Michell | Lewis | | | A descendant of an old Cornish family. He was born at Plymouth in 1842, and was educated at Christ's Hospital and under private tutor. He was for many years, until June 30, 1902, General Manager of the most important banking institution in South Africa, viz., the Standard Bank of South Africa, Ltd. He represented the Cape Colony at the Mint Conference at Pretoria in 1893, and Rhodesia at the Company Law Conference at Johannesburg in 1902, and at Customs Conference at Bloemfontein in 1903. He was for three years Chairman of the De Beers Consolidated Mines, and is now a Director of the British South Africa Company, and of the Rhodesia Railways (see J R Maguire), in connection with which he undertook a tour through Rhodesia in the autumn of 1902 with Mr Beit , Dr Jameson, and Mr J F Jones—a tour which resulted in many difficulties of the northern settlers being greatly ameliorated. Sir Lewis was elected to fill one of the vacant scats for Cape Town in the Progressive interest in the Cape House of Assembly at the latter end of 1902, and at the general election in Feb, 1904, was returned for the electoral division of Wynberg, entering Dr Jameson's Ministry without portfolio, but resigned in 1905 to reside in London. He was JP for Cape Town and District, President of the SA Progressive Association, and a prominent member of various local societies. He was also a frequent lecturer in Cape Town, and closely associated with every movement tending towards political, commercial, and social progress in the colony. During the Boer War he acted as President of the Martial Law Board and Treasurer of the Mansion House Relief Committee at Cape Town. He is one of the trustees of Cecil Rhodes, and was knighted on the occasion of the King's birthday in 1902. He married, in 1870, Maria Agnes, daughter of Edward Philpots, Civil Commissioner of the Cape Service. His eldest son was killed in the Matabele Rebellion while with the BSA Police, and he also lost a son-in-law, Major Scott-Turner, in the siege of Kimberley. | Unknown |
