Adam Jameson

Adam Jameson (5 May 1860 – 12 March 1907) was a Scottish-born physician who was a member of parliament and government minister in both the Australian state of Western Australia and the Transvaal Colony (in present-day South Africa).He remained in the position under Walter James (who became premier in July 1902 following Leake's death in office), but resigned from both parliament and the ministry in January 1903 in order to go to South Africa.[1] The Governor of Western Australia from 1901 to 1902 was Sir Arthur Lawley, who left office when he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the Transvaal.In late 1902, Lawley offered Jameson the position of Commissioner of Lands in his government, which would also make him an ex officio member of the Transvaal Legislative Council.Outside of his friendship with Lawley, he also had another connection with South Africa – his second cousin, Leander Starr Jameson, was a Prime Minister of the Cape Colony.
