A'HORT Statement of Fads in support of Mr.
•
Byng's Address to the Freeholders; has appeared ill a
Morning Paper of-Saturday, in. which his.Principies,
tation of his Father, and his Services to the Public are ad-
duted aa'reasons iii favour .of his present pretentions. to re-
present the County of Middlesex. As to Mr. 13yng'S Prin-
ciples, he professes (if from the generality of his De-
claration they can be gathered) to be an Old Whig ;. if
he is an Old Whig, he possesses all their bad qualities
and none of their -good ones. 'ln imitation of his Father,
he is as unequal in mind or talents, as an infant is in strength
to Hercules. His Father was steady in all his views—his Son
is in every thing unsteady—what his Father proposed or pro-
mised he always pertorthed—howfar this example is followed
by his Soti, those most intimate with hitrican best judge—his
Father was cool, 'and never suffered any thing-toirritate hint
during theperformanee-ot his public duties--his Son is irrit.
Fable and violent:- he mixes the passions of the Man with the,
duties of a Member of Parliament. As to his Public Services,
the Public 'have yet to learn where they arc to be found and
for his Benevolence and Charity, .I would refer the Publietto
;the LOndon Hospital, for there the records will tell that on
late occasion, when a generous Public came forward in a
Manner unparalleled, to support one of the noblest Establish-
ments in the Metropolis from falling into decay, out of a for- •
tune amounting to-near 20,0001. per annum, the Member for
Middlesex gave the sum of One Guinea.. •
" The service particularly noticed.is the support he gave
to a Bill for establishing an Open. Competition for supplying
the inhabitants of 'the Eastern Part of• Middlesex' with Wa-
ter, and that the Bill was strenuously opposed by a powerful
Company, of which Sir C. Baynes is Treasurer, and in which,
if they had succeeded, might haVe created a monopoly in one
of the principal articles 01 lite, to the great injury of a large
body .of the Inhabitants -'of that neighboUrliod. Mr. Byng
took the lead in support of this Bill, and sat as Chairman for
six weeks "
Mr. Byrig, certainly did sit as Chairman upon that Bill for
six weeks, and then repeatedly, nay almost daily declared,
" that upon his canvass, previous' to the Meeting of Parlia-
ment in December -.1836, he had lost a very considerable
number of vOtes, because he would not pledge himself to
support the East London Water Wi.ie-Rs Bill ;" what, not
pledge yourself to oppose a monopo' y in one'of the most tie.
cessary articles ot. lite ; Mr. Byng ! No ! .Mr.,Byng left the
management of the Bill to his r hen colleague Mr. Ivlainwaring,
Jun. well knoWing that a .scheme which proposed to throw
water from reservoir, at Old Ford, near Strattord, to High-
bury Terrace, and half-way up Highgate-hill, a distance of
four miles, and on an elevation of iBO feet above the level of
the reservoir' (and that had in its vicinity to start in cotnpe-
tition, with the West.kiam Water-Works, Shadwell Water-
Works, and the New River Company, upon a distrid, where
• the Water Rent, as appears by the evidence, averages only
17s. girl. per house per annum, . would not be either Wail
to the PubliC or profitable to the Subscribers; and the Bill
was that Session lost. But when Mr. Byng found Ins party
falling, and hia--oWn unpoptilarity increasing, he seized the'
opportunity of the re-intNduCtion of the Bill last Session, to
regain those votes which he so 'repeatedly said he had' lost
by-not promising to support it, and used every exertion even
to declaring he would make a., personal thing of it,' to get
the Bill through the House, vvnicn he accomplished.
, The' powcrful Company alluded to, did " not want a mo-.
nopoly, ' nor did they ask Parliament fora monopoly—they
askectfor.Protedion,--Proteotion- for Property to the amount
of roo,oool. established and saitetioned by Parliament for tack
years; and -that protedion they asked by .the intruciuthon of
Clause similar to those introduced by Parliament into the
'West Middlesex and South LtindonWatet Work s ills to pro--
tedlthe clielsea and Smith Lambeth Works.—These Bills
Passed in the'years 'lBO4 and
Mr. Byng • set up the, yell of monopoly as the, only means
by which he could succeed in getting :support then .for'the
Bill, and for hiinSelf, When, by a DissolOtioli of Parliament,
he should appeal to the freeholders. Sir C. Baynes is cer-
tainly Trejsuterof the Company adverted to';: but it is only
an honorary
,appointrnent from which he receives no emolu-
ment;. the constitution' of the Company prevents- it. The
Act which establish..lsiit, iiiretas,'. that all Adions or Suits
shall be brought, or defepded, in the name of the Treasurer.;
lie gets the 'trouble, but no profit by_ it.. .
