William Moule

William Henry Moule (31 January 1858 – 24 August 1939) was an Australian lawyer, politician and cricketer.

[1] His cricket career was short, and though he played a few times for Victoria, most of his first-class appearances were on the 1880 tour of England with the Australian team under Billy Murdoch.

Moule's success to that point had been modest – no innings of note and only one wicket – and he played only because Fred Spofforth was injured.

He rose to become a county court judge specialising in insolvency cases, retiring in April 1935, at which point he was the longest-serving member of the bench.

[4] One of their sons, Humphrey Osborne Moule, was killed in the First World War at Lone Pine, one of the main actions of the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign.
