William Aldam (20 August 1813 – 27 July 1890)[1][2] was an English Liberal Party politician and MP for the Yorkshire constituency of Leeds between 1841 and 1847.<br />Aldam studied law at the Middle Temple beginning in 1834 and was called to the bar in 1839 but never practised as a barrister. He became a Justice of the Peace in the West Riding of Yorkshire court of quarter sessions in 1842 and High Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1878.[3]<br />Aldam was noted for promoting the development of railways and canals and for his staunch supporter of free trade.[citation needed] He was born a Quaker but converted to Anglicanism.
