James Paull (MP)
James Paull (1770–1808) was a Scottish politician and duellist.
==Early life==
Born at Perth, Scotland, he was the son of a tailor and clothier. He was educated at the University of St Andrews, and placed with a writer to the signet at Edinburgh. At the age of 18 he went out as a writer to India, in the ship of Sir Home Popham, and about 1790 settled at Lucknow. Within two years from his arrival he was able to provide an annuity for his mother, then a widow. Paull was involved in a duel with Michael George Prendergast in 1795;〔(historyofparliamentonline.org, ''Paull, James (1770–1808), of 2 Charles Street, Westminster.'' )〕 he was wounded, and in later life lost the use of his right arm. In 1801 he left Lucknow and came to England for a time, but returned again to India in the following year.〔
Prominent in commerce life at Lucknow, Paull was sent to Lord Wellesley as a delegate of its traders. For a time they were on good terms, but they soon quarrelled.〔 The rift almost led to a duel between Paull and Wellesley's friend Thomas Sydenham.〔
