Thomas Hogg and the most interesting buggery case ever.
Thomas Hogg was accused of bestiality after a pig gave birth to two piglets that resembled him. Thomas refused to confess to the crime so the authorities, lacking the required two witnesses in lieu of a confession, sentenced him to lashings and several months of hard labor in prison for other crimes.

A few years earlier, a one eyed man by the name of George Spencer, did confess (and retract his confession) to having a fling with a pig which had given birth to a stillborn one eyed piglet and he was hanged. The sow was put to the sword.
