    Fenton the Hangman
    In 1842 the bridge in Easkey, Co. Sligo was swept away by a terrible flood. The bridge was a narrow one - so narrow that two vehicles could not meet on it. In each parapet was a stone with a circular hole to hold an upright post. Here it was that the local Landlord Fenton used erect his gallows and execute several of his poor tenants. Two uprights were placed in the stones on the parapet. The cross-beam and rope were attached and the unfortunate victim was drawn to the scene of execution on a cart. He stood on the cart while the hangman tied the noose around his neck. This done the driver of the cart drove away and the victim was left to struggle in view of the public.

On his agreeing to act as hangman for Fenton he was released. Later in life it was discovered that he had been co-habiting with his sister and a baby was born. As a punishment for his crime he was sentenced to be hanged and it was his sister who carried out the execution in the old Sligo jail, the site of which is now occupied by the Courthouse. For hanging the brother this woman was paid £5. Marley knew the amount she was to receive and as he stood on the gallows he said "Take the £5 for it's the last chance you'll get of getting anything out of me"
