Backyard Pirates
Woodheap depredations were a frequent occurrence in the district and a friend, James R. Borthwick of Stepney, published this plaintive plea in 1879:
-
[They] are becoming so general and are of such frequent occurrence in our neighbourhood that it is high time for some united action to be taken. No amount of police surveillance could entirely stop the nuisance over such a large district.
It remains then for householders either to form vigilance committees or to take individual action. I have adopted the latter course lately and should any of my nocturnal visitors have their families decimated, or any of their limbs blown off, they may have themselves to thank.
Scattered indiscriminately through my wood pile are carefully prepared billets of wood highly charged with dynamite and only distinguishable from others by marks known to myself and family... Formerly they were contented with stray pieces of chopped wood; then their ideas gradually expanded to larger logs, and now if none is ready they take away the wood axe.
During the past week or two no less than seventeen of my neighbours have lost their axes... My axe went last Thursday night and on Friday morning I had to try at three of my neighbours before I could borrow one, and that was only preserved by being thoughtfully chained to the dog kennel overnight.
Then on Saturday, as all the portable wood had gone, these too-practical jokists borrowed my wheelbarrow for the conveyance of timber and have not as yet returned it. I shall look forward with fiendish joy to the first accounts in your columns of the mutilation of my enemies.
