150 (1833), was a case in the United States in which the defendant, George Wilson, was convicted of robbing the US Mail, and putting the life of the carrier in danger, in Pennsylvania and sentenced to death.

While Wilson refused the pardon, a report in The National Gazette of Philadelphia dated January 14, 1841 suggests that he avoided being hanged—unlike his accomplice—and was in prison for ten years until released.

The Gazette further indicates that Wilson received another pardon from President Martin Van Buren, which he accepted.

[4][5] However, the Smithsonian magazine has written that Wilson was hanged as a result of refusing the pardon.
