The son of the barrister Hugh Hill, he was born at St Pancras in July 1832. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He was admitted to the Middle Temple in April 1855 and was called to the bar to practise as a barrister in November 1858, with Hill practising on the North Eastern Circuit.[3] A keen amateur cricketer, he played two first-class cricket matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1857, against Cambridge University and Kent.[4] He scored 21 runs in his two matches, with a highest score of 18.[5] Hill died in October 1899 at his residence in Paddington, following a short illness.[6]
