Lynch Law.

said to be traceable to Galway wor.
thy. In l493 one James F'itZStephen
Lynch, 4 mayor OF that city. sentenced
his ewa sea to Geath for murder and
fearing Il rescue. had the culprit
brought home and hanged before his
own door. The tradition may be found
alluded to in Thackeray's Irish Sketch
Book" There are critics, however
who say that the law was in it's origin
essentially American, and they date it
back to Charles Lynch. Virginian
planter Of the seventeenth century.
