This is all that had transpired up
to yesterday at 11 o'clock, when our reporter
left. At the time of his leaving the case of
the Commonwealth vx. Ezra Hathaway, (of New
Bedford,) for ________________________, was on
trial.
It would seem that New Bedford has
been too strongly represented at the
Taunton Court. The thought that every
criminal case, thus far, had its origin in this
town is rather humiliating to our pride. It
proves one of two things: That our public officers
are more vigilant than those of other towns in the
county; or, That we have had more bad persons
within our precinct.
[Sheriff Gordon arrived from Taunton
last evening with Mrs. Swift, and safely lodged
her in the place to which she was sentenced by the
Court]
--------------------------
P.S.--We learn from the driver of
the late stage from Taunton which arrived last
evening, about 11 o'clock, that the trial of Ezra
Hathaway had concluded, and he was sentenced to
four years hard labor in the State
Prison.
