He held the seat until 1847 when he stood down in order to contest Newcastle upon Tyne, a seat his brother, John Hodgson, was retiring from; he was unsuccessful. Hodgson returned to Berwick-upon-Tweed to contest the 1852 general election and by-elections in 1853 and 1859 but failed to recapture the seat.[10][4] He later returned to parliament for Tynemouth and North Shields, elected at the by-election in 1861 and holding the seat until 1865 when he was defeated.[11][4] RailwaysFrom 1855 to 1866, Hodgson-Huntley was the chairman of the North British Railway Board of Directors.[15] He joined at a time of particular financial discordance, after former chairman John Learmonth had invested heavily in subscriptions to other railways, with huge sums being written off in failed ventures, and similar sized sums were being sought for new ones.[12] Hodgson-Huntley's reign saw the company's financial position significantly improved and, within one year of his chairmanship beginning, operating expenses were cut to 44% and he announced the company was free from debt, and a dividend of 2.5% to shareholders. Although the company's dividends varied during his chairmanship – such as in 1862 when capital commitments again swamped the company's financial resources – they regularly hit up to 3%.[12] Yet, twice in 1866, he proposed a 3% dividend on ordinary shares, only for the share price to decline. On the second occasion, a new company secretary, John Walker, alerted the finance committee to poor company finances. A new preference share issue had been flopped, and it was impossible to pay debenture interest and preference share-guaranteed dividends. This revelation saw ordinary shares fall in value by 8% overnight, and widespread financial impropriety and falsification accounts were blamed on Hodgson, causing a special general meeting on 14 November 1866. Hodgson decided not to attend, instead tendering his resignation from the board, while blaming his non-attendance on a headache.[12] Other activitiesHe also chaired the Tweed Commissions, and a Justice of the Peace for Northumberland.[13] In 1877, until his death, he was High Sheriff of Northumberland.[14] References1. ^{{Rayment-hc|t|2|date=March 2018}} 2. ^{{Rayment-hc|b|2|date=March 2018}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Death of Mr. Richard Hodgson-Huntley|url=https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/searchbna/viewrecord/bl/0000344/18771229/032/0006|accessdate=20 March 2018|work=Morpeth Herald|date=29 December 1877}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Disraeli|first1=Benjamin|authorlink1=Benjamin Disraeli|editor1-last=Gunn|editor1-first=John Alexander Wilson|editor2-last=Wiebe|editor2-first=Melvin George|editor1-link=J.
