Npw CAsrrE Nav 9th 1876,

Tho Criminal Comrt-A Question Of In
portance to be argued.
NEW CAsTEE, May 9Th, 1876.
The Criminal Court met and was called
to order, at eleven o'clock. Present, Asso-
ciate Justices Wooten and Houston. The
Jury lists-grand and petit-were called ,and
scperatly sworn. Applicants for liquor H.
cences were directed to 60 into the lawyers
room, whence they would be called, and re-
suired to make the necessary affidavits.
The crowd in the court room was perceptt-
bly diminished in numbers, a. this order
was obeysd. Without entering upon the
business of the term, the court adjourned
in respect for the memory of the lately de-
ceased Chief Justice, until tomorrow morn
Ing at ten o'clock.
It 10 thought that the interesting ques-
ton. whether the Criminal Court can law
fully engage upon the trial Of cases, until
the vacancy in the Office of Chief Justice 10
filed by appointment, will bs argued by
members Of the bar, and judicially deter
mined in the inception of proceedings to-
morrow.
The attendance upon court at this time,
though numerous, is not quite equal to that
present at several late terms, which 10 at
tributable, doubtless, to the fact that there
are no capital cases to engage the attention
of court.
Nothing definite as to who the Chief Jus.
ticc will be is known. epeculations and
coniectures are, therefore, ripe. We must
await developments.

COURT At NEW CASTLE.

Procsedings YesterdGy-The Death OF the
Late chief Justic A,s,sownosd-Adjo"rn-
mont until To-day.
The Court of General Session of the
Peace and Jail Delivery for New Castle
county, opened yesterday morning at eleven
O'Clock. Judges Wooten and Houston oc-
cupied the bench, the former presiding.
The Court room and the vicinity was filed
with rather an unusually large number OF
spectators.
The Court after opening proceeded to ap-
point the usual number of bailiffs, after
which the Grand and Petit Juries were
called. The clerk then proceeded to re-
ceive the affldavits of the applicants Tor
liquor licences.
At about 1880 O'Clock, Judge Wooten
ordered silence in the Court room, and then
proceeded to formally notice the death OF
the late Chief Justice Gilpin - follows:
You are aware of the death of the Chief
Justice, and out of respect to his memory,
we propose to take recess until tomorrow
morning at ten o'clock. The Court cannot
be adjourned as there is business which the
law requires to be done to-day.
The Grand and Petit Juries were then
discharged until to-day.
The absence of Judge Gilpin from the
seat which for twenty years he occupied
was subject of painful remark on every
hand.
The Court room was heavily draped, fes-
toons of mourning hanging ever the Judges
bench and from the chandeliers.
There are no heavy cases this far, all
the cases being larcenies, or violations Of
the liquor law, and the criminal term will
last about nine days.
The Orphans Court met yesterday morn
ing, Judge Wales on the bench. There
was no business of Importance transacted

DOVER, DEL, May 8, 1876.
The fruit growers in this neighborhood
have finally settled the peach question for
this year at least. The most experienced
growers give It as their opinion that there
will be tolerably good crop In this neigh
borhood. The strawberries which we're re-
ported as badly injured, are not materially
hurt.
Hon. Joseph P. Comegys, President of
the State Centennial Commission, and Col.
George B. Dickson went up to Philadelphia
this morning with what material had not
already been forwarded. Col. Dickson ls
to have charge of the Centennial Building
during the exhibition.
The Chief Justiceship discussion In this
vicinity has been stopped by the unquali-
fed assertion that Hon. Joseph +. Come
gys had been offered the position, and
would accept.
A very nice piece of scandal was brought
to light on Sunday evening last. A num-
Der Of gentlemen sitting in front OF the Cap
ital Hotel, observed gentleman of amoroue
iuclnations moving around in such manner
as to attract attention, and shortly he was
seen by one of the employees to 20 up tht
hotel stairs and disappear in the room OF
certain grass widow who has been stopping
at the hotel for some time. Mine host Of
the Capital was at once notified, and al
| instant surrender demanded. As no re-
sponse came, a blockade was determined
| upon, and guards posted at all the outlets
and q capitulation patiently awaited
About four A. M, the patience Of the guarc
was rewarded by signal Of surrender, anc
mine host, and medical gentleman !!
town were invited toa conference wnlcl
resulted in q surrender. The gentleman
proceeded down stairs into the bar room
and took couple of drinks, and feeling
somewhat reassured, looked at the small
est one of his captors and seeing smile OF
his face, asked in no gentle manner, hi
business; that being answered very politely
he made break for his little antagonist
and the result not being as satisfactory q
anticipated, he was more than satlsne'
when the employees of the hotel took hi
little antagonist away. Immediately ate
he retired, and has since been preparln
