Edward Hume (25 September 1841 – 24 October 1921) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of William Wheeler Hume, he was born in September 1841 at Scaldwell, Northamptonshire. He was educated at Marlborough College,[1] where he was coached in cricket by Robert Carpenter.[2]
Matriculating at Trinity College, Oxford in 1860, Hume graduated B.A. in 1863. While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Oxford in 1861. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1863, making six appearances and scoring 74 runs, with a high score of 21.[3] [4]
Then admitted to Lincoln's Inn, Hume was called to the bar in 1867.[5] In the same year that he was called to the bar, he also made a first-class appearance for the MCC, against Oxford University at Lord's. Hume made a final first-class appearance in 1879 for the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of Kent at Canterbury.[3] He served on the committee of the MCC from 1881 - 85 and was an examiner of the High Court from 1884.[2] [5] Hume died at Totland Bay on the Isle of Wight in October 1921.
