THE COURTS.
THE ROBERT AND MINNIE CASE
CONTINUED UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
Proceedings In the Case Yesterday-The
Edelman Cases Again Continued.
Court Notes.

Ricardo L. Trumbull, Geo. A. Burt
and Captain Thos. O'Farrell appeared
in court yesterday for the last time in
several months. Judge Ross had set
Monday as the time for fixing the date
of the trial, giving the attorneys on both
sides from Friday to agree upon some
time suitable to each. When the last
OF the defendants were arraigned it was
the contention of the prosecution that
the trial should take place during the
present term of court, and at as early
date as possible. The case under ordi
nary circumstances would not have been
called till the beginning of next term,
and the defense argued that there was
no reason for rushing it through ahead
of time, particularly as it might be
necessary for them to apply for
commissioner to go to South
America and collect testimony down
there. The point was ably argued last
Friday by Attorney Chas. Page for the
defense and Judge Alex. A. Campbell
for the government. Judge Ross at
that time announced from the bench
that unless the attorneys could agree he
would let the case follow the usual
course. Yesterday morning, therefore,
when the case was called the defense
announced that they were still con-
vinced they should have time and the
trial was set for September 10th.
A return was made in the district
court yesterday on the papers issued to
the marshal in the matter of the libel of
the schooner Robert and Minnie. The
report of the appraisers was also read,
which set the value of the vessel at
$250C. The court therefore set the sum
at which the schooner could be released
pending the proceedings at twice that
amount, or $4,000.
Messrs. Trumbull, Burt, O'Farrell
and Page left for San Francisco last
evening.
THE EDELMAN CASES.
On the motion OF S. M. White, Judge
Smith in department one yesterday con-
tinued the Edelman cases until Monday,
the 8th inst, when they will he set for
trial. Two weeks ago the defense asked
continuance on the ground that Edel
man was ill at San Diego. Yesterday
further time was granted because Hon.
.. M. w ulbS, IIQCllldn utbOlAC(, was
too busy in other courts to attend the
case.
MRS. INIQUIs's PLIGHT.
The arraignment of Mrs. Madrona de
Iniquis, which was set for yesterday in
department one of the superior court,
was continued on motion of the attorney
for the defense, till Saturday the 9th
inst. Mrs. Iniquis is held for trial on a
charge of adultery, and several continu
ances have already been granted be-
cause OF her interesting condition. She
has been separated from her husband
for over year, and is about to be con-
fined.
