Paul Foley (politician)

Paul Foley (c.1688 [Will of his father Paul Foley refers to 1 January 1709 as shortly after he would be of age. ] – November 28 1739) was an English barrister and politician, the second son of Paul Foley, sometime Speaker of the House of Commons.

Admitted to Lincoln's Inn, he was a member of Parliament for Aldborough from 1713 to 1715. At the general election in 1715 he was elected instead for Weobley, but on petition his election was overturned, and he did not return to Parliament thereafter.
