Trial of Mrs* Hudson.The trial of this woman for commitment for the murder of John Bass of this county came up 0x1 Saturday last, beforo Justices Little, Berry and Turner. Tain appeared for the prosecution and Du Bose for the defendant. The only evidence of much force as we understand was a youth of some twelve years of age, the son of Mr. Bass. He stated that Mrs. Hudson came to his father’s on the morning of the 2d inst., and went into the kitchen. Bass followed her, and asked if she wanted to shoot at him again, rubbing his tist in her face. She drew a pistol and Bass retreated behind the door, she followed and shot him in the left breast. He died instantly. We suppose other witnesses must have been before the court favorable to the prisoner, of which we know nothing, as they admitted her to bail in the nominal sum of $800. Her father, Mr. Josiah Collins, who is a planter of respectable means, stood her security. Her husband, Mr. Joseph Hudson, is now in Milledgeville jail for shooting a man at the city ferry. She demeaned herself during the trial as one who had about as much interest in it as any of the bystanders. She appears to be about twenty-five years of age, is good looking, and has nothing in her countenance that indicates the heart of a murderess.—Sparta Georgian.
