- John Douglas held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for Hindon
A John St Ledger Douglas is listed for 1768 - is this the right person?
Appears in a family tree of 'The Family of Badds' dated MDCCCXXIII (1823) as being an MP at that time
Hindon was a parliamentary borough consisting of the village of Hindon in Wiltshire, which elected two Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons from 1448 until 1832, when the borough was abolished by the Great Reform Act. It was one of the most notoriously corrupt of the rotten boroughs, and bills to disfranchise Hindon were debated in Parliament on two occasions before its eventual abolition.
