For other uses , see Sir Charles Forbes . Sir Charles Forbes Sir Charles Forbes , 1st Baronet ( 1774-1849 ) was a Scottish politician , of Newe and Edinglassie , Aberdeenshire . Forbes was the son of the Rev. George Forbes of Lochell . He was a descendant of Alexander Forbes of Kinaldie and Pitsligo , and was in 1833 served heir male in general to Alexander Forbes , 3rd Lord Forbes of Pitsligo , father of Alexander Forbes , 4th Lord Forbes of Pitsligo , attainted in 1745 . Political career Forbes was educated at Aberdeen University , of which , late in life ( 1814-1819 ) , he was elected Lord Rector . Shortly after leaving the university he went out to India , and became the head of the first mercantile house there , Forbes & Co. of Bombay . His name ranked high in the commercial world for ability , foresight , and rectitude of character . On returning to England , he was elected to parliament for the borough of Beverley , and represented that place from 1812 to 1818 . In the latter year he was returned for Malmesbury , and continued to represent that town until the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832 . As a member of the House of Commons he enjoyed the respect of all parties , for his love of justice , kindly feeling , and plain , straightforward honesty . Though a tory of the tories , he " never allowed his political creed to cloud his fine judgment and keen sense of right and wrong , and his manly spirit was readily engaged in favour of the poor , the weak , and the persecuted " . ^ : 22 He warmly supported catholic emancipation ; and when the Duke of Wellington incurred great unpopularity in 1830 , Forbes pronounced in the House of Commons a warm panegyric on the duke 's conduct . Forbes was one of the earliest to advocate the claims of women to the franchise . In the session of 1831 he asked upon what reasonable grounds they could be excluded from political rights , pointing out that ladies had the power of voting for directors of the East India Company , and maintaining that if the right of voting was grounded on the possession of property , there ought to be no distinction of sex . Forbes was a strong opponent of the Reform Bill of 1831-2 . During the debates in the former session he spoke of the measure as " the vile Reform Bill , that hideous monster , the most frightful that ever showed its face in that house " . He promised to pursue it to the last with uncompromising hostility , and if it were carried to abandon parliament . He put forward an urgent plea for Malmesbury . The borough , after much angry discussion , was left with one member only . Forbes vainly contested Middlesex against Joseph Hume at the general election of 1832 . Philanthropy in India He was most distinguished in connection with India . From his long residence in the East , he knew the people intimately , and he spent a large portion of his fortune in their midst . In parliament and in the proprietors ' court of the East India Company his advocacy of justice for India was ardent and untiring . One of his last acts was the appropriation of a very large sum of money to procure for the inhabitants of Bengal a plentiful supply of pure water in all seasons . His fame spread from one end of Hindostan to the other . When he left India he was presented by the natives with a magnificent service of plate , and twenty-seven years after his departure from Bombay the sum of £9,000 was subscribed for the erection of a statue to his honour . The work was entrusted to Sir Francis Chantrey , and the statue now stands in the town hall of Bombay , between those of Mountstuart Elphinstone and Sir John Malcolm . It was the first instance on record of the people of India raising a statue to any one unconnected with the civil or military service of the country . An address , signed by 1,042 of the principal native and other inhabitants of Bombay , expatiated upon his services to the commercial development of the country and the improvement in the position of the natives . In his private charities Forbes was most liberal ; he was also a munificent contributor to the leading public charities of Scotland . Family Forbes was of a bluff but kindly nature , diffident as to his own merits , of a straightforward and manly character . On the death of his uncle in 1821 , Forbes succeeded to the entailed estates of the Forbeses of Newe , and was created a baronet by patent in 1823 . He married Elizabeth Cotgrave ( d. 1861 ) in 1811 . Forbes died in 1849 . Their eldest son , John , had predeceased his father : the title was inherited by their second son , Charles . Their daughter , Elizabeth , married General , Lord James Hay , second son of the seventh Marquess of Tweeddale .
