Thomas Penruddock was an English politician.

Sir... espying... went into the corne... found him and hung him up immediately", the source being given as "Mr Anderson", with a note saying that this was a fragment on the "severity of the penal laws", and Mr Anderson was an informant on Irish matters in the life of Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork.
