James Andrews Miller, QC (July 29, 1839 – November 1, 1886[1]) was a lawyer, judge and political figure in Manitoba.
Unhappy with his salary as judge and that he was not made Chief Justice as promised, Miller resigned from the bench in December 1882.
He was elected for Rat Portage later that year; jurisdiction of part of the area covered by the riding was disputed between Ontario and Manitoba.
However, the judicial committee of the Privy Council ruled in Ontario's favour in July 1884 and Miller was forced to leave cabinet and resign from the assembly.
On October 27, 1886, Miller slipped and fell on the steps of the McKenzie Hotel in Winnipeg, where he was living at the time.
