Frederick Spicer (1820 – 7 May 1905) was a medical doctor and politician in the colony of South Australia. Dr. Spicer was one of five brothers, four having been trained as doctors, and emigrated to Victoria in the early 1850s. He practised in St. Kilda, Victoria for a while before moving to South Australia in 1862 to take a position of House Surgeon with the Adelaide Hospital. He took over the practice of Dr. Taylor at Kensington in 1864, and was followed by Dr. John Benson both as House Surgeon and, in 1866, at Kensington. Spicer next had a practice in Adelaide with Dr. Augustus Davies, formerly of Clare. He was appointed in 1867 to a panel of enquiry into the operation of the Hospital, which, over the objections of the Colonial Surgeon, Robert Waters Moore MRCS (1820–1884), recommended sweeping reforms. He returned to England around 1871 and died at Tufnell Park. ==Politics== He was elected to the Adelaide City Council for Grey Ward in December 1869. His candidacy drew some criticism, as he was a major shareholder in the South Australian Gas Company and a proponent of gas lighting for the City. He was elected a member for The Sturt in the South Australian House of Assembly in February 1870 following the resignation of Richard Bullock Andrews who had accepted the post of Crown Solicitor and Public Prosecutor. He sat until March 1870, with Joseph Fisher as his colleague. He was a candidate at the following election but was unsuccessful. 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「Frederick Spicer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
