John Hick 's younger brother Benjamin also presented to the Society of Arts ; in 1844 , while employed by George Forrester and Company , Benjamin Hick ( 1818-1845 ) outlined his design for an improved double-cylinder marine steam engine , but died prematurely the next year . About 1845 John produced a 1:12 scale model of a high pressure two-cylinder design for a horizontal saw-mill engine , now displayed at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers . He contributed a paper to the institute in 1849 on a friction clutch for connecting and disconnecting the driving power with shafts and machinery . A B . Hick and Son , 1:12 scale patent model of disconnecting apparatus , for screw propellers , c. 1855 is held in the Science Museum marine engines collection .

Bolton Iron and Steel Company In 1860 , partners in B . Hick and Son , John Hick and William Hargreaves joined Thomas Lever Rushton 's brother-in-law Henry Sharp as partners in Sharp and Eckersley , formerly Rushton and Eckersley before Rushton 's retirement from the firm in 1859 . The three partners Sharp , Hick and Hargreaves formed the Bolton Iron & Steel Company ; situated next door to Rothwell 's Union Foundry ( on the site of Bolton 's old bus station ) the company supplied basic metals required by the major manufacturers in the area . Bessemer steel making began about 1860 - four six-ton Bessemer converters were installed during the 1860s , and experiments with the Sieman 's open-hearth process began in 1867 . Rolling , casting and forging equipment was installed , its products included steel deck beams for ships and sheet metal for shovels , during 1865 Bolton Iron & Steel cast the largest anvil block made in England , weighing 210 tons . By 1869 the company was making open hearth steel and manufacturing steam hammers to the design of Francis Webb . Hick 's nephew , Benjamin became a shareholder following incorporation on 9 June 1876 . Mrs Margaret Hick by Francis Grant RA , presented at the Royal Academy of Arts , May 1861 About 1861 society painter Francis Grant produced portraits of John Hick and his wife Margaret , both works eventually hung together in the family home at Mytton Hall .

Hick was an associate of Bolton engineer , artist and photographer Reuben Mitchell ( 1812-1895 ) , and pursued his own interest in photography , he was also a supporter of the artists Copley Fielding , William Powell Frith , Patrick Nasmyth , Samuel Prout , Edward Matthew Ward and others ; the engineer and artist James Nasmyth described John Hick as an " excellent friend " . Hick wrote a history of Timothy Hackworth 's locomotive Sans Pareil and presented the restored engine to the Patent Office Museum ( now the Science Museum ) in 1864 , he also photographed William M. Gowland for Bennett Woodcroft . Gowland was driver of Hackworth 's Royal George and driver of Sans Pareil at the Rainhill Trials . Sans Pareil was previously owned by Hick 's brother-in-law and eventual business partner John Hargreaves Jr ( 1800-1874 ) who had the engine fully repaired and running on the Bolton and Leigh Railway in 1837 . Sans Pareil is now housed at the National Railway Museum 's Shildon Locomotion Museum annexe . In 1867 , Hick first published a paper , reprinted from The Engineer , 1 June 1866 , Experiments on the Friction of the Leather Collars in Hydraulic Presses , that expanded on the work of Dr William Rankine , describing an important series of experiments carried out using a joint invention of Hick and Robert Lüthy ( 1840-1884 ) , a Swiss engineer , initially employed by Hick as a draughtsman and inventor of a hydraulic cotton packing press . Hick 's father was the inventor of the self tightening collar , used universally in hydraulic presses . Parliament On 17 November 1868 Hick was elected as Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Bolton . After election and to avoid a conflict of interest , he immediately resigned his position within Hick , Hargreaves and Co. , the firm were already in possession of government contracts , and withdrew from the Bolton Iron and Steel Company . During this period he stayed in St James 's , Piccadilly , his first wife and family remaining at Hill Top , Belmont an extensive late 18th century manor house rented from a local family .

