On Thursday morning, the matter Of
Quaker Alley was taken up, and post,
poned for further consideration uutil next
day. On Friday, the case was argued
fully BY the counsel on both sides, and
the court u ade rule setting the alley
aside. An Habeas Corpus case was then
tried. Andrew j. Stewart. some time
since separated from his wife, and in a
hearing during vacation before his Honor
Judge Dreber, their child was awarded
to the keeping of the wife, with permits
sion to the father to visit and see the chid
occasionally. Stewart now alleges that
the mother of the child, and the mother
parents with whom she is living, refused
hin this privilege: that he has gone re-
pcatedly to see bis child, and was refused;
therefore a writ of babeas corpus issued
to bring the child iDto Court, and hear
ing was bad before bis Honor Judge Bar
ret. The testimony Introduced went
strongly to show that the mother and
ber parents were much better calculated
to take charge Of the child than the faith
er; accordingly the court directed that
the child "a fine looking boy, between
I and s years of age,--be continued for
the present in the possession Of the moth
er, with forfeiture of that privilege, if she
refused at any reasonable time to allow
the father to see the boy; but on the 9TH
er hand directing that If the friends of the
mother at any time, should have aceH
grounded fears, that the father intended
stealing the child, to forbid bis coming
upon the premises.
On Saturday morning. adjourned to
meet at an adjourned session to be bold

The Grand Jurors after examining the
public buildings made the following re-
port:
"With respect TO the Jail. we regret to
say the building, in part at least. is in
dilspidsted state-tbe inner doors bro
ken, aud the stair case and steps partly
torn down and the sinksin very bad
and disorderly situation. In the present
states of the finances OF the county, We
would not recommend any great outlay
of expense, further than to secure the
building against the escape of eonvicts.
ave furthermore would suggest for
the health and comfort of those who ne
cessarily must attend Court, that the pub
lie prisies be cleaned and put in better
condition.
