Who was Ferdinando Pulton?
Ferdinando Pulton 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.
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 wrote also a Collection of Sundrie Statutes. This is credited with making the term Star Chamber common in use. An earlier work was the 1577 Abstract of all the penall Statutes.
He resided in Bourton, Buckinghamshire.
