Edward Stillingfleet Cayley (13 August 1802 – 25 February 1862)〔(Peerage.com – Edward Stillingfleet Cayley )〕 was a British Liberal Party politician.〔 Dutton, H. I., and J. E. King (1985) ''An Economic Exile: Edward Stillingfleet Cayley, 1802–1862.'' History of Political Economy 17(2): 203–218. 〕 He was elected at the 1832 general election as a member of parliament for North Riding of Yorkshire, and held the seat until his death in 1862, at the age of 59. He advocated free trade in Parliament and went to Rugby School and Brasenose College, Oxford, thus breaking the Cayley tradition of going to Cambridge.〔''The Gentleman's Magazine'' January–June 1862, 502 online at https://books.google.com/books?id=9FY6AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA502&lpg=PA502&dq=Edward+Stillingfleet+Cayley++Law+Magazine&source=bl&ots=Jpwq0Pt349&sig=JJ0GXVgsTGAQzFs7XT1Z0TtAYUQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nOQiVa_LFpO4oQSo5IG4Bg&ved=0CC4Q6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=Edward%20Stillingfleet%20Cayley%20%20Law%20Magazine&f=false〕 ==Career== After graduating from Oxford, Caley took up residence in North Yorkshire where he engaged in farming. He also undertook studies in history, economics, and philosophy to supplement his "dead language" formal education.〔''Farmer's Magazine'' Vol 21, 1862, 354–356 online at http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=QP4hAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA355&dq=%22newbold+hall%22+yorkshire&hl=en&sa=X&ei=sxl4UZXdK82KONCvgbAF&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22newbold%20hall%22%20yorkshire&f=false.〕 Caley became a "barrister-at-law" with membership in the Inner Temple.〔''The Law Magazine and Review'', Vol X, 1884-5, 95 online at https://books.google.com/books?id=fLkwAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA95&lpg=PA95&dq=Edward+Stillingfleet+Cayley++Law+Magazine&source=bl&ots=aF8v4RBZjC&sig=6jTU2azzMefaVsgZ2DIa2188aJs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nOQiVa_LFpO4oQSo5IG4Bg&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Edward%20Stillingfleet%20Cayley%20%20Law%20Magazine&f=false.〕 As a magistrate and barrister, his doors were always open for counsel. He promoted the Yorkshire and other agricultural societies as a speaker and writer. Thus, Caley became well-known and highly respected by the farmers of his district, so much so that they called on him to represent them in Parliament. He agreed and against a combined Whig and Tory opposition, he won.〔 He was elected at the 1832 general election as a member of parliament for North Riding of Yorkshire,〔 and held the seat until his death in 1862, at the age of 59. As an independent member of Parliament, Caley fought against "inequalities of taxation". He served on the Agricultural distress and Hand-loom weavers committees〔Frederic Boase, ''Modern English Biography: A-H'' (Netherton and Worth, 1892), 37 online at https://books.google.com/books?id=GIVmAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA1635&lpg=PA1635&dq=Edward+Stillingfleet+Cayley++barrister&source=bl&ots=r14y74RsRi&sig=_qMQLCVqwWh9JWe0o7D3pShH-f0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XAwjVajkH9GvogSIiIGwDQ&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Edward%20Stillingfleet%20Cayley%20%20barrister&f=false and ''Farmer’s Magazine'' Vol 21, 1862, 354–356 online at http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=QP4hAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA355&dq=%22newbold+hall%22+yorkshire&hl=en&sa=X&ei=sxl4UZXdK82KONCvgbAF&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22newbold%20hall%22%20yorkshire&f=false.〕 Caley died of heart disease while making the arduous trip to London. The ''Farmer’s Magazine'' gave Caley a glowing obituary as a "farmers' friend", who "stood with the farmers, by the farmers, and for the farmers."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Stillingfleet Cayley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
