James Christie Traill JP DL (1826 – 6 February 1899) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.
The son of James Traill senior, he was born in 1826 at Walworth, Surrey. He later studied at St John's College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1848.[2] The following year he made two further first-class appearances for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Gentlemen of England at Lord's and Canterbury in 1849.[2] Traill scored 19 runs in his three first-class matches, in addition to taking 4 wickets.[3]
A student of the Inner Temple, Traill was called to the bar in January 1853.[4] He was appointed to be a deputy lieutenant of Caithness in April 1875,[5] in addition to serving as a justice of the peace for the county.[1] Traill died at Fulham in February 1899. His brothers, George and William, also played first-class cricket, as did his brother-in-law William Hartopp.
