George Spencer (New Haven)

Suggest this captures the very catchy bit and avoids the implication in the original hook that lots of others were executed for this reason and poor George was the first Victuallers (talk) 08:15, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

ALT1 or ALT2 are good to go. Adequate expansion within the allotted time. Appropriately referenced article. Hooks supported. No evidence of plagarism from the sources available on Google Books (although the first reference was behind a pay wall and unavailable for me to check, and some pages in the books used were similarly unavailable). Love the hook! Rlendog (talk) 20:04, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
