BiographyScott was born in Levuka on 10 April 1876.[1] His father William Scott had originally emigrated to Fiji to be a cotton planter, before qualifying as a lawyer.[2] In his late teens he made six first-class appearances for the Fiji cricket team during a tour of Australia, taking 11 wickets in six matches.[1][3] He was subsequently captain of the Suva Cricket Eleven for many years.[5] When his father died in 1898, Scott took over his legal firm,[2] having been called to the bar in 1899.[4] In his legal role, he was also the colony's acting Attorney General several times.[4] He was also heavily involved in businesses including the Colonial Sugar Refining Co or Burns Philp,[2] and was President of the Suva Chamber of Commerce from 1908 until 1932.[4] In 1900 he married Nellie Weir Lindsay and went on to have four children,[2] one of whom, Maurice Scott, also later served as a member of the Legislative Council. He became a King's Counsel in 1912, and was knighted in the 1928 New Year Honours.[2] Political careerIn 1908 Scott was elected to the Legislative Council in the Suva constituency. He retained his seat until the 1929 elections, when he ran successfully in the new Southern constituency. He retained the Southern seat until stepping down at the 1937 elections when the number of elected Europeans was reduced from six to three. During his time in the Legislative Council, Scott was also a member of the Executive Council for several years.[2] Scott also served as mayor of Suva from 1916 until 1922; a street in the city was subsequently named for him.[5] References1. ^1 Henry Scott ESPN Cricinfo {{DEFAULTSORT:Scott, Henry Milne}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 "A very notable man is dead: Henry Milne Scott, WC, Elder Statesman of Fiji", Pacific Islands Monthly, June 1956, pp61–63 3. ^Roy Morgan (2016) Real International Cricket: A History in One Hundred Scorecards, Pitch Publishing 4. ^1 2 3 "Notable Men of the Pacific" Pacific Island Monthly, September 1930, p6 5. ^[https://www.fijitimes.com.fj/the-streets-of-suva-part-2/ The streets of Suva — Part 2] The Fiji Times, 12 June 2016 10 : 1876 births|People from Levuka|Fijian cricketers|Fijian lawyers|Attorneys General of the Colony of Fiji|Fijian businesspeople|Fijian Queen's Counsel|Members of the Legislative Council of Fiji|Members of the Executive Council of Fiji|1956 deaths |
