There were empty oil and turpentine cans standing in the recess. In a stond bottle, near theta, was what appeared to witness to boll mixture of oil and turpentine. The size of the room is fifteen feet by twelve. In a cupboard in the opposite corner of the room was a hat-bOx, filled with smoke, and a waist.. coat on fire and nearly consumed. There was also a cask in the cupboard;-containing oil and turpentine mixed, and on the floor were lying a grreat many pieces of wood and shavings, with pieces of paper and letters steeped in oil. An apron heir burnt, and a sheet of brown paper, .were in the cupboard. 'A crack in the door of the cupboard, through which any person from the staircase might have seen a light if it had been in the cup: board, was stuffed up with rags. A mahogany door which lay on the floor of the room was scorched by some rags dipped in turpentine, which had been laid on it. All the places where the witness observed the- fire were distinct from each other. There was whole, four or five inches.each way, or more, bored in the ceiling of the room through which the laths were ex posed. There were in the room a saw, some planes, locks, and nails.

At half-past 10 witnos was alarmed by a smell of fire, fi t ryt went down stairs, when he found the prisoner's room was on "fire, and assisted in putting ft out. Esther Davis occupied a room opposite , to.the prisoner's.._. She first discovered the fire, and gave the alarm ; the door was then broken open, and the fire put out. John Wood, a sculptor, saw the prisoner on the mght of the fire ; he came at about nine o'clock into a room in which Mrs. Fearne anti the witness were sitting. Mrs. Fearne remarked that there was a strong smell of turpentine. Prisoner quitted the house, anti that about half_past ten, witness. heariug the alarm given by 31i" Davi s , ran tip anti fbund the prisoner ' s room padlocked, w ith a great light under the door.. Witness forced the door op en , water was brought, and the fire got under. He then described the state of the room in nearly the same terms as those used by the witness Fearne. James Skeal was present at the breaking open of the door, and corroborated the testimony of the other witness as to the state of the room; and a brother of the witnesses deposed to same eflixt. Bannister, one of the Westminster firemen, nrrived when the fire had been put out. He was quite sure that the fire could not have been the effect of accident. This witness pro. du , :ed the things which he had found half burnt. An attorney's clerk proved the service of a notice to the prisoner to produce the policy of insurance. This not being produced, Charks Taylor, a .clerk, in the Sun Fire-Office, proved that an application was made to him on the 30th of March, to effect a policy on property at No. 97, in the Strand. Mrs. Fearne was recalled, and proved the handwriting.of the prisoner in the figures on a paper produced by the last witness ; none of the words were written by him. The insurance had been made by him as a dealer in wearing apparel. The whole amount of the insurance was 450/. The case for the prosecution having been concluded, the pri toner, in his defence, denied the comm i ssion ofthe crime imputed to him. lie dwelt upon the improbability of his having done so. 'lle said that the interest he had in P'ennie's house, and the . quantity of woollen cloth and wearing apparel which he tie. posited in that house, justified hirn in effecting an insurance to the amount which had been stated. Those goods he had re. deemed from a pawnbroker to tbe amount of M. The Jury could not doubt that they were worth a much larger sum; he had sold some of them, and removed the rest publicly, and in the face of day, without an attempt at concealment. lie went; on to say, that the fire as it had been discovered was in such parts of the room where it was least likely to do much mischief, and insisted again upon the improbability of his having pursued such means to consummate the oftance charged againathirn. Several witnesses were called who gave the prisoner . a good character. Ali. Justice (lAstr.lr summed up, when another witness appeared to the prisoner's character', Who hail not answered when culled. _ The prisoner then begged the Court to allow him to call wit . 'news who were now in attendance, and :vho would prove that the property of which he was possessed at die time he etlected the insurance was to the full value of the amount of the policy.

