George Morley (MP)

George Morley (1664–1711) was an English (later British) Tory politician, MP for Hindon on three occasions.

[2] During the Visit to England of Russian Tsar Peter the Great in 1698, Morley staged a masquerade and hosted a supper for him, in his chambers at the Inner Temple.

[3] Standing for Parliament at Hindon in 1698, Morley was defeated, with Sir James Howe (Tory) and Reynolds Calthorpe (Whig) elected, and petitioned unsuccessfully against the result.

In November 1701 Howe did not stand, and Morley and Calthorpe were elected unopposed.

In 1702 Morley and Howe were elected, but after accusations of bribery both ways, Morley was found guilty of bribery and his election declared void on 27 November 1702.
