Minnie CASEY esterday in the Superior
Court, Judge benson presiding, motion to
dissolve the injurc ion granted last summer
against the Amador and Sacramento Canal
Company was argued by the attorneys and
submitted. The ground for asking that the
injunction be dissolved was that dams had
been constructed by defendant of sufficient
size and strength TO retain the debris from
the mines. Also that the aforementioned
company did not DO the damage complained
OF, but that it was done by the parties to
whom the water was Sold Fourteen affida-
Wits were read by counsel for defendant, A
G. Ffesman, aud nineteen by George Cad
walader, counsel for plaintiff. Among the
latter were atidAyits of @. +. Allardt and
l.. A. Bassstt, civil engineers, claiming that
the dams erected were inadequate TO hold
back the tailings from the mines, and that
no dams sufficient for that purpose could be
constructed in that part of tbs country.
Samples OF the material from the mines were
produced and exhibited in Court. The mat
ter was taken under adyisemsnt by the Court.
