Dr. Sheridan's account of one MacKay, an Armagh [Ireland]
rogue, who was hanged, Aug 13. 1735.
   Griffith the player, says Sheridan, never made so merry
an exit.  He [MacKay] invited his audience the night before,
with a promise of giving them such a speech from the
gallows, as they never heard; and indeed he made his words
good . . .
