'''James Maurice Quinton''' (12 May 1874 – 22 December 1922) was an English [[first-class cricket]]er, a right-handed [[Batsman (cricket)|batsman]] who bowled right-arm [[Seam bowling|fast]].<ref>{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/6/6812/6812.html| title = James Quinton | publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | accessdate = 11 April 2013}}</ref>

==Cricket career==
Quinton made his first-class debut for [[Oxford University Cricket Club|Oxford University]] in 1895 against the [[Marylebone Cricket Club]]. That same season Quinton made his [[County Championship]] debut for [[Hampshire County Cricket Club|Hampshire]] against [[Leicestershire County Cricket Club|Leicestershire]].

In 1896 Quinton played his final first-class match for Oxford University, coming against the Marylebone Cricket Club, the team he made his debut against the previous year. Quinton also represented Hampshire in two first-class matches in 1896, against [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]] and [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club|Yorkshire]].

His final appearance for Hampshire came three years later in 1899 in a County Championship match against [[Essex County Cricket Club|Essex]].

==Family==
Quinton's brother, [[Francis Quinton]], also represented Hampshire in first-class cricket. Quinton played alongside Francis in two matches against Sussex and Yorkshire.

==Death==
Quinton's death was unusual and tragic. He was found shot through the top of his head in the lavatory of a first-class carriage of a train from London at [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]] station on 22 December 1922.<ref>{{cite news| title = Schoolmaster shot in express train | newspaper = The Times |issue = 43222 | page = 8 | location = London | date = 23 December 1922 }}</ref> The inquest was told by his older brother Francis Quinton that James had been depressed after a bout of [[influenza]] and had been unreasonably worried over a mistake in his membership of a London club, an apparently trivial matter which he had seen as a potential disgrace for himself and his family.<ref name="inq">{{cite news| title = A Schoolmaster's Delusion| newspaper = The Times |issue = 43223 | page = 7 | location = London | date = 27 December 1922 }}</ref> The coroner returned a verdict of "Suicide during temporary insanity".<ref name="inq"/> At the time of his death, Quinton was described as living in [[Church Crookham]], [[Hampshire]] and as being employed as a schoolmaster at [[Stanmore Park School]], [[Stanmore, Middlesex]], where his headmaster was an Oxford cricket [[Blue (university sport)|Blue]] of an earlier vintage, [[Vernon Royle]].
