“There is an ordinary trick at common Inns of Stealing the Horse’s Oats, where, although the Masters be in good condition and honest, yet their Servants rob one another of the Oats committed to their charge, and then make a piece of Gallantry and Jest of it.”—Sollysell’s Compleat Horseman, fol. p. 108. 1717.
