Carrington Smedley (8 October 1808 – 19 May 1895) was a politician in the colony of South Australia. ==History== Carrington was born in Nottinghamshire and served an apprenticeship in the drapery business. He may have been the same Carrington Smedley who was convicted of theft from his employer, Morrison and Co. of Fore Street, Cripplegate. Smedley and his wife and their two daughters emigrated to South Australia on the ship ''Thomas Lowry'', arriving 6 December 1848. (The trip was by all accounts an unpleasant experience for the passengers.) He set up in business in Kapunda and invested heavily in land there. He was elected to the South Australian House of Assembly seat of Light as an associate of J. T. Bagot, and sat from February 1857 to December 1857, when he sold his business to William Lewis and resigned his seat (Lewis was to hold the same seat some ten years later) to visit England. They returned in 1861. He was appointed Justice of the Peace in October 1857. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carrington Smedley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
