Superior Court Judge John Hannah, however, shook up those plans when he deemed two of Lake's witnesses — Erich Speckin, a forensic document analyst, and Chris Handsel, a software consultant — irrelevant to the trial.

The aquarium’s director of husbandry, Tim Handsel, says staffers are working closely with the state Department of Natural Resources in helping the turtles recover.

The first Time one comes to a House, the Domestics accost you for something to drink, which is what they call Lucky Handsel; they mump again at New-Years Tide, and in the Month of August, which is what they call la Ferra Gusta, and again when the Mistress of the House is brought to bed of a Son; in short, they find out so many Pretences, that they are perpetually teizing People for Money.

HANDSEL, the O. Eng. term for earnest money; especially in Scotland the first money taken at a market or fair.

Handsels were also presents or earnests of goodwill in the North; thus Handsel Monday, the first Monday in the year, an occasion for universal tipping, is the equivalent of the English Boxing day.
