Frederic Whitcombe

Frederic Whitcombe (15 October 1858 – 19 September 1948) was a Member of the Western Australian Legislative Council from 1898 to 1900.

Edward Cephas John Stevens was put in charge of the fund which allowed the Whitcombe boys to attend Christ's College, where Frederic was educated between 1868 and 1875.

[2][3] On 20 May 1869, at St. Peter's Anglican Church in Upper Riccarton, Stevens married Maria Whitcombe.

On 11 May 1898, Whitcombe was elected to a North Province seat in the Western Australian Legislative Council.

The request was granted by the Court of Appeal with the proviso that Whitcombe should sign a declaration stating that money owing in Western Australia be regarded as a debt, despite the statute of limitations, and that he pay costs in New Zealand.
