From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Charles Hunter Hedderwick (1850 – 6 February 1918)[1] was a Liberal Party politician in Scotland who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Wick Burghs from 1896 to 1900.
His first electoral contest was when he unsuccessfully fought South Lanarkshire at the 1892 general election.[2]
In his time in Wick Burghs he had a number of fairly close contests with the Liberal Unionists. He fought the seat unsuccessfully at the 1895 general election,[3] won it at a by-election in 1896, but lost it at the 1900 general election. A petition was lodged relating to the 1900 election, but it was withdrawn.[3]
