talked of for the Court House, all of them improper, being near the Southern Extremitys of the County; because it is demonstrable that it would prevent the settlement of the northern part of the County, and of course be greatly prejudicial to the Proprietors of Land there for there can be nc doubt that the fixing the Court House to the Southward will naturally draw the Inhabitants that way ; whereas if it should be placed ina more centrical situation, it will be a means of diffusing the Inhabitants more equally through every part of the County, to the equal advantage of the Proprietors of Land, and conveniency of the Inhabitants. - Should it be argued that how soon the northern part of the County is peopled, it is to be formed into a separate County ; I would answer that there is no probability of its happening for at least forty years to come, the number of Inhabitants in that extensive Tract of Country, being at present so inconsiderable. The Proprietors of Lands, as well as the Inhabitants, in the Southern parts of that County already possess great advantages over those in the northern parts, by their enjoyment of a milder Climate ; and being nearer to a settled Country and to the interior parts of the Province, they can have a ready market for their Produce at a much smaller expence of Carrriage ; which without another acquired advantage, must naturally increase the value of their Lands, which already bear a price, and consequently will draw settlers to them. The Proprietors therefore, of Lands to the Northward, who-are equally chargable with His Majesty's Quit Rents, and who expect to meet with equall Favor, will have but a poor chance of getting their lands settled, under so many disadvantages, in case a situation for the County Town should be chose near the Southern Extremity of the County.
