Bradley, Walter
Auctioneer and politician who arrived in Sydney with little money before working at an auction house and then starting his own business. He became a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly and was an alderman and mayor at Randwick Council. He became the subject of scrutiny in the Sydney press in 1892, when his wife petitioned for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty.
