_Mr. Sullivan_: May it please the Court, I appear for Captain Baker, the first prisoner named in the indictment. _Judge Shipman_ asked who appeared for the other prisoners. He wished to know if all the prisoners were supplied with counsel; if not, he would assign them counsel. _Mr. Sullivan_ said he did not desire a week's postponement, as he understood his honor had intimated that the Court would adjourn on Wednesday. As to the time of trial, he was authorized and instructed specially to say for Captain Baker that he would ask for no delay other than what was absolutely necessary for his counsel to prepare. He (Mr. Sullivan) hoped that the Court would continue its session specially to hear the case, or at least to try some portion of the defendants. He made that remark on the presumption that the defendants would ask to be tried separately. _Mr. Mayer_ said he appeared for one of the seamen, Wm. C. Clark; and he concurred in Mr. Larocque's remarks. _Judge Shipman_: It is hardly necessary now to discuss when the case will be set down for trial. The motion now before the Court is for the arraignment of the prisoners, and counsel asks for time to plead. I should like to know the names of the counsel who appear for the prisoners. _Mr. Larocque_ said he appeared, in conjunction with Mr. Lord, for Mr. Harleston. _Mr. Ridgway_ appeared for the sailors Carno, Oman, Daly, Palmer, Murphy, Galvin, and Coid; and he, also, concurred in the motion for time to plead. _Mr. Sandford_ appeared for Albert G. Ferris, and desired that the trial should be brought on as speedily as possible. _The District Attorney_: I have a suggestion to make as to the time of pleading. With regard to the indictment, when counsel come to examine it, I think they will find, that although the counts are numerous, yet, after all, the indictment is simple. I would suggest that counsel should examine the record between this and to-morrow morning, and then the prisoners could undoubtedly be arraigned without objection. _Mr. Daniel Lord_: I perceive that the prisoners are brought here to plead in chains. If that is to be repeated each time they are brought here, I would wish to have the time named when they are to plead. _Mr. James T. Brady_ said that he believed the engagement under which he acted, in connection with some other gentlemen, covered the cases of all the accused who had not already been represented before his honor by distinct counsel. _Judge Shipman_: There is no necessity, then, for the Court to assign counsel?
