[Morning News, to-day.] The Wilmington Gazette perhaps is en titled to an explanation of some business letters from this office which not unnatur ally have fallen into its hands. Last Satur day it was reported from the Gazette com posing room that the Sheriff had closed the establishment. One of our clerks, who Is regularly attached to our counting-room, whose name begins with H, and who is not Mr. Hoopes, was instructed, upon the pre sumption that this report was true, to write to some of the advertisers in the Gazette upon the theory that they might be glad to know that our columns were open to their use if they so desired. After the clerk had made a beginning he suggested that the report about the Gazette be mentioned, and Mr. Hoopes assented. The clerk gave the report as a simple fact, whereas he should have qualified it as üü A f parently well-authenticated rumor. On Monday Mr. Hoopes visited the Gazette office for further verification, but did not find the responsible men In. As soon as the Gazette appeared on Monday he acted on that evidence, Mr. Hoopes himself sitting down at once and writing to several gentle men, from whom replies had been received, that this Journal would not accept business offered under a false Impression, that the Gazette had "obtained a new lease of life," and that it was fot them to determine what they would do. Mr. Hoopes has sent for some of these letters ot explanation, and the Gazette is welcome to copies If it detires to publish them. •18.00 Bays a fine corkscrew oyercoat, satin sleeve lining and silk facing, at Star Clothing Hall, 120 Market streets. GENERAL bOCA.I.,NEWS. T O- DAY'S SESSION OF THE CITY COURT. THE GREAT HEIFER OASE ENDED Superior Court Yesterday — The Coe Kugllsh Case Concluded—A Verdlot for the Plain tiff. When the Superior Court convened At S o'clock yesterday afternoon, Geerge Gray, Esq., counsel for plaintiff In theCoe-English case made the closing argument. J udge Houston charged too Jury judgment obtained against John R. as agent of Russell Coe was a judgment against Coe and not Wilson, and that a sale under it was not valid. The question for the jury to determine was whether the stock in question was the property of Rus sel Coe or John R. Wilson. If Wilson was an agent of Coe the property was construct ively In the possession of Coe. If Coe was the owner he was entitled to a verdict, while if the property belonged to Wilson the jury must find for ttwdefendant. If they find for the plaintif! it was not a case for exemplary damages, *s there wae no irregularity about the sale beyond the In - validity, and the defendant evidently con sidered it valid, which was a fatal error. The only damages to be laid were for the value of the stock. The jury must consider also the conflicting testimony in regard to the value of the stock. The case was given to the jury at 605 p. m?, and in a little over halt an hour they re turned with a verdict of agalust the defendant ad ages of $181.04 to the plaintiff. The de fendants will also be chargeable with the costs of all the trials of the case, which are said to amount to $1,200. The case of James T. Veazey vs. James C. Williams, an action for trespass, q. c. f.,was then taken up. William C. Spruance and Clifford James, Esqs., appeared tor the plaintiff, and J. L. V&llandlgham, Esq., for the defendant. Mr. James in opening the case stated to the Jury that the trespass was a forcible entry, about 1870. of the plaintiff on the de fendant's land, plowing It up and cutting down trees thereon. The dispute was one of long standlng;havlng begun in 1864 when the case of Jacquett, then owner of the Veasey property, vs. Williams, was laid be fore a b< ard of arbitrators which established the line between them. The alleged tres pass was a violation of the award of the ar bitrators. Mr. Spruance presented in evidence a copy of the survey made by Daniel Farra under a warrant. Curtis B. Ellison of Pencader bundred, who was one of the Board of Arbitrators in 1864. was called to the stand and described the location of the property in Pencader hundred, after which court adjourned until this morning. that the Wilton guilty of tree d an award of »pass dam Munlolpai Peart. At this morning's session of the Municipal Court Judge Cummins fined Cyrus Halsay, colored, $4 and costs for drunkenness and disorderly conduct and committed Thomas Schoefield for 24 hours ou the charge of being drunk.

Henry Brown, colored, aged 10 years, was dismissed after receiving a reprimand from the Deputy At torney-General, on the charge of assault and battery preferred by John Hannaghan, a white boy about the same age. The two had t>een playing when they betran to fight and Brown hit Hannaghan in the back with a stone, hence the suit. A Hazardous Practice.

On Tuesday last, Robert Hutton, the well known plumber, No. 119 King street, taken before the Municipal Court charged with having stolen a watch from a drunken man who had been to Carroll's saloon on Water street. After waiting at court for some time for the man who had made the charge to appear, Judge dismissed the case saying he did Mr. Hutton would be guilty of such an act, aud those of our citizens who know him coincide with the Judge.

Babnstade, Mass., Dec. 5.-—The trial of Freeman, the Pocaeset fanatic, for the mur der of his little daughter Edith In a relig ious frenzy, was opened here to-day in the Supreme Court. A medical examiner testi fied that Freeman explained the position of the child at the time he struck her and re lated other incidents of the mnrder. He gave as his reason for killing the child that Abraham's faith had overpowered him; that for months be believed Bod had made a direct communication to his children, and lor two weeks believed God had special work for him to do. He founû that the proof of faith was the sacrifice of his younger child. Witness did not think that Freeman, at the time of the murder, was responsible. Alvin Wing testified that he had known He saw him the Freeman twenty years, day following the murder. At that time Freeman dwelt upon the Bible before some twenty-five of his neighbors, and Informed them that Edith was dead in an adjoining room, but that she would rt*e the third day. Freeman's feelings towards the child was affectionate, more so than toward the other children. Freeman's counsel, Mr. Tabor, then presented the defense, Informing the jury that Mr. and Mrs. Freeman would gi their Ideas as they existed at the time of the murder and at present. The witnesses for the defense were called. The substance of their testimony was to the effect that Freeman was affectionate to bis children, and interested In Bible studies and that he allowed his religious devotion to Interfer with his business. Mrs. Freeman, wife of the prisoner, testi fied as to her husband's temperate and affec tionate character. He was i-unstruck in 1876, but was not confined to his bed. He was devoted to Christianity, his devotion Increasing year by y with his business. Hli very much weakened aud In the end he slept but little. He attended prayer meeting on the night before the murder and said he had three visions; they affected him greatly. He told the witness that God had required something of him. She saw him, hours previous to the murder, walking the floor with his child and weeping. Witness' feel ings were the same as her husband's at the time of the tragedy, but presently entirely changed. Dr. Folsom, an expert medical examiner of Boston, testified that he examined Free man and found him insane. At 2.30 o'clock the jury retired and soon returned with a verdict of not guilty, by reason of insanity. Chief Justice Norton then ordered that Free man bo committed to the Danvers Insane Hospital for lite. ear until it conflicted is nervous system was DRAWERS OF MOLARS.
