 | | TAYLOR, MICHAEL ANGELO (1757-1834), English politician, was a son of Sir Robert Taylor (1714-1788), the architect, and was educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, becoming a barrister at Lincoln's Inn in 1774. |
 | | He entered the House of Commons as member for Poole in 1784, and, with the exception of the short period from 1802 to 1806, remained a member of parliament- until 1834, although not as the representative of the same constituency. |
 | | In parliament Taylor showed himself anxious to curtail the delays in the Court of Chancery, and to improve the lighting and paving of the London streets; and he was largely instrumental in bringing about the abolition of the pillory. |
