About Joseph Tetley

Joseph Dresser Tetley was an English-born New Zealand land owner, sheep farmer, and politician. He was a member of the Marlborough Provincial Council and the New Zealand Legislative Council, both from 1867 to 1869. Tetley arrived in New Zealand after obtaining useful connections there through his wife. He eventually fled from New Zealand, having deceived various investors who lost a combined NZ$7 million converted to today's value. The resulting scandal was discussed in the media and the courts for the following two years, though Tetley himself was never charged, as he had disappeared to South America.
