James Grimble Groves (24 October 1854 – 23 June 1914) was a British brewer and Conservative politician. He was the son of William Peer Groves, of Springbank, Pendleton, near Salford and was educated privately and at Owen's College, Manchester.〔''Biographies of New Members'', The Times, 19 October 1900, p.10〕 He became chairman and managing director of Groves and Whitnall Limited, owners of the Regent Road Brewery, Salford.〔''Wills'', The Times, 25 September 1914〕 Groves was the chairman of the Salford Conservative Association, and when the member of parliament for Salford South announced his retirement prior to the 1900 general election, he was selected as the party's candidate.〔The Times, 19 September 1900, p.5〕 He held the seat for the Conservatives. In November 1900 a number of arsenic poisonings in the Manchester area were traced to beer from the Groves and Whitnall Brewery, and consequently a large amount of the company's stock had to be destroyed.〔''Arsenic In Beer'', The Times, 1 December 1900, p.8〕 In 1903, he was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Cheshire. Groves only served one term in the Commons, losing his seat to Hilaire Belloc in the Liberal landslide at the 1906 general election. He married in 1878, and made his home at Oldfield Hall, Altrincham, Cheshire. He died in June 1914 aged 59, after a long illness.〔 His son was Robert Marsland Groves, the naval aviation pioneer and senior Royal Air Force commander. == Notes and references == 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「James Grimble Groves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
