Charles Dutton (politician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Boydell Dutton (16 August 1834 – 5 February 1904), was pastoralist and politician in colonial Queensland.^[1]

Dutton was born in Singleton, New South Wales, son of Henry Peterin Dutton, a Hunter River squatter, and his wife Sophia Hume, née Bell.^[1]

Dutton was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Leichhardt from 23 August 1883 to 5 May 1888 and Secretary for Lands from 13 November 1883 to 30 August 1887; Secretary for Works and Mines from the latter date till 12 December 1887; and from that date till 13 June 1888 Secretary for Railways^[2] in the First Griffith Ministry. At the general election in 1888, Dutton was an unsuccessful candidate for the Leichardt district. Dutton, who embraced Henry George's land nationalisation theories, and endeavoured as Secretary for Lands to give some approximate effect to them in legislation, then became a squatter in New South Wales.^[3]

Dutton died on 5 February 1904 in Armidale, New South Wales.^[1]