Cutheriqe fivi.ng and Ahne Irving, her daughter, was placed at the bar uhder a charge of having cruelly treated, and starved three. children, who were placed under their care as pupils. Mr. ADo X,Pi vs opened the - ease to, the Jury. The defend ant, Catherine Irving, was a person who had- been employed by a Mrs. Bathurst, in the direction of a small charitable in, stitution, supported by that LadY, where a number of young chileren were boarded and educated at a chap rate. - she was in that situation no. blame could be attached to hereo n- duct. but it-was afterwards that the cause of, the present prose cution arose. She had subsequently set up a school on the same principle, and it was for the mode of treatment she then pursued that she and her daughter - now appeared before them. John Scotts.—l am the father of the children mentioned in the indietment by the name of Elizabeth, Sophia,-and Matilda ' - Scutts ; I a4,rreed with the defendant, Cathernie . lrving , to take. my children at 9s. a week ; she lived then opposite St. Giles's Church; she was to board, wash, andlodge them; I was to find, them hated and Itialtlin , ;; I asked her how she could afford to take them - Air so smalra p at 3 z. lad oy_ of - 4; made . upp the deficiency' ; fins was 'au the 17th or for the first three months they were quite well ; r used to see them every day ; at the end of that time I dkcovered that one of the children had got the itch ; the. children were pretty well in body ; that child died ; the other. children have lived ; I never had ,the bed and bedding back ; Catherine Irving was sisters e rs rs o f t o ag il e, 'lrs no . w l a r ‘ ,l 47' r ; d they 3l Y used father ta then known by the name of Weeks.

Nary Rodwell.;—Was a married woman, and • knew the pri soners at the bar; I put a boy and a girl, my. children, at their school; rive shillings and sixpence ,a week was to be paid for them; I went every other day to see them until January 1824 ; then went to Oxford, leaving the children under their care; when I returned I. found bath the children in • n state of starvation, uncovered with wounds, and one of them had lost the first joint of one of her toes; I not take them away from the; sehOol, beeatise my huSband was living with one of the defendants, Catherine Irving ; he continued living with her until the month* she was taken ; my children were sent home then by the defendants ; I went to Oxford by my husband's consent, When I . had-got my children I took them to the parish doctor, 31r. Burgess 4. he is still attending them ; Frederick hunt,: one of the children, was all over. bruises when taken to the Po lice Otlice.—Cross-examined : Duringthe fOur weeks after my • return from Oxford, I went every day to the house of the de.: fendants; they took me before a Magistrate because I wanted my husband ; I called at the house of the defendants, and hroke one of the doors of their room to pieces ; I came and told my husband. that old mother • Irving was an old wretch, and' unless he turned her out of the house, I would break the windows; I never told John Dale Mrs. Arvin- was an old wretch, and kept a houSe of ill fame. For the fortnight after I returned from Oxford, I dined every day with Airs. Irving, if you call it dining. During that time the children dined with me itt the table ; part of the time I brought my dinner with me. Some days I did not. Some days,. when I wen t to the house without any thing, I was not allowed •to see the children. Re-examined ; Since the return of the children to me, I have supported them by the allowance made by my husband, by order of the Magistrate.- Charles Otto, a boy of eight years old, called—l was put to school to Catherin e Irvin;'; t never had victuals enough ; she used to beat m e onc e or tw i ce a wee k ; th ere use d to be black and blue marks on my back ; s} used to heat me with a stick and her fist ; there were four of us slept in the same bed ' • she pawned a pair of my boots ; she asked me to let her ; I did so; I never had them since; I don't know when it was I went there. Cross-examined—Sometimes we had bread and butter, and cheese, and pudding, . but not altogether ; we had breakfast at eight' o'clock in the -Morning, dined at one o'clock or three o'clock, and drank tea at five o'clock and eight o'clock ; we used to take a quarter of an hour at' breakfast and dinner, and ten minutes at tea; we went to' bed sometimes at eight and sometimes at nine o'clock at night. Joseph Burgess, the :medical attendant of St. Giles's work house,-1 saw Otto, Hunt, Bray,. end Rogers, who were chil dren in the house of the defendants ; I went there in cone. quence of a.request