Peter and two of his sons were famous locally for their behaviour and disregard for the law. "In due course, as the records of the East Riding Quarter Sessions at Beverley progressed, the incorrigibles of Cottingham began to emerge. They were derived from four families, - the Granthams, the Liversedges, the Morrods, and the Plaxtons."

The result was imprisonment in the House of Correction for 6 months, to enter into recognisances of
