Lynch (English spelling) lynch law
William Lynch (1742-1820) was a justice of the peace in Virginia, USA. In 1780, as the leader of a citizens' group, he exercised private judicial powers known as "Lynch's law" to punish mobs that were disrupting social order. Charles Lynch (1736-1796), a justice of the peace and farmer during the American Revolutionary War, is also said to have left his name on this term. He is said to have privately tried people who supported Britain and executed them by hanging. Furthermore, James Fitzstephen Lynch, mayor of Galway in Ireland in the 15th century, tried and executed his own son in 1493. This Lynch is also one of the namesakes.

Japanese:
ウィリアム・リンチ(William Lynch。一七四二~一八二〇)▼米国バージニア州の治安判事。一七八〇年に市民グループの指導者として、社会の秩序を乱していた暴徒たちを処罰するため、「リンチの法」(Lynch's law)と呼ばれた私的裁判権を行使した。米独立戦争時代の治安判事で、農場主でもあったチャールズ・リンチ(Charles Lynch。一七三六~九六)も、この語に名を残したといわれる。彼は、英国本国に味方する人々を私的裁判にかけ、絞首刑に処したと伝えられる。さらに、一五世紀のアイルランド、ゴールウェイ市長のジェームズ・フィッツスティーブン・リンチ(James Fitzstephen Lynch)は、一四九三年に自分の息子を裁判にかけて処刑した。このリンチも名祖の一人である。
