George Herbert Stutfield

George Herbert Stutfield was an English barrister who studied at University College, Oxford, and was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1881. A contemporary legal directory also describes him as a member of the South-eastern Circuit.

He wrote on specialized areas of commercial law, especially gambling and securities practice. His best-known works include The Law Relating to Betting, Time-Bargains and Gaming, written with Henry Strother Cautley, and The Rules and Usages of the Stock Exchange, a practical guide to how the London market operated.

Stutfield's books are valued less as literary works than as sharp, useful handbooks from a period when betting, speculation, and market custom often collided with the courts. For modern listeners, his writing helps bring into focus the legal and financial world of late 19th- and early 20th-century Britain.
