We've always been rather proud of my great-grandfather who was supposed to have been transported to Australia for shooting a landlord's agent. My cousin's research into the records has suggested that possibly he may not have actually been transported at all, but allowed people to think he had been when he came back home after a few years away.

Still he does seem to have shot the agent. This was in Ireland of course at a time and place when getting transported for something like that was liable to be pretty highly regarded.
