In May 1935 during the night, the loft of Mr. John William Matthews was broken into. Seven Tipplers of Macclesfield strain all of grey mottle or light print issue were stolen. John was devastated and literally reduced to tears.

In October of that year, a man called to see John and told him that he had seen some Macs flying in the Wincobank district of Sheffield, identified by the unique Mac style of flying. On investigation, those Tipplers were identical to the family of Macs stolen from John W. Matthews. Being confronted by J.W. Matthews, who was 6 ft 4' and weighing 226 pounds and 2 supporters, the culprit finally had to confess.

The police were never called by the culprit was severely bashed and bruised. All of the stock was confiscated and removed no matter what they were. J.W. Matthews has only one thing to say - "I will be keeping an eye on you!"
