Charles Butler (cricketer)

Charles William Butler (18 September 1854 – 10 June 1937) played first-class cricket for Tasmania in six matches over a 26-year period from 1872–73 to 1898–99. He was born in Hobart, Tasmania and died there as well.

In 1874, the great English cricketer W. G. Grace stayed with the Butler family while on a cricket tour of Australia and Charles Butler became a friend: Grace named his third son Charles Butler Grace after Butler. Butler went into the legal profession, like his father, who was also called Charles Butler, and at his death was reckoned as "one of the best known legal men in Tasmania".
