NOY, WILLIAM (1577-1634)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 842 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NOY, WILLIAM (1577-1634) , English jurist, was born on the family estate of Pendrea in Buryan,
Cornwall
 , in 1577, his father belonging to a family whose pedigree is included in the visitation of
Cornwall
  in 162o. He went to
Exeter
  College,
Oxford
 , but left without taking a degree. He entered Lincoln's Inn in 1594. From 1603 until his death he was elected, with one exception, to each
parliament
 , sitting invariably for a constituency of his native county. For several years his sympathies were in antagonism to the court party. Every commission that was appointed numbered Noy among its members, and even those who were opposed to him in politics acknowledged his learning. A few years before his death he was
drawn
  over to the side of the court, and in October 1631 he was created attorney-general, but was never knighted. It was through his advice that the impost of ship-money was levied. Noy had
long
  suffered from stone, and died in
great
  agony on the 9th of August 1634; two days later.he was buried at New
Brentford
  church. His
principal
  works are On the Grounds and Maxims of the
Laws
  of this Kingdom (1641) and The Compleat Lawyer (1661).
