POPHAM, SIR JOHN (c. 1531-1607)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 88 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POPHAM, SIR JOHN (c. 1531-1607) , English judge, was born at Huntworth, in Somerset, about 1531. He was educated at Balliol College,
Oxford
 , and called to the bar at the Middle Temple. Concerning his early life little is known, but he was probably a member of the
parliament
  of 1558. He was recorder of Bristol, and represented that city in
parliament
  in 1571 and from 1572 to 1583. He was elected
Speaker
  in 1580, and in 1581 became attorney-general, a post which he occupied until his appointment as lord
chief
  justice in 1592. He presided at the trials of Sir Walter Raleigh and Guy Fawkes. Towards the end of his life
Popham
  took a
great
 
interest
  in colonization, and was instrumental in procuring patents for the London and Plymouth companies for the colonization of Virginia.
Popham
  was an advocate, too, of transportation abroad as a means of punishing rogues and vagabonds. His experiment in that direction, the Popham colony, an expedition under the leadership of his brother George (c. 1550-1608), had, however, but a brief career in its
settlement
  (1607) on the Kennebec river. Popham died on the loth of June 1607, and was buried at
Wellington
 , Somerset.
