Joseph Eyles

Sir Joseph Eyles (c. 1690–8 February 1740), of Bishopsgate in the City of London, was an English merchant, financier and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1722 to 1740.

His elder brother was Sir John Eyles, 2nd Baronet, also a director of the East India Company.

[2] At the 1722 British general election, Eyles was returned as a Member of Parliament for Devizes, a rotten borough controlled by his family.

In July 1730, Pelham, paymaster of the forces, instructed the Treasury board that it should in future receive proposals from Sir Joseph Eyles for the remittances needed for the forces in Minorca, Gibraltar, and foreign service elsewhere.
