps it may be<lb></lb>
practicable to obtain a more convenient avenue, at least for<lb></lb>

new Street could be opened from the West end of the Green, where<lb></lb>
