Alfred Sandeman (1 January 1819 – 26 January 1883) was a politician in Queensland, Australia. He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
Politics
The resignation of the sitting member for Port Curtis, Charles Fitzsimmons resulted in a by-election on 15 October 1861, at which Alfred Sandeman was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
However, in February 1863, Sandeman's constituents called on him to resign claiming that he rarely attended parliament and did nothing to advance issues of importance to their district.[2] Sandeman resigned on 11 April 1863, triggering a by-election on 12 May 1863, at which John Douglas was elected.[1][3]
