Talk:Thomas Curson Hansard

Untitled
Was the firm prosecuted or were they sued? There seems to be an interest of Stockwell implied in the wording here. At the time in question private prosecutions were possible even in criminal actions, however it would seem possible that a "civil" suit could have taken place instead.

Who was the eponym – Luke or Thomas?
Thomas’s article says: "In 1829, he added his own name to the parliamentary proceedings, giving it the title Hansard that it bears to this day."

Luke’s article says: "Luke Hansard ... was an English printer ... who gave his name to Hansard, the Journals of the House of Commons which he printed."

They can’t both be right. -- JackofOz (talk) 06:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
