Sweeney Todd is a fictional villain. A barber and serial killer, the character appears in various English-language works starting in the mid-19th century. His weapon of choice is a straight razor, with which he cuts his victim's throats; in some versions of the story his friend and accomplice, Margery (sometimes Nellie) Lovett, bakes the carcasses into meat pies. Whether Todd or Lovett actually existed remains a matter of debate.Todd's first appearance may have been in a penny dreadful called The People's Periodical, in issue 7, dated November 21, 1846. The story in which he appeared was titled "The String of Pearls: A Romance," and was probably written by Thomas Prest, who created a number of other gruesome villains. He tended to base his horror stories on grains of truth, sometimes gaining inspiration from real crime reports in The Times.It is often claimed nowadays that the Sweeney Todd story is factual, but this is extremely doubtful. According to the tale, Todd was tried at the Old Bailey and hanged at Tyburn in January 1802, before a large crowd. However, no record of the trial can be found in the Old Bailey sessions papers or the Newgate Calendar, nor are there any contemporary press reports either of the trial or of the hanging. As early as 1878 a contributor to Notes and Queries (series 5, vol.10, 21 September 1878) noted this absence of authentic non-fictional sources, and none have since been found. [citation needed] However, an episode in the legend of Saint Nicholas may represent a yet earlier version. This episode, which likely developed in the eleventh century, sees three clerks seeking accommodations for the night. In the night, their host murders them and, on the advice of his wife, decides to dispose of the evidence by baking the clerks into meat pies. The saint eventually resurrects the young scholars.The cannibalistic trait of the story goes back as far as the myth of Pelops, while the moralistic symbolism of eating one’s guests appears in social satire such as Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal. The myth’s imagery of meat pies made from people is almost certainly an allusion to the finale of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus and the original Roman tale on which it was based. There is thought to have been a Jacobin barber who cut the throats of his customers during the French Revolution, though for politics rather than profit. Likewise, the 17th Century Scottish figure Sawney Bean led a family of thieves who are believed to have feasted on their victims. It may be relevant that 'Sweeney' could be considered a typically Irish name, just as 'Sawney' is a Scottish one; ethnic prejudice could underly both legends."The String of Pearls" was made into a play in 1847 by George Dibdin Pitt and opened at the Hoxton Theatre, with the subtitle "The Fiend of Fleet Street" and billed as 'founded on fact'. It was something of a success, and the story spread by word of mouth and took on the quality of an urban legend

CANASTOTA — Margaret Kolodzie will have to wait a little bit longer to see if she will be able to operate an adult day care center in her South Peterboro Street home, though Canastota Mayor Todd Rouse said that he supports an “aggressive timetable” to get language in place that may allow her to do so.
