    Thought you guys might find this interesting:
    One of the most humorous crimes is chronicled in Nicky Rossiter’s book, The Little Book of Wexford, in which he tells the tale of Nicholas Kinsella. According to records from the time, Mr. Kinsella was charged with “furious driving of a horse and cart laden with fowl, at Cornmarket, Wexford, causing people to flee for their lives on a public street.” His punishment was a fine of 10 shillings.
