William Jardine Herries Maxwell
William Jardine Herries Maxwell (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.[2]
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.[3] He regained his seat in 1900, but stood down at the 1906 general election.[3]
