James Louis Theodore Guise (26 August 1910 – 18 June 1996) was an English first-class cricketer and solicitor.
Guise was born at Calcutta in British India to John Dougal Guise, an East India merchant.[1] He was educated in England at Winchester College, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford.[2] After graduating from Trinity, Guise became a lawyer. He made one appearance in first-class cricket in 1937 for the Free Foresters against Oxford University at Oxford.[3] Batting twice in the match, Guise was dismissed for 11 runs by Randle Darwall-Smith in the Free Foresters first-innings, while following-on in their second-innings he was dismissed for 7 runs by the same bowler.[4]
He continued to practice law until his retirement in 1969.[5] He was a past president of the Holborn Law Society.[5] Guise died in June 1996 at Lingfield, Surrey. His brother, John Jr., was also a first-class cricketer.
