Richard Hutchison

Richard Hutchison (1812 – September 27 1891) was a New Brunswick businessman and political figure. He represented Northumberland in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal member from 1868 to 1872.

He was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland in 1812 and came to New Brunswick in 1826. He was a lumber merchant in the Glasgow-based firm Gilmour, Rankin & Co which operated on the Miramichi River; by 1852, he was the sole resident partner and he was given control of the operation in 1870. Hutchison represented Northumberland County in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1864 to 1866. He was elected to the House of Commons in an 1868 by-election held after the death of John Mercer Johnson.

His son Ernest later represented Northumberland in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick.
