Charles looked up at him from the table at which he was sitting, with an open volume of Hansard before him, coldly waving him to a chair an offer which Oswyn, mentally damning his superciliousness, ignored. "My business is very brief," he said quickly; "I can explain it standing." "I understand that it is urgent, Mr. Mr. Oswyn. Otherwise, you know, I am a busy man."
For British Liberty we live over poisonous cesspools, gully-drains, and detestable abominations; and omnipotent London cannot sweep the dirt out of itself. British Liberty produces what? Floods of Hansard Debates every year, and apparently little else at present.
It was for being absent from the state church and worshipping God according to His will, as expressed in the Bible. See Introduction to Pilgrim's Progress, Hansard Knollys edition. 'To ascertain us, in the 17th century meant 'to make us confident, 'to assure us. 'It ascertaining me that I am one of God's children. Hammond. Ed.
When the singing ended, Mr. Crooks's genial voice rose again. "God save Ireland!" he shouted. "And God save England too!" Redmond answered. That exchange of words outside the period of debate is, contrary to usage but very properly, recorded in Hansard. From this time forth Redmond was on his trial. He had given pledges; he must make good to Ireland and make good to Great Britain.
Now, however, for the two great objects of the new tariff, which were declared by Sir Robert Peel to be "the revival of commerce, and such an improvement in the manufacturing interest, as would react on every other interest in the country; and diminishing the prices of the articles of consumption and the cost of living."

Even now in the quiet times in which we live, when public robbery is out of fashion and takes the milder title of a commission of inquiry, and when there is no treason except voting against a Minister, who, though he may have changed all the policy which you have been elected to support, expects your vote and confidence all the same; even in this age of mean passions and petty risks, it is something to step aside from Palace Yard and instead of listening to a dull debate, where the facts are only a repetition of the blue books you have already read, and the fancy an ingenious appeal to the recrimination of Hansard, to enter the old abbey and listen to an anthem!
Earl Grey, in Hansard, 18 July, 1862. Sir Richard Cartwright, Reminiscences, p. 55. A change so informally achieved, and yet so decisive, as the completion of a system of self-government in Canada could not but have far-reaching and unexpected secondary consequences.
As the sale proceeded, the discredit of Hansard became plainer and plainer. For the copyright, including, of course, the goodwill of the name the right to call yourself 'Hansard' for years to come not a penny was offered, and yet, as the auctioneer feelingly observed, only eighteen months ago it was valued at £60,000.
Dawson to alight, then Frank Hansard and Jennie Wynn came in and sat on the bench just behind him. Jennie was laughing in her handkerchief. "There is old Mis' Henshaw," she whispered to Frank; "she's the'r regular stan'-by at shouting. When they begin to call up mourners she commences to clap 'er hands an' shout, then the rest get over their bashfulness an' the fun begins.
He died in 1828, but the business was continued by his family, and to refer to Hansard became the invariable custom when an M.P. was to be condemned out of his own mouth—as Hansard was supposed never to err. Recently Hansard has been carried on by a company, but the old name still remains. Dr.
