A bone to pick, recommended to the several water companies of this metropolis; or a check to avarice, tyranny and opression; in two parts. Part the first being an authentic, or genuine account, what steps the author hath taken to withstand the rapacity of a certain water company, as addressed to some particular Gentlemen under their judicial Capacity, touching their Conduct and Proceedings in this Business. Part the second contains two letters to the above company, respecting the rapid and unreasonable Advance of their Water-Rents; also relating to their arbitrary and uncivil deportment towards their Customers. Lastly, a friendly address to the public (in some measure) stating the trifling Expences of the Water Companies when compared with their excessive Profits; by which the Community may form a shrewd guess, whether imposed upon or not. But this Address is principally intended as an encouragement to a more public and particular Inquiry into this matter; and at the same time to persuade the oppressed to unite in shaking off such tyrannical yoke.
