After , investigating the case, Ma'thal Gray, oi this city, informed Mr. Schieiuer that ho wai released with the children. This morning the children, on a writ of habeas corpus, sued out in the city court by a law firm of this city, acting as couuscl of the grandfather of the children, wh'j wished to detain them, were brought before Chief Judge Brown, and after a hearing were remanded to the custody of the Mr. Schreiner.
