ReportDescription: Benjamin ELLINGWOOD Convicted of Manslaughter in the Death of Jacob POLAND.
Date: October 25 1762
Newspaper published in: Boston, MA
We hear that at Salem Court last week one Benjamin ELLINGWOOD was tried for murdering one Jacob POLAND at Beverly on the 16th of August last, by stabbing him; the jury convicted him of Manslaughter only, for which he was burnt in the hand. The Court it is said were of opinion that the crime was aggrivated, and if not murder, that it bordered upon the line of murder; they therefore inflicted the highest penalty the law enabled them to do, viz., to suffer twelve months imprisonment, and to pay costs.Submitted: 11/07/09
