A Lancashire tackier suspected someone was stealing his eggs, and, keeping watch, he caught a boy with his cup full. “Tha’ll come wi’ me to th’ police-station,” the tackier said, and marched the lad to the top of a hill on the other side of which the station lay. At this point the lad suddenly began to cry. “What arta blubbering for?” asked the tackier. “Aw’ve left me cap behint.” “Aw reet! Thee run an’ fetch it an’ Aw’ll wait ’ere till tha gets back.” Naturally, the boy failed to return, and shortly afterwards he was caught stealing again and was again escorted to the top of the hill. Though he began to cry at the same point, the tackier was not so easily hoodwinked. “But Aw’ve left mi cap ageeen,” said the lad, “an’ mi mother’ll lather me when Aw get whoam.” “Well, tha deserves leatherin’, mi lad, but tha'll not get me that way ageen. Tha’ll stop ’ere this toime, an’ Aw’ll goo mysen an’ fotch thi cap.”
