Hugh Taylor (MP) of contributions to maritime debates. He resigned in 1861 and returned to business. Taylor and George Elliot were both friends of the Railway King George Hudson. By 1869 Hudson was deeply in debt, in bad health and living in exile so Taylor and Elliot started a subscription fund which they launched with donation of 100 Guineas each. When this closed it was converted into a trust fund (legally protected from Hudson's creditors) and provided Hudson with an income. Hudson returned to England in 1870 and visited Taylor at Chipchase Castle in April that year. Hugh Taylor (MP) Hugh Taylor (1817–1900)
