He then became a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant for Stirlingshire. In 1846, he became chairman of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway.[10][8][9]Political career[edit]A Liberal-Conservative, Blackburn was elected MP for Stirlingshire at a by-election in 1855, caused by the death of William Forbes. In 1859, he was appointed a junior Lord Commissioner of the Treasury, although with little enthusiasm. In correspondence between the-then Chancellor of the Exchequer Benjamin Disraeli and Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby, sent in August 1858, Smith-Stanley said: “Blackburn would be a respectable appointment, but there is no particular reason for him.”[10][11][4]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4He held the seat until 1865 when he was defeated by the Liberal John Erskine.[11] While being recognised as “shrewd, energetic and practical” in his role, his defeat was credited to impolite actions regarding the commercial treaty, the county franchise, and game laws.[8]References[edit]^ Leigh Rayment’s Historical List of MPs \u2013 Constituencies beginning with “S” (part 5)^ a b “Peter Blackburn”.
