James Whittall was a 19th-century

Jardine Matheson & Co. and member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong.[1]

Whittall was appointed an unofficial member in Legislative Council in 1864. After John Dent resigned in 1867, he became the Senior Unofficial Member. He went on leave later that year, and William Keswick held the seat for him until 1872. Whittall remained an unofficial member in the Legislative Council until he resigned in 1875, and Keswick replaced him again.[2]

Whittall was heavily involved with

Jardine Matheson & Co.; the silk trade company in Japan during a time with strong foreign trade restriction.[3]
