William Herries Maxwell
(Redirected from William Jardine Herries Maxwell)
William Jardine Herries Maxwell of Munches (4 March 1852 – 31 July 1933)[1] was a Liberal Unionist politician in Scotland.
Maxwell was the son of Wellwood Herries Maxwell of Munches in Buittle and his wife Jane Home Jardine.
Maxwell was elected at the 1892 general election as the member of parliament (MP) for Dumfriesshire, but lost it very narrowly in 1895, when his Liberal Party opponent had a majority of only 13 votes.[2] He regained his seat in 1900, but stood down at the 1906 general election.[2]
