Herbert Harley Murray

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Herbert Harley Murray (November 4, 1829 – March 22, 1904) colonial governor was born in Bromley, England and died in England.

Murray was educated at Christchurch, Oxford and entered the civil service in 1852. He was chairman of England's Board of Customs and then acted as a relief commissioner for Newfoundland after the 1894 bank crash. Murray was made governor of Newfoundland in 1895 and knighted that same year.

Murray tried in vain to prevent the sale of the Newfoundland Railway to Robert Gillespie Reid by trying to stop the contract from getting royal assent. Murray was critical of Premier James Spearman Winter's administration and was recalled in 1898.
