WITCH BURNING IN DUBLIN.—On Saint
John's Day, Sunday last, the 24th of June,
about four o'clock in the afternoon, an immense
crowd of men, women, and children (between
300 and 500 persons), were observed rushing
down Marlborough-street, near to Thomas's
Church, shouting and yelling, and tossing up
something in the air, which was sometimes caught
by one, and sometimes by another, and occa-
sionally fell to the earth, where there was a scram-
ble for it, and it was again tossed from one to
another, amidst the most diabolical yells, which
on a nearer approach were distinguished to be
" A witch !" " A witch !" " Burn the witch P'
" Drown the witch !" She proved to be a very
decently-dressed, dwarfish, deformed female,
whom these monsters had suddenly seized upon;
and whenever she fell to the earth, during their
tossings, fiend-like women rushed•upon her with
horrid shrieks, tearing her clothes to pieces, all
parties crying out, " Now we have her!' " Now
we have her " We'll burn or drown her !"
and directing their course to the river. At length
a young gentleman, apparently about 18, after
appealing to several well-dressed spectators to
aid him in saving the poor woman from being
torn to pieces, which they, from terror of the mob,
declined doing—rushed into the midst of these
hell-hounds, and courageously bore the help-
less female under one arm, while with the
other he made his way through the crowd,
who then directed their vengeance against him;
crying out, " The witch's husband " The
witch's husband !"—pushing, pulling, and trip-
ping him, and pelting him with mud, and what-
ever came to their hands : so that he was be-
daubed from head to foot. In making his way
down Cumberland-street, and Mecklenburgh-
street, he appealed to three or four soldiers who
were looking on, who directly surrounded him,
and two gentlemen then aided him, one of them
taking one hand, andher rescuer the other of the
poor sinking dwarf, and pulling her through the
increasing crowd, to the police-office in Henry-
street, for safety, the new escort came in for
their share of mud and abuse. At the Post-
office a few policemen luckily came up, and were
compelled to do ample justice with their sticks
on the savage crowd before they got the poor
creature into the Police-office. She was not able
to speak for some time, from ill usage and terror
—and then returned lively thanks to her de-
scidamedd
liverers ; she gave her name, and said she re-
at No. —, in
withracertel;ataivned,
had been frequently gazed at, so as to distress
Mobrsser that though she
—ved, '
her feelings, she had never before met with vio-
lence. She was sent home the back way, after
some time, with an escort of police. The tran-
saction can be borne testimony to by hundreds
of persons in the neighbourhood above-men-
tioned, for the distuibancs was such, that every
window was thrown up as the savages approach-
ed. And this is in the capital of Ireland ! and
in the nineteenth century.— Warder.