" He rejoined the Institute of Mechanical Engineers in the same year , proposed by Frederick Bramwell and elected a Member of Council in 1872 . His first wife , Margaret died at Hill Top in July 1872 . For his contribution to the 1873 International Exhibition at South Kensington Hick was presented with a bronze medal , he was a member of the Permanent Committee for the Representation for British Pictures for the 1874 International Exhibition with fellow MPs Henry Bolckow , Alexander Brown , Henry Eaton , Joshua Fielden , William Graham , John Snowdon Henry , John Pender and others .

As a parliamentarian he was frequently consulted by Government on subjects relating to armaments and the construction of boilers for war-vessels , he also served on a Select Committee appointed June 1874 to investigate the testing of chain cable and anchors for the Navy and as Vice President of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers between 1874 and 1876 . On taking up residence at Mytton Hall in 1874 , Hick became a Justice of the Peace for Whalley , Lancashire , he was an executor for the estate of his brother-in-law , John Hargreaves in March 1875 following his death at Silwood Park , Sunninghill 18 December 1874 , two days after Hick 's marriage to Rebecca Ashworth . Widowed with eight children , Hick 's elder sister Mary ( 1813-1878 ) moved to Queen 's Gate , South Kensington , but died there just over 3 years later , 4 January 1878 .

Pollution trial After leaving parliament Hick and Lt Colonel Ralph John Aspinall JP , DL , campaigned against the pollution and poisoning of salmon and trout in the River Ribble and its tributaries by local industry ; Hick raised the issue of pollution in the Ribble during the third reading of the Rivers Pollution Prevention Act 1876 ( 39 & 40 Vict . c. 75 ) . Aspinall and Hick fought a publicised and successful legal battle in the Court of Chancery against the cotton mills of Mitchell and Carlisle during July 1880 leading to a landmark judgement that set a precedent for controlling environmental pollution . The river ran close to Mytton Hall where landlord Aspinall held the fishing rights and John Hick was lessee . The trial was presided over by the Vice-Chancellor of England , Sir James Bacon . In December 1880 Hick and Aspinall received presentations at Mytton Hall from the local angling community in recognition of " ...their services in preventing pollution to the River Ribble and its tributaries " .

Death LNWR engine no . 20 John Hick , built at Crewe Works After some months of failing health , Hick died age 78 at Mytton Hall , Whalley , Lancashire where he lived . Like his father Benjamin , John Hick accumulated a large and valuable collection of art works , some of which was inherited , others purchased from the auction of Benjamin Hick 's estate in 1843 . He devoted his final years at Mytton Hall to compiling an elaborately illustrated catalogue of the collection ; some of these works were auctioned by Christie 's during June and July 1909 following Rebecca Hick 's death in October 1908 . The Hick library at Mytton Hall was dispersed at Capes Dunne & Co . Manchester in November 1909 . Hill Top , the family home Hick shared with his first wife Margaret was destroyed by fire about this time . From the year of his death the London North Western Railway ( LNWR ) produced 10 steam locomotives of the John Hick Class ( 1894-1912 ) ; a Francis Webb design of 2-2-2-2 configuration , engine No. 20 named John Hick . The following 9 engines were named after engineers and inventors , principally from the Industrial and Second Industrial Revolution : No . 1505 Richard Arkwright , No. 1512 Henry Cort , No. 1534 William Froude , No. 1535 Henry Maudslay , No. 1536 Hugh Myddelton , No. 1548 John Penn , No. 1549 John Rennie , No. 1557 Thomas Savery and No. 1559 William Siemens . Hick was unique in that he was the only LNWR director to have a locomotive class named after him in memoriam . Following withdrawal of the John Hick Class in 1912 , during the month of the anniversary of Hick 's death , February 1913 , 5 of 6 names were transferred to the LNWR George the Fifth Class , locomotive No. 752 named John Hick , serving up to 1935 with the London Midland and Scottish Railway ( LMS ) .
