Cryptic crossword No 1,894

Special Instructions: "Cornucopia". The abundance suggested by 11 8 25 30 has, sadly, been eaten. 30 is thus missing from the wordplay of 8 of the clues. 1 of these clues gives the first name of the culprit, and 1 of the remaining across clues gives the second name. 1 of the words in the remaining down clues gives a quotation from 11 8 25 30 describing the culprit's attitude to such misdemeanours. [Apologies, the multi-entry answer uploaded with incorrect enumeration. This is fixed in the clue text.]

What an extremely impressive construction! The long ‘un fell just over a third of the way through, which helped a lot… but the true depth of your endgame eluded me until I read your note. Oh, bravo 👏 Have you also set barred thematic puzzles? You seem to have the right sort of mind for them! 😁
