about

The Sack Em Ups were body snatchers, also known as 'resurrectionists' in 19th century Dublin and parts of Britain. At the time there was a thriving trade in recently buried bodies that would be dug up and then sold to the College of Surgeons in order to teach the students about anatomy. Many people feared that after they died their bodies would be dug up by the Sack Em Ups. The famous Dublin street poet/ songwriter Zozimus aka Micheal Moran begged his companion Stony Pockets (so called because one leg was shorter than the other, so they put stones in his pockets to help him stand up straight);

"Oh Stony, Stony
Don't let the Sack-'Em-Ups get me
Send round the hat
And buy me a grave"

We have our own versions of the Sack Em Ups these days who have very few scruples about how they turn a profit but I suppose that's another story.
