Sent to America for trying to steal cheesecake and apple pies
Looking through the records of the Old Bailey, which I have discussed in some of my LFW and LFB posts, I came across this interesting case from April 1724:
A man was brought up before the court being charged with stealing 3 shillings worth of cakes - specifically 18 cheesecakes and 12 apple pies. It seems from the evidence that the baker had encountered several thefts from his premises and so put a watch to catch the perpetrator.
Cue Henry Millmash, a former employee - hence the dogs ignoring him after initially barking at him, being caught by the other servants, literally with cheesecake in his mouth.
Interestingly the jury knocked the value of the goods down to 10d; which made the matter petty rather than grand larceny. This deliberate reduction of value was commonplace in this era as the value determined whether you would get the death penalty or not.
Millmash was sentenced to transportation and probably ended up in America. Perhaps he has descendants still living there!

actually that thing they say about if you yell into a pot and close the lid it'll keep the sound in there is true. two archaeologists found this 2 thousand year old ceramic pot and when they opened it they could hear someone's laughter. it's gone forever now though but they said it was cosmic. btw

Brett: Why won't you let me help?
Liam: Because you're a danger to the process.
Brett: That's not true.
Liam: I've got numerous scars that say otherwise.
Brett: I cut you that one- okay two times and I've helped you tons of times.
Liam: You've helped me twice and both times you've cut me.
