LYNCH LAW.
Il May Have Taken Its Name From a

Il May Have Taken It's Name From a
Mayor of Galway.
About the year 1900 one James Fitz-
stephens Lynch was mayor of the town
OF Galway. in Ireland He had sent his
son on trading expedition to Spain
with good cargo and a large sum of
money. The young man returned with
a ship load OF valuable commodities.
which he reported rs having been pur-
chased with the money and with the
proceeds of the outgoing cargo. After
some time a Spaniard came along. de-
handing payment from the mayor for
the goods he alleged had been bought
on credit by his son. The mayor de
clined payment, as his son averred he
had paid in cash for the goods Unfor-
tunately for the latter, sailor who
had been one of the crew on examina-
ton by Mayor Lynch declared that his
unworthy son had spent in reckless
debauchery not only the money intrust-
ed TO him, but the proceeds of the
cargo as we'll; that he had then bought
goods from a large firm on credit. and
that when one of the partners of the
firm came down TO the ship befdfe sail
ing to receive the money young Lynch
murdered the man and had him thrown

his father
The young man was Immediately ar
rested and brought before his father.
who, Notwithstanding the fearful en-
treaties Of his wife and daughters, sen
fenced him To- death. He took him up
stairs in his warehouse, adjusted a
rope around his neck, having first Sc
cured it inside, and then pushed the
young man out of the window. where
his dying struggles were witnessed by
the inhabitants of the town of Galway.
In the town records this entry is yet
to be seen:
lanes Lynch, mayor Of Galway,
hanged his own son out Of the window
for dcfraudng and killing strangers.
without martial or common law, to
show good example to pOsterity"
1t may be from that incident that
lynch law took its name. 1t is not n pc
culiar American Institution, as is com
monty supposed, but has been practiced
in other countries. The English had a
walled town in Devonshire Of the. name
of Lydford, which became noted for
the summary punishments inflicted on
notorious offenders. They became pro-
verbal i'm England as Lydford law,
and ii is not impossible that lynch may
be corruption of Lydford- In Scotland
it was known as "Jedburgh justice"
James Lynch, justice of the peace
in one of the Piedmont counties in vir-
ginia, whose methods were both sum-
mary and severe, is also credited with
having given his name 10 this offhand
and expeditions mode OF dealing with
criminals now generally known as
lynch law.-Pittsburg Gazette
