Ferdinando Pulton
(Redirected from Fardinando Pulton)
Ferdinando Pulton[1] (1536–1618) was an English legal writer, the first to attempt a comprehensive book treating criminal law. This was his De pace Regis et regni, first published in 1609.[2]
Pulton belonged to Lincoln's Inn, but he was a Roman Catholic, so that at that time a legal career was denied to him. He was a student at Christ's College, University of Cambridge.
He wrote also a Collection of Sundrie Statutes (1618). This is credited with making the term Star Chamber common in use.[3] An earlier work was his Abstract of all the Penal Statutes.[4]
He resided in Bourton, Buckinghamshire.[5]
