OLD DAILEY, J)F.c. 4. CHARGE OF ARSON. John Clarkc was indicted' for setting fire to his dwelling. house, with intent to defraud the County Fire-office ; a second count stated his intention to be to injure his landlord ; and a third, to injure his lodgers. The trial occupied the Court from ten o'clock in the morn. ing until emit in the evening; but as we have already de tailed the particulars of the accusation, it will not be ne. cessary here to repeat more than an outline of them. The most material witness for the prosecution was a woman named Sophia Wood, who stated that she lived within about four hundred yards of the prisoner's house in Dorrington.street, , Coldbadields. On the night of the fire, shortly before 11 o'clock, she was going, she said, to the Cheshire Cheese public-house, which is opposite the prisoner's shop, for some beer ; but before she went into the public-house, her attention' was attracted to a bonnet in the window of Mrs. Pearson's shop, which is next door to that of the prisoner. In crossing over to look at it; she observed the prisoner, she said, conic out and look up • and down the street. He then returned into his shop, and she observed a sudden glare of light in it. The next movement she beheld the prisoner lean over the counter with a lighted piece of brown paper, or something like it, in his hand, and the flames instantly burst forth in that part of the shop, upon which she called out " Fire ;" and when.she went home she told- Mr. Bird what she had seen. In addition to this woman's testimony, it appeared that the . prisoner gave. vari ous contradictory accounts of the origin of the fire. lie told Acland, surveyor of the County Fire-office, .on the fols lowing day, that he was alone in his shop when the fire burst out from under the stairs with great violence, upon which he jumped over the counter, and the shock was so great as to deprive him of his senses.. lie told Mrs. Pearson the next evening, that he was standing ,behind the counter roc. koning some money, and a spark front,the candle must have dropped on the saltpetre, which exploded and gave him a dreadful blow on the side, and • how he got out lie could scarcely say. He told a person named Lloyd, while at Mrs. Burges's on the night of the lire, that a carboy of turpentine having burst in the cellar, he went down with a candle in one hand, and a canister of gunpowder in the other, and the gunpowder blew up. Anti in a fortnight afterwards, he told a neighbour of the name of !Webster, that the reason why he did not alarm his lodgers. was, because an explosion took place which knocked down, and he was carried away by two gentlemen, insensible. .Besides this, two or three wit nesses deposed as to the scanty state of the stock in the shop immediately preceding the fire. • On the other hand, it appeared that Sophia Wood had been living with another woman's husband, named Bird, fur the last four years, who had lately taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act ; that she had described herself as his wife in her deposi tions at the police-office; and that she had not (except to Bird) Stated to any one that she bad seen Clarke set his house on lire until after Mr. Barber Beaumont had seen her several times On the subject; but, on the contrary, she said to another woman, in reply to an observation of hers while looking at the fire from her own window, that " she did not think Mr. Clarke the kind of person who would set his house on, fire," although she now denied having said any such thing. It further ap peared, that a Tide girl, a customer, was in the shop when the flames burst forth at that part of it which was next the stairs, and a person who was passing by called out to the pri soner to save Ins papers, upon which he leaned over die counter, and wrenching his desk off, he ran over with it to the public. house and returned with the landlord and another person. He entered the shop again to try to save sonic of his stock ; but he presently afterwards staggered out nearly in a state of insensi bility, and was taken over to the public-house, where his live head was bathed in vinegar, and his hands washed. One of his hands was bleeding and swollen, and he continued insensible for more than half an hour.. Upon his recovery,. his agitation writ so great as to affect his intellects, and he luvrillyrecovered his composure the following day. Hence the inconsistency .in his accounts of the fire. Besides this, it was proved by several of the pities from whom he purchased goods, and others who had been in his shop either on the evening ar, or immediately before. the fire, that he had considerably increased his stock latterly, and that his shop was quite filled with kodsle. lie had been lately in treaty for the disposal of the lease and good-will of his premi ses (i n consequence o f hi e b a d h ea l t h), anti he had been offered more flr them than would, when added to the va lue of his stock (which was to be taken by the tenant at a va luation), exceed the sum for which he had been insured. Under such circumstances, he could have no interested motive for committing the crime laid to his charge. Ile received the very hest character from a host of respectable trades-people. The Jury stopped the Learned. Judge in his sumnung up, 'and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. Baron II ut.t.ocir directed that Mr. Clarke should be discharged forthwith. NEV COURT. Bridger !Metier was indicted for having received the sum of 301. from Messfs.Crampin and Charlesworth, for the pur pose of recovering their stolen goods. The prosecutors had just commenced' business as warehousemen, in Wood -street, when the whole of their property was stolen, between the 26th and 27th of October. The prisoner, in conjunction with Salmon and Perry, ofrerod his assistance to procure the restoration of the property, and received 30/. on account. The goods wore never obtained: and when Mr. Crampin applied for the 30/. back, the prisoner made out a bill for expenses, and 104 fir his trouble. Mr. Crampin thinking this an exorbitant charge, went to ask the advice of the Magistrate, wi) immedi ately summoned the prisoner before him, and then committed him for trial: and bound Crampin over to prosecute. On the part of the prisoner, Salmon and Perry stated that in their opi nion the prisoner acted himestly throughout, and that the charge made' by him was moderate, considering his trouble. Many witnesses were called to his character, and after a very able summoning up by the Common Sergeant, the Jury retired for a quarter of an hour, and then returned a verdict of Gitilfy. