Waster

A thief. "The designation of a class of thieves mentioned along with 'Roberdesmen' and 'Drawlatches' in a statute of Edw. III." (OED).

"It shall never be said whilst I am Bailiff of Southampton, that any waster, riever, drawlatch or murtherer came scathless away from me and my posse."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, White Company (1890).
