James Pilkington JP DL (29 August 1804 – 17 February 1890)[1] was a British merchant, cotton manufacturer, and Liberal Party[2] politician.
He served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Blackburn from 1847–1865 and was also Deputy Lieutenant of Lancashire.[3][4]
His assault during a robbery in July 1862 was widely covered in the London press and led to a second London garrotting panic that would last until the start of 1863.[5]
