[The Times, 26 Jul 1804; pg2; "To the Freeholders of the County of Middlesex."] [ Jeremy Black; " [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=GZhutb8_0N4C&printsec=frontcover George III: America's Last King] "; Yale University Press, 2006; ISBN 0300117329] ]In the 1802 General election, he was opposed by the radical Francis Burdett. Mainwaring had previously resisted Burdett's calls for an inquiry into Prison abuses, particularily at Coldbath Fields Prison. Mainwaring was defeated by Burdett but the election was declared void in 1804 and in the following contest William's son George Boulton Mainwaring was elected. The result was reversed in favour of Burdett in 1805 and the back in favour of Mainwaring Junior in 1806. Mainwaring did not contest the 1807 election and Burdett was not elected.References
