William Paxton (Australian businessman)
William Paxton (1818 – 1 September 1893) was a South Australian colonist who arrived in 1840, became one of the investors in the Burra copper mines and returned to England in July 1855, a wealthy man.
Some sources give his birthplace as Whitby, Cheshire, or Whitby, Yorkshire but he was christened on 22 February 1819 in Claydon, Oxfordshire, a long way from either, and was a resident of Brighton, Sussex before leaving for Australia,〔(Paxton Title Act )〕 and was a pharmacist by training.

He arrived in Adelaide on 11 August 1840 on the barque "Lalla Rookh".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Passenger List, Lalla Rook 1840 )〕
In November 1840 he took over W. E. Bayldon's chemist shop "Apothecaries' Hall" at the west end of Hindley Street. He was joined by Dr. L. Moore, who had been the surgeon on the "Lalla Rookh". Paxton became embroiled in a criminal prosecution of a medical practitioner over a death from over-prescription of morphine. The medico, who had an alcohol problem, had clearly been negligent in his treatment of the patient (he was attempting a cure of a mental problem with an uncontrolled form of deep sleep therapy), but was exonerated over a technicality: that Paxton had supplied a different species of morphine from that which he prescribed. According to one account, for some reason he refused to pay the first corporation rates so a large jar of some drug was seized from his shop and sold at auction.〔 In March 1844 he reopened as "Paxton's Medical Hall" opposite "Club House" in Hindley Street, with "Paxton Hall" emblazoned across its facade in letters of vitreous china.〔(The Medical Hall ) ''South Australian'' 12 March 1844 p.2 accessed 20 October 2011〕 The business was taken over by his shop manager George Dale in February 1851 and renamed "Dale's Medical Hall",
