Maxwell Miller

Maxwell Miller (1832 – 10 April 1867) was a journalist and politician in colonial Tasmania.

Miller was born in London, England, the third son of Robert Miller, a barrister, and his wife Jane Matilde, née Montmorini. Here he gained the Fitzgerald scholarship, which transferred him to Queen's College. In 1852, at the instance of his elder brother William, who had emigrated to Victoria, he sailed for Melbourne.

Soon after Miller's arrival in Melbourne, Dr. Charles Perry, the then Anglican Bishop of Melbourne, offered him the appointment of Secretary to the Diocese.

In 1863 Mr. Miller resigned his seat, and accepted the appointment of assistant-clerk to the House, an office which he held until within a short time of his death, which took place at Hobart on 10 April 1867. Miller was a brother of Robert Byron Miller. He was the author of The Tasmanian House of Assembly: A Metrical Catalogue (Hobart, 1860), a trenchant political satire.
