Born in Huddersfield, Blackburne studied at Brasenose College, Oxford. He became a bencher of the Middle Temple, and a King's Counsel. He was appointed as Chief Commissioner of the Corporation Inquiry. He stood in the 1834 Huddersfield by-election as a Whig, winning the seat. In Parliament, he supported a three-year maximum period between general elections, and opposed the Corn Laws. He held his seat until his death, in 1837.[1] [2]
