Arthur Blyth
Sir Arthur Blyth (19 March 1823 – 7 December 1891) was Premier of South Australia three times; 1864–1865, 1871–1872 and 1873–1875.〔
In 1850 he married Jessie Ann, daughter of Edward Forrest, who survived him with one son and two daughters. He was created a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1877 and a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1886. A good business man of great common sense Blyth was in eleven cabinets and was three times premier. It was, however, a difficult time for legislation and beyond the Torrens real estate act which Blyth supported, comparatively little important legislation was passed in his period.
==Early life==
The son of William Blyth and his wife Sarah Wilkins, he was born at Birmingham, England on 21 March 1823. His formative years were spent in Birmingham, and he was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School, and arrived with his parents in South Australia in 1839 on the "Ariadne" at the age of 16. His father, who was appointed a Justice of the Peace and became a Councillor of the City Corporation in 1840, and afterwards one of the City Commissioners,〔(The Late Mr. Neville Blyth ) ''South Australian Register'' Monday 17 February 1890 p5 accessed 16 November 2011〕 established an ironmongery business in Hindley Street, Adelaide, which Blyth entered with his brother Neville. He interested himself in municipal work and was a member of the central road board. In 1855 he was elected for Yatala in the old legislative council and assisted in framing the new constitution. Early in 1857 he was elected as one of the representatives of Gumeracha in the first house of assembly, and in August became commissioner of public works in the John Baker ministry which, however, was defeated on 1 September. On 12 June 1858 he was given the same position in the Hanson ministry, which remained in power until May 1860. In October 1861 he became Treasurer of South Australia in the Waterhouse ministry which, however, was reconstructed nine days later, when Blyth dropped out. He came back to the ministry, however, as Treasurer in February 1862, and was selected as one of the three representatives of South Australia at the intercolonial conference held shortly afterwards.
He was a member of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society and its president from 1867 to 1868.
