THE SQUIRM, CHICAL MAEAT.—Mr. Thomas
Judkin Fi zgera d, otherwise`' fi'gging" Fvzge-
rald. —At the Tipperary Spring Assizes of 1799, one
Wright brought an action of trespass against Fitzgerald,
the late sheriff. The plaintiff was a teacher of languages
at Clonmel, but connect-d by kindred with more than ono
Irish family of rank. Wright, hearing that he was sus-
pected, and knowing the fearful consequences.of suspicion
hastened to deliver himself up, in the hope that he might
thus save his character and life. But Fitzgerald was not to,
be disappointed of his victim. Be received Mr Wright
with a torrent of abuse, and ordered him to 'fall on his
knees to receive sentence. "You area rebel," said he, " and
a principal in this rebellion. You are to reeeive 500 lashes'
and then to be shot." The poor man begged for time, and
was so rash as to ask for a trial. This aroused Fitzgerald
to fury ; he railed at his -prisoner for daring to open his
mouth after he was condemned. Wright was hurried to
the flogging ladders, which were erected in. the main street;
and expecting immediate death, had placed his bat before
his face while he muttered a prayer. Fitzgerald, with his
own hand, tore away the hat, trampled on it, dragged his
fainting victim by the hair, kicked him, and finally, slashed
him with a sword, drawing blood. Wright was then fas-
tened to the ladder. Fifty lashes had been inflicted, when
a Major Riall came up, and asked a bat Wright had.
done ? The sheriff answered by flinging Riall a note,
taken from the person of Wright, as a justification of
the punishment to which he was subjected. The note was
in French, a language of which Fitzgerald was wholly
ig-
norant, and contained two lines excusing the writer for
having failed in a visiting engagement. Riall assured
Fitzgerald that the note was perfectly harmless; neverthe-
less the lash continued to descend, until the, quivering en-
trails were visible through the flayed flesh. The hangman
was then ordered to apply his thongs to a part of the body
which had not yet been torn, while the sheriff himself Vent
to the general in command of the district for an order to
put his prisoner to death. This order, however, was not
granted, and Wright was ultimately set at liberty.—
