SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.
The trial of Judge Hardy, of 16th District Court, ended
to-day before the State Senate. He was
convicted by the two-thirds majority required by the constitution, for
disloyalty to the Government, in uttering seditious language. A resolution of expulsion from office passed,
21 to 14. The various other charges
against him, such as corruption in office, drunkenness, &c., were not
sustained, although in some cases the majority was against him. The charge of misconduct in the trial of
Judge Terry for Killing Sen. Broderick, failed by the vote. He was the Judge before whom Terry was
acquitted.
