Transcription
The N.Y. Daily Advertiser quotes the Traveller [sic] as saying, on authority of a gentleman from Connecticut, that Miss Crandall had dismissed her school, in consequence of the late decision of Judge Daggett. The Brooklyn Unionist of the 10th inst., contains no intimation of that character, and we presume it to be a mistake. Indeed we know, that the School has been visited since the decision, and every thing found going on as usual. Several scholars are about to be added to it.
About this Item
Here William Goodell states that he trusts The Unionist over a major New York City paper. This is of course, somewhat partisan in nature, but it is also, in this case, accurate. The school did not close after Daggett's ruling, but instead flourished for almost another year.
