James Fulton (27 June 1830 – 20 November 1891) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament in Otago, New Zealand and a cricketer.
Biography
On 22 September 1852, he married Catherine Valpy. His wife was to become a prominent suffragette.[1] He played five first-class cricket matches for Otago between 1863 and 1868.[2]
He represented the Taieri electorate from 1879 to 1890 when he retired.[3]
He was a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council in 1891, from 22 January to 20 November when he died.[4] He was appointed as one of seven new members (including Harry Atkinson himself) appointed to the Council by the outgoing fourth Atkinson Ministry; a move regarded by Liberals as a stacking of the upper house against the new government.
