FRACAS ATWARWICK RACES.—On Monday last,
at the Warwick pclice court, before the Lord Mayor and a
full bench, James Grimshaw, the well-known jockey,
George Milne, trainer to the Marquis of Queensberry,
and George Barry, were severally summoned to answer a
claszge of having assaulted another trainer, named,Cbas.
Rolph, of Little Hinton, Wilts, on Wednesday week, the
second day of the Warwick meeting. Mr. S nape was for
the complainant, and Mr. Passman for the defendant. The
charge against Barry was first proceeded with. The com-
plainant stated that on Wednesday night the 20th inst.
ho went to the Bowling Green Inn, Warwick, where
Grimshaw commenced chaffing him,' told him he had
better go home, as ho had no money, and after some words
Barry jumped up and said, " Into him." Milne then threw
a great coat over his head, and Barry struck him two or
three blows. Theythen dragged him into the passage,
where Grimshaw kicked him several times, and on the
door-step Barry struck him again, and one of the blows
knocked him down. In cross-examination he denied
having first threatened to put Grimshaw on the fire, or
that he had ever been fined for poaching or trespas-
sing in search of game. Mr. Bullock, a surgeon, deposed
that the complainant came to him with a wound or bruise
on his face which had probably been caused by blows. Mr •
Passman having addressed the- bench for the defence
called Mrs. Butler, the sister-in law of the landlord of the
Bowling Green, and Miss Page, the barmaid, bath of
whom deposed that the complainant swore so violently,
and made use of such filthy language, that the landlord
came and turned him out of the house, and they both posi-
tively denied that any coat was thrown over the com-
plainant's bead, or that any one struck him in the bar.
Mr. Passman intimated that ha had several other wit
nesses, but the bench said they bad resolved to dismiss
thO case, without expressing any opinion as to the con-
duct of the parties. The summonses against Grimshaw
and Milne were then withdraarn. • Mr. Passman applied
that Rolph might be taken into custody for having com-
mitted wilful and corrupt perjury, and said Barry was
ready to make the necessary affirmation, but ti.. 43 bench
declined to accede to the application, and Mr. Passman
was understood ,to say that the case would be taken to a
higher court.
MORE FENIAN ALARIIS AT MANCIIESTER.—MAN-
CHESTER, Friday Night.—Late this evening the police ap-
prehended a suspected person, who arrived at London-
road railway station with 45 revolvers packed in two
carpenters' tool baskets. He will be brought before the
magistrates in the morning. The number of strangers who
have arrived by railway during the last day or two excites
some apprehension, as it is believed a Fenian funeral pro-
cession will take place hero on Sunday.
