Published in Boston, Mass. each Wednesday by Charles and John M. Spear. This paper includes material on such as: notification of death sentencing of Babe the Pirate, confined in the Tombs, New York City also Pauline the Slave in Louisiana, A Colored Woman, Name Unknownin Delaware and other pending executions to include hangings in, New York, Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Indiana.
