Adamson was born in Dublin and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Trinity College in 1849.[2] Following his studies at King's Inns, he was called to the Irish Bar in April 1850. He was admitted to practise at the Victorian Bar on 24 November 1852.
Adamson represented the Murray district in the first Legislative Assembly of Victoria, which assembled in November 1856. On 3 February 1858, he resigned the seat, having accepted the role of Prosecuting Barrister for Melbourne, and was re-elected to the assembly in a by-election on 22 February.[3] In 1859, The Murray was changed to a single-member district, and Adamson contested the new electoral district of Castlemaine but was defeated.
