During the Victorian period in England hundreds of offences could be punishable by death. These included: spending a month living with gypsies, pick-pocketing, damaging Westminster Bridge, writing a threatening letter, impersonating a Chelsea pensioner, being out at night with a blackened face, maiming cattle, stealing from a rabbit warren and ‘strong evidence of malice’ in children aged 7 to 14.
