James Pattison (London MP)

James Pattison (1786 – June 1849)[1] was a Liberal Party[2] politician in England. He sat in the House of Commons between 1835 and 1849.

A member of the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers,[3] he was elected at the 1835 general election as one of the four Members of Parliament (MPs) for the City of London,[3] and re-elected in 1837,[4] 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.[5] He was re-elected in 1847,[6] and held the seat until his death in June 1849, aged 63.[1][2]