of the parish officers. I found about ten children in the school-room ; some looked thin ; those boys I have mentioned were there; they were dirty and squalid, and diseased with the itch; they were ill dressed. The defendants were in the same state • Frederick Hunt was covered with bruises, and his head full of vermin ; he appeared to have been kept without food for some time. Win. Richard Big--I um assistant overseer to St. Oiles s apa. fish ; I went" to the house of, the defendants, and found the children in a deplorable ,state; some were eaten up with itch. Otto was hartily'covered with clothes; when Hunt was taken to the Police Office be ate some milk and bread with great eager. nest; 'there were two bedsteads without bed or beddmg ; in one room there was an infant wrapped up in some bed clothes. The children seemed starved. • Mr. C.l>tt 11.1.3 PS then addressed the Jury for the defendants. ''he charge brought against his clients was one of the most im portant, and dreadful, if it . had been supported in the nut finer which the indictment, and the opening -of his Learned Friend, would Iced them to expect. That had by no means been done. it was said, that the children had been cruelly treated by these defendants; if it was so, the parents must' have been aware of it ; for they, according to their own account, bud been in. the constant habit of calling to see their children. If there had been any of those loathsoine and disguiting appeartusces, which the statements of th e wi t nes ses wou ld make them ima gine, where were the eyes of the parents not to have seen them ? And if they saw them, where were their hearts, their feelings, that they could allow their unhappy offspring to labour so long under such complicated misery Y The tale was too enormous for , anyreasonable being to believe. In fact, the acquittal of the defendants was demanded, by the evidence of the witnesses for the prosecutien. The children had given an account of the number of meals they had, .and when they remembered the scanty pittance which the penury of their parents would allow to be paid for their support, coala it be expected that they were to be supplied with the delicacies of the season ? As to the beating, he, need not make anyobservation, fnr. the Jury ar fathers, must be well able to judge,by the evidence on .gist point, whether the chastisement was more than the frowardness of the children would reasonably require. lie Should leave the case in their hands, perfectly _convinced, that the verdict they would return must be that of Not Guilty. • The CHAIRMAN, having recapitulated the evidence, told the Jury, that the smallness of - the sum paid by the parents for the maintenance of the children formed no part of the case as it regarded the verdict they • should find. The. defendants had undertaken to perform a certain contract, and if they had not done so, the remuneration could not be urged as an excuse for suchconduct. Whether unjustifiable cruelty had been exerted towards them in their mode of treatment, was for them to de termine, and as they were convinced either of the affirmative or the negative so they would find their verdict. The Jury ibund both the defendants Guilty—Judgment de tarred till the last day of the Sessions. It is t► singular incident in the life of the late Dr. E. D. CLAnxx, that, when a boy, he saved his younger brother from drOwning,_aud that brother perished by drowning thirty years afterwards. Yesterday a Comrtion Hall was held for the purpose of electing a fit and proper'person to serve the ofEce of Bridge blaster in the room of Mr. Galibini'.deCeased.• The. attendance of the Livery wa r s morq numerous .than on any former occasion since the geh etict 1 one o'clock the ' fiord Mayor, accompanied -by 'Site NteP Laurie, Mr. Sherif Whittaker, and . the officers of .the Corporation, came in state to the hustings. • The'l.o o MAYon stated the purpose for which he had con- - vened the Hall. His Lordship then, ,with - several Aldermen, retired and left the Livery to their election. Mr. FAV, ELL said, the office to which they had now to appoint one of their own Body did' not require a great deal of labour, and they had been accustomed . to give it to some highly respect- , able Citizen, whose meritorious life, firmness in misfortunes and necessities, recommended him to their notice. lie did no more than his duty when he recommended Mr. Hainworth as a fit person in every respect to receive at their hands the office of Bridge i%lastef. He had been unfortunate in business, it was true, but his character was irreproachisfile ; he had a large fanii 1, who were dependent for support o n th e - exertion.; of his fr y iends that day.. His father was respectable tradesman who of Lae, -trek Co o f Lu OM .T o ,l* the time gehttertAn in ab7cCt fellow citizens with honour as an A iditnlan, rntil his years sad infirmities obliged hint to give up the sown. 