Politics
Alfred Boughton entered the Queensland Legislative Assembly on 3 May 1860 when he was elected as the member to represent the electoral district of West Moreton in the 1860 colonial election for the first Parliament of Queensland after separation from New South Wales in 1859. He resigned the seat on 21 December 1860 so that he could take up the position of police magistrate in Drayton. Henry Challinor won the resulting by-election on 12 January 1861.[9][10]
