Lord Lowtherbrought up the Report of the Committee on this Bill; and moved that it be re-committed.
Mr. Byngsaid, that he intended to oppose the measure, because it would be injurious to many of his constituents occupying houses in the Haymarket. It would remove the market so far from its present site as to be a great inconvenience. With respect to those who complained of it as a nuisance, it should be remembered that they came to the nuisance, and not the nuisance to them. He had no objection to the noble Lord establishing another market in the spot he had selected, but he begged of him to allow the old one to remain.
Lord Lowthersaid, that there could be no question that the Market, as now situated, was a nuisance; and in moving it they were only following the example of other towns. Not above half-a-dozen persons would be affected by it. It was true that the inhabitants had come to the nuisance, but at the same time, within the last few years, the nuisance had greatly increased. The distance to which he proposed to remove the market was not great, as it was only on the other side of the New Road, and consequently equally convenient for the West end of the town.
§ The Bill re-committed, and ordered to be taken into consideration before a Committee of the whole House on Monday, April 5th.
