Richard Dore (1749–1800) was an attorney, deputy judge advocate and secretary to the governor of the Colony of New South Wales, Australia in the late 18th century. He was the second person to hold office as deputy judge advocate, a position akin to the position of chief justice in the colony, and the first legally qualified person to do so. Author Robert Hughes described Dore as a "blundering and cantankerous incompetent, much given to petty graft" .〔The Fatal Shore p viii〕 In reality, he was probably no worse than other deputy judge advocates who served before or after him. ==Early life and career in England== Dore was probably born in Chipping Ongar, Essex, England in 1749. Whilst his precise date of birth is not known, he was baptized on 21 March of that year. He was the son of William Dore, who was an attorney in the Court of Common Pleas. Dore was indentured as a clerk to his father in his father's practice, and Dore subsequently was admitted as an attorney of the same court as his father on 12 February 1772. On 12 April 1782, he married Maria Nassau at St Marylebone. On 9 September 1797 he was commissioned as deputy judge advocate of the colony of New South Wales, which had been founded just nine years previously. He subsequently sailed for Sydney on the ''Barwell'' and arrived in the colony on 18 May 1798〔http://www.abc.net.au/ballarat/stories/s1109763.htm〕 accompanied by one of his sons. His wife and other children remained in England. 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「Richard Dore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