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. HORRID CRUELTY. On Saturday, Pa Sherhaii a tall athletic Irishman, w as indicted for ill-treating his son ' a'lad about ten years of age .— The prosecution was instituted by the parishes of St. George and St. Oiles.—Comeilius Hower, a parish officer, stated that on the lath Nov. he was passing through Church-street, and tut* the prisoner's son standing crying, surrounded by a crowd; his head was bleeding profusely, and he had a tireatiful cut on his month. Witness took him to the Parish Committee.--Ealw. Sheehan, the lad, stated, that on the above.mentioned day, when he went home to his dinner, his father accused him of having stolen some apples that had been given him, and stripped MM naked, and beat him with a rope. He then took him up by the cars several times, and threw him to the ground. with all his force,' after which he held him on the tire. Ills mo ther-in-law then held his father,. and he ran into the street.— The child was here stripped by one of the officers, and his back shewn to the Jury. There was a mark, about an inch in 'width 'across the back, which appeared to have been burped by the bar of the grate. The sensation the dreadful apprar ance excited cannot be described. The prisoner, in a furious manner, asked the boy, " Did hi not steal a pair of boots ? Did he not steal sixpence Did he not steal apples ?" all which, • rg epn, stated that he examined the boy, a nti r gess, a su been h(l ' a co a y s er i et f l hewithbruises, ain't bursting into tears, he 'answered " No."-- . 111 1) %13 ... ur. d The b which od appeared as ttcross contused.

The City of London, which possesses. considerable property in the neighbourhood, proposes, to. build, on the ground which would be acquire d be the blocking up of the tontine road ; and there are others who tiiink . that both roads ought to be'kept open,: and that the poblii-might have the benefit of them without impairing ,the .efilset,e)f, the new building, and that the opportunity ought to be. talfekof the expiration Of ma.q'of the cit.. leases or. the spot, mak.a e.. handsome approach from Lambeth- •to all the bridges, and also to Southwark. The •sobjeet, led on 'Saturday to,a.very long, desultory, and, in ninny parts, irregular discus.. sion. Air. Slade, who bad taken an active'part (luring the pre= liminary consideration of this business, strongly advocated the propriety of enabling the - city to advance the local improved ments on a suitable scale, by having one main road on the site in front of New Bethlem, instead •of separating the ground into two avenue*, as at present, in which case the city would build on a corresponding scale. This proposition, which had'been front the beginning opposed by a number of Magid strates and others interested in local property, was again red sisted in a vehement manner; and the interests of . private in-; dividuals, particularly publicans and brewers, who are served by the population which throngs into the small houses of- the old neighbourhood, was opposed to the plan of general imd provement. Alr..nedger, the Magistrate, stoutly defended the interest of the Gun public-house, which was affected by the demolition of 17 .small houses it; the neighbourhood. Mr. ' Young' took the same side. Mr. Jones, Marshal of the King's Bench, had also a strong objection to the proposed tan of. the city. Mr. Randle Jackson concurred with the opinions of the majority of the Magistrates, that the arrangement proposed by the Corporation of 'London was inexpedient. lothe end, an amendment was , moved by Mr. Jackson, and seconded by Mr: Young, which bed the efrect.of negativing Mr. Slade's propud shion, and of necessarily thwarting the main plan of the pro., posed local improvement. Considerable doubts were expressed upon the legality of the successfpl amendment, as it was extra,: neous from the specific object of the requisition in pursuance of which the meeting was called. • The clashing of private in , tcrests, and the operation of' influence 'consequent upon them, made the discussion of so confused and contradictory a nature, that it was difficult to understand the real bearings of the question; but the general result, which does not at all conclude the subject, was as we have mentioned. In the course of the dis.: eussion which took place, some individuals gravely complained of the convexity of one part of • the new road, which, as cum pared with the old, made u debar of a few dozen of yards in rhea- surement, in their distance in traversing it, .so as decnsionally to amount to the difference of a sixpenny fare. This ground of, argument was well occupied by Mr. Lawson, the surrey Clerk of the Peace, who stated that he had this comparative distance regularly ascertained by measurement, and painted out theln , convenience which he sustained from it, as halted often to t ransac t business at Union Ilall, and therefore to pass this line ot' road front his residence, called Surrey bodge opposite Chapel.—As the matter stands, the two roads are likely to be opened, supposing that the proceedings of the Surrey Ma. , gistrates and Trustees are on this occasion legal, and of game the intentions of the Cityof London in a great degree frustrated, for making the local improvements commensurate with the cha racter which ought to attach to all the leading avenues of this great metropolis.
