John Ingleby (Australian politician)

[1] He was a member of the South Australian House of Assembly from 1875 to 1877, representing the electorate of Victoria.

In business, he worked as a commission agent, auctioneer and stock broker in Mount Gambier.

His brother, Rupert Ingleby, was a prominent Adelaide lawyer who had migrated two years before him.

[3][4][5] He was elected to the House of Assembly at the 1875 election, but resigned after only two years, stating that he preferred to focus on campaigning for the division of pastoral lands into smaller properties than carrying out the duties of a member of parliament.

His brother Rupert nominated for the resulting by-election, but was very narrowly defeated by Lavington Glyde.
