Charles William Butler (1854-1937) played first class cricket for Tasmania in 6 matches. In 1874 the great English cricketer, W.G.Grace, stayed with the Butler family while on a cricket tour of Australia. Grace named his third son Charles Butler Grace after Butler with whom he had become good friends. In 1878 Butler travelled with the Australian team that went to England but he only played in one non-first class match where he failed to score. Butler went into the legal profession and when he died he was regarded as one of the best known legal men in Tasmania.
