The use of mint jelly or sauce on mutton and lamb (note the spelling and clever use of homophony in the pun) probably predates Shakespeare himself, so it's easy to imagine that this particular joke might have been around since at least the actual phrase "on the lam" was popularized in the 30's and 40's by mass media.
A casual search does reveal that Abe Simpson from "The Simpsons" did in fact use this phrase in the episode "The Great Money Caper".
