George Newland

George Newland (c. 1692–1749), of Gatton, Surrey, was a British academic and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1738 to 1749.

Newland was the fourth son of Sir George Newland MP, of Smithfield, London, and his wife Rebecca Turgis, daughter of Edward Turgis, merchant of London.

In February 1727 when he was 35 years old, he was appointed university reader in moral philosophy, and was awarded DCL in 1729.

[2] Newland was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Gatton in succession to his brother at a by-election on 16 May 1738.

His heirs obtained a private Act in 1751, which allowed them to sell the manor of Gatton to Sir James Colebrooke for £23,000.
