"He has been taken now, poor Tommy has, and transported as we hear. His 
tale has remained with me, however; thus I set it down."

All this requires is that Tommy does not return when expected. "as we 
hear" is almost certainly meant to imply hearsay, so someone not 
appearing in the story speaks of Tommy's transportation with conviction 
to someone who relates it to Fagin.
