James Pattison (London MP)
James Pattison (1786 – 14 July 1849)[1] was a Liberal Party[2] politician in England. He sat in the House of Commons between 1835 and 1849.[3]
A member of the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers,[4] he was elected at the 1835 general election as one of the four Members of Parliament (MPs) for the City of London,[4] and re-elected in 1837,[5] but defeated at the 1841 general election.[2] He was returned to the Commons two years later, for the same constituency, when he won a by-election in October 1843 following the death of the long-serving Liberal MP Sir Matthew Wood, Bt.[6] He was re-elected in 1847,[7] and held the seat until his death in July 1849, aged 63, at Molesey Grove, near Hampton Court.[1]
