Septimus Stephen

Septimus Alfred Stephen (8 May 1842 28 August 1901) was an Australian politician.

He was born in Sydney, the seventh son of Sir Alfred Stephen and Eleanor Martha Pickard. He became a solicitor's clerk in 1858 and qualified as a solicitor in 1864. In 1882 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Canterbury, serving until his appointment to the Legislative Council in 1887. He was severely affected by the 1890s drought, which damaged many of his investments in Queensland. He left the Legislative Council in 1900 and died at Woodhay in Hampshire the following year.[1]
