And the Jurors aforesaid, on their oath aforesaid, do further

Circuit, is the district and circuit in which the said Thomas
Harrison Baker, John Harleston, Charles Sidney Passalaigue, Henry
Cashman Howard, Joseph Cruz del Carno, Henry Oman, Patrick Daly,
William Charles Clark, Albert Gallatin Ferris, Richard Palmer, John
Murphy, Alexander Carter Coid, and Martin Galvin, were brought and
in which they were found, and is the district and circuit where
they were apprehended, and into which they were first brought, for
the said offense.
E. DELAFIELD SMITH,
Attorney of the United States for the Southern District of New
York.
On Wednesday, the seventeenth of July, the prisoners were brought into
Court to plead to the Indictment, when MR. E. DELAFIELD SMITH, United
States District Attorney, said:
_If the Court please_,--In the case of Baker and others, the prisoners
now at the bar, indicted for robbery on the high seas, I move that they
be arraigned. I may here remark, that I have caused the service of a
notice of this motion upon all the counsel known to me as engaged in
the case; and if any gentleman has not received a notification, the
omission proceeds from the fact that his name has not been given to the
District Attorney. I understand that Mr. Larocque is counsel for one or
two of the prisoners, and that he is in the building.
_Mr. Larocque_ here entered the Court.
_The District Attorney_: I would now renew my motion that the prisoners
at the bar be arraigned under the indictment presented yesterday.
