William Francis Lynch (search for this): entry lynch-law
Lynch law,
The name given to the summary operations of a mob, or a few private individuals, independently of the legal authorities.
It is said to derive its name from John Lynch, a farmer, who exercised it upon the fugitive slaves and criminals dwelling in the Dismal Swamp, N. C., when they committed outrages upon persons and property which the colonial law could not promptly redress.
