The suit instituted by the city OF HobOken to dis.
POSSESS the Hoboken Land and improvement Com
pany OF that part OF Fourth street between River
street and the North River, was concluded yester
day before Judge Bedle In favor OF the city. The
Hoboken Land and Improvement Company had
filled IN to water mark and refused to rellnqulsh
their claim to the property while the city in
sisted on having the street as such an
open highway TO the river. The defendants applied
for nonsuit on the ground that the city could not
maintain the action, but the application was re-
fused. Judge Bedle Ill summing up his charge to
the jury directed them to fnd-drst, that the de-
PENDANTS were guilty as to the whole premises de-
scribed in the declaration down to the nigh water
ine second, that the plaintiffs recover possession
only on the ground that the premises are subject to
the citys right TO easement OF pubic streets; and
thirdly, the jury were 10 find specially whether
the dedication on Loss map was to high
or low water marx. On the first and
second points the verdict was to be given under the

returned verdict in accordance with these insruc
tens and Oh the third rom. ] eccrii that the deica

The Will be carried 20 the Supreme Court, and
the issue Is one or vital Importance to the city OF
H0bOken. This Is only the beginning OF q series OF
suits by the city to compel the H0boken Land and
Improvement Company to surrender their claim TO
every highway OF the city now held by them. HO-
bOken a very fair prospect OF recovering posses
sion OF its valuable water front.

THE JERSEY MURDERS.

Coroner's INQUEST In tho NeIto Cusc Mt Jersey
City-TriaI Of Moses Henry for tho Murder
of NIcMahon mt HobOlkcn.
Coroner volhardt empanelled jury yesterday
afternoon and examined two witnesses In the
case Of the murder OF Henry Noite. The
Inquest was then adjourned TIL to-day.
In the meantime the prisoner Harmed Is kept
in close confinement at the Third precinct
station, no person being allowed to communicate
with him. This Is very mortifying TO the impecu-
NOUS Bohcmians who take up their winter quarters
in jersey. One OF this tribe abused the Sergeant In
charge yesterday morning to his hearts content be-
cause the officer would not allow him to interview the
prisoner and have the latter convict himself out OF
his own mouth. 1t is somewhat singular that both
the alleged murderer and murdered man leave each
wife and three children to the mercy OF the world
Great sympathy Is manifested In every quarter OF
the city for the family OF the unfortunate Note.
In addition to the statements of two police SER
geantS published In yesterdays HERALD the follow
Ing made by Joseph Strenckert may throw some
light on the case. He gives his testimony as fol-

said. 81 don't know who hit me;' then saw that

Mr.. Guth to so back in his place, aud the policeman

in the saloon and took my glass OF beer; while in
there heard that the policeman, Charley Harmed.
