Hornsby was born at Hobart, Tasmania in 1857. His family moved to Nelson in 1874 and when the other family members returned to Hobart, he remained in New Zealand.[1]
He was a Member of Parliament for the Wairarapa electorate in the 14th (1899–1902), 16th (1905–1908), and 19th (1914–1919) Parliaments.[2]
He defeated Walter Clarke Buchanan (the Conservative sitting member from 1887) in 1899, but lost to him in 1902 and 1908. Buchanan was later the Reform Party candidate.[3]
Hornsby was defeated in 1919 by Alex McLeod.[4]
