William Piddington
William Richman Piddington (1815 – 25 November 1887) was an Australian bookseller and politician. He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly between 1856 and 1877 and a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1879 until his death. He served two brief terms as the Colonial Treasurer of New South Wales in 1872 and 1877.
==Early life==
Piddington came from a family of booksellers and was initially apprenticed to a bookshop in Bond Street London. He emigrated to Sydney in 1838 and after farming for a short time on the Hunter River established a stationary and book shop in Sydney. Philosophically a radical, he became politically active during the 1840s and 1850s and opposed the conservative constitution proposed by William Wentworth. He was a member of the committee of the Anti-Transportation League and an alderman of the Sydney Municipal Council in 1851.
