Re: cabbage thrower?

In chapter 41 of Nicholas Nickelby I found the incident I was
thinking of, but the vegetables thrown over the wall at Mrs Nickleby
(the object of the madman's desire) consist of first a large
cucumber, then a fine marrow which is followed by "a shower of
onions, turnip-radishes, and other small vegetables."
No cabbages.
