Paul Foley (politician)

Paul Foley (c.1688^[1] – November 28, 1739) was an English barrister and politician, the second son of Paul Foley, sometimes 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.
