THE SQUIRARCUICAL MARAT.--Mr. Thomas
Judkin iizgerald, otherwise flogging" Fitzge-
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 connected by kindred with more than one
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 are a 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 ; ho railed at his prisoner for daring to open WS
mouth after he was condemned. Wright was hurried to
the flogging ladders, which were erected in the main street;
and e.lpecting immediate death, had placed his hat before
his face while he muttered a prayer. Fitzgerald, with big
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 what 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 ell'
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 went
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.--*
