CrazyCholeBlack Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Googling 'coining' and 'Old Baily Archives'. Ohh Mr. Tar, didn't mean to send you off googling at this hour. Coining offences: This category includes a number of offences in which coin or paper money (the king's currency) was counterfeited or interfered with, or individuals either used or possessed such false or diminished currency. These include the specific offences of: * coining (counterfeiting coins) * possessing moulds for the manufacture of coins * manufacturing counterfeit paper money, banknotes or bills of exchange * filing, milling, colouring or "diminishing" coins (in order to use the filings to create more coins or to sell the metal) * possessing counterfeit money or putting it in into circulation ("uttering") Although included here, counterfeiting gold or silver coins was a form of Treason. From The Proceedings of the Old Bailey the single best place if you really want to read about crimes tried in London starting as early as 1674.

William Brand Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 She mentioned that she has a particularly nice period phrase she uses as an insult, but I have yet to learn what it is.
CrazyCholeBlack Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Now I've moved on to re-reading the 1735 canting dictionary. Apparently I'm also sending Mr. Tar & Mr. Red Wake on Googling escapades "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

Asukaru Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Sewing on and off. Trying to get a more 'period' bodice finished up so I can go play with a friend's guild at southern faire for a day. That and so I don't have to wear the bodice I used for Halloween Haunt - which has seen better times. Confessions of a Wicked Wench ~ Myspace! ~ Handlebars @ DeviantArt
