Oxford, becoming a See also:barrister at See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn in 1774. He entered the See also:House of See also:Commons as member for See also:Poole in 1784, and, with the exception of the See also:short See also:period from 1802 to 18o6, remained a member of See also:parliament- until 1834, although not as the representative of the same See also:constituency. In parliament Taylor showed himself anxious to curtail the delays in the See also:Court of See also:Chancery, and to improve the See also:lighting and paving of the See also:London streets; and he was largely instrumental in bringing about the abolition of the See also:pillory. At first a supporter of the younger See also:Pitt, he soon veered See also:round to the See also:side of See also:Fox and the Whigs, favoured See also:parliamentary reform, and was a See also:personal friend of the See also:regent, after-wards See also:George IV. He was on the See also:committee which managed the See also:impeachment of See also:Warren See also:Hastings; was made a privy councillor in 1831; and died in London on the 16th of See also:July 1834. Taylor is chiefly known in connexion with the See also:Metropolitan Paving See also:Act of 1817, which is still referred to as " Michael AngeloTaylor's Act." Often called " Chicken Taylor " because of his reference to himself as a " See also:mere chicken in the See also:law," he is described by Sir See also:Spencer See also:Walpole as " a pompous barrister, with a little See also:body and a loud See also:voice." Taylor's See also:father, Sir Robert, was the founder of the Taylorian Institution at Oxford.
