The Right Hon. W. G. Hayter, Q.C., M.P. for Wells, 1850. Portrait from a photograph by Beard, of British politician and lawyer William Goodenough Hayter, Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury. 'As a practical farmer the right hon. member has been eminently successful. His farm of Lindsay, about half-a-mile from Leighton, Bucks, is in the highest state of cultivation, and is a model to the surrounding district for its order, economy, and profitable management. He was one of the council of the Agricultural Society from its commencement until he took office; and, though largely dependant upon land, he voted with Mr. Villiers, in 1839, and on every subsequent occasion, for the total repeal of the Corn-laws; was never absent from a division in favour of Free-Trade, and has always consistently opposed every scheme of protection to agriculture'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
