Col. Kinney recently
hfd hearing before Judge Kane on is .p-
rlca'ion either for a very speedy trial or a
reduction Of the amount of his bail, now fix.
ed at $4,000, but failed in gaining either Oh.
jcct His counsel stoutly commended that
there was nothing in his expedition militat-
'ngin the slightest degree against the Uni
ted States Neutrality Laws aud that the
men nndcr his command were but exercising
the inaliennble right Of peaceful emigration
10 new country. On the part of the pros
ccuti"n, however, il was alleged that ship
Was to be sent out with large amount Of
amnnItiop to meet the alledged .emigrants'
upon their arrival, that military commissions
had already been g-anted to many of them,
and that if the government Was allowed but
n reasonable tilne to procure testimony, tho
warsc nature Of the expedition would be
fully shown.
The discussion resulted in nm agreement
to adjourn the whole case over for trial at
the August tcrm, the defendant in the mean
time TO still give the original amount of bail
for his appearance, but as he incurs heavy
expense for demuragc, every day, the prob
ability is that he will set sail at once, despite
the prosecution.

with the transaction, was discharged.