'As his last act in public life he was now present to give. :his testimony to the worth of Mr. Hainworth. ' • • Mr. LEE, who is a particularly venerable gentleman, then stepped forteard, anti seconded the motion. He stated that he lien been acquainted with 31r. Dainworth since his infancy, and had ever known him to be diatingniShed for his 7 integrity. He began business with a good fortune,' of which he was de prived by misfortunes in trade.t Mr. Titos. 3100ftti; said that Alie claims of Mr. Oilman, the candidate whom he had to propote, would, he trusted, be con sidered as superior to those of either of the •others, respectable as they doubtless were. Mr. Oilman had been amongst them fin. twenty Vears as a Liveryman ; he had been' Master of the Founders Company, of which there was not . one man who had .seen his conduct that would not now conic forward in his sup port. Ile had been eminent in trade; but by -the re-action which took place in 1815; he lost a large fortune, and his fa mily were ruined for ever. He had a large family of a wife and six children, who had been driven from a station of rank and opulence to ono of extreme necessity. olie of his sons was not only a cripple in body, but imbecile In mind. The Livery were always 'zealous to sucenur those of their brethren who were respectable in,misfortune. They would therefore choose Mr. Gilman, as an . honourable citizen, who hid fallen by a vicissitude.tti-which the - most opulent were liable, and which no foresight could avert. They would prevent his days, which opened in, splendour,. being closed on himself, and children in destitution and misery.—(boud applause.) ' • Mr. Deputy PUrLEN seconded the inotion. • • Several other Gentlernen . allerwards severally proposed Mr. Sparks Moline, Mr. U. Shotler,. Mr. T. D. le, Mr. E. Sage, and Mr. Stephen Adams, as candidates. .• - . The Sheriffs were about to take the spew of hands in behalf of these several candidates, when Mr. Hunt presented himself in front of the hustings. ills appearance was the signal for a dreadful uproar, and - Cries of " Off, off* i—yott have no right to interfere in : the election" He was asked by Sir Peter Laurie for what purpose he wished to• address die Livery? Hunt re plied, that he intended to address them upon the subject which they were then considering—the electiOn ofßridgclllaster. Sir Peter Laurie said, that it' Mr. Hunt confined himself to that subject, be certainly had is right to speak. Mr. Hunt pledged himself to confine his remarks to' that.question. Mr. Sheriff WIIIVEA h Elt then called n,r silence, and having obtained informed the Livery of the pledge which Mr. Hunt had made, and begge&thein to give hurl a patient hear ing so long as he adhered to it. .. 1 Mr. HtiN'r was about to speak, when— Mr. sAvauE, the Common Councilman, exclaimed, " Turn him oil—he has no right to speak—his time is gone by !" Mr. 11 I; X.r —Fellow 'Citizens! 'This Ihtle gentleman says I have no right tospeak—the 'Sheriffs' say 1 have: which shall we attend to. thLt Sheriff:tor the little gentleman ?---4 Loud la ugh ter.)—Mr. Hunt then proceeded, tout asked what those who hissed hint were afraid of, that they %hewed themselves so sensi tive when he made his appearance ? Before they proceeded to the election they should investigate into the nature anti (hides of the office of which they Were about to dispose, in order that they might judge of the fitness of the candidates, and if pos. Bible come to an unanimous vote. It was the duty of the .Bridge Blaster to receive and keep an account of the income from the Bridge }louse estates ' and pay them over into the hands of the Chamb er l a i n . ' In fact he was the representative of the Livery, who se d ut y was to manage " t h e i r " estates, to receive " their" income, and pay it over into the hands of " their" servant, the Chamberlain. It was clear that the pro perty was theirs, anti yet on a former occasion, when he moved to have their accounts printed, there were persona who bad the efTrontery to say that the Livery hail no money whatever at their disposal.-(Hear, hear !)-.-Ile contended that no money could be justly or even legally applied from these estates with out the sanction of the Livery.—(Applause.)—He hoped that the Bridge Master whom they should appoint would not heaitate to divulge to them the state of their property, and let them • know how their aacounut 'stood.
