dence was discharged.
Major Bernard Tracey was called up on
variety of charges; among which was
that of threatening the life of the Mayor IN
consequence whereof his Honor gave his
seat to Recorder Regnault, who conducted
his examination. The Major looked de-
cidedly crestfallen, and remained silent
during his examination. Every hair in his
head stood on end, his left eye was
clothed in red, white, and blue, and bis
whole frame was bent over from the effects
of the breaking of twenty-one ribs by his
opponents in the valley prison.
The evidence in the case recounted in
substance the facts given in our account OF
the Majors raid in Saturdays issue, with
the addition of devilish assault upon a
Young man named William Rose, son OF
Mr. Lysander Rose, of this city, with the
butt of his musket. From the evidence OF
DOllCemen IllChS duu huSlC ~ appear Su
that when Barney reached Camp Lee young
Rose was among his pursuers. Tracey got
off, or fell from his horse, and young Rose,
after having caught the animal, approached
Tracey, leading the horse by the bride
AS he got near Tracey the latter raised
his musket and struck the young man with
it full across the chest, knocking him from
his horse. After he fell to the ground
Tracey stood over him, and struck him foul
or five heavy blows, bruising him severely
about the head and body, and rendering
him insensible. He would have killed
him but for his standing so near hin
and the timely arrival Of policemen
Hicks and Angle. Tracey turned upor
the former with his musket raised, bu,
was felled by blow from his club ant
prevented from any further hostilities.
Young Rose being absent and unable tt
attend court in consequence of his inju
ries, and Hon. Robert Ould, counsel fol
Barney, wishing time to show that he wa
not sane man, the case was continued
until Tuesday, and Barney remanded tt
Jail.
Gus Clay, negro, was arraigned to an
swer the charge of knocking policeman
Reins down with a drum-major's staff. Ii
the absence of witnesses for the defence
the case was continued until to-day.
