MA MOIL faosadiary Fire—On Wednesday
morning week some ricks of barley straw and bean
haulm, the produos of eight sores of land, were
burnt down -in a field in the occupation of Mr.
Francis Gillett, at Costs, in this parish. The fire
was first observed by a person named Roles, living
at Stapleton Cross, who was at the railway station at
about five o'clock and it is supposed that it must
hove originated about that time all Roles would
otherwise have observed it in time,
from his
house. A large number of persons speedily col.
looted but all 'Norte to subdue the Raines were
unavailing. Mr. Gillet was insured in the Unity
Fire Otßoe, through Mr. Fool, the local agent. No
doubt a entertained that the rioks were set fire to
by an incendiary I and it is aiugular that about
twelve months ago some straw was burnt down only
two fields from the spot, belonging to Mr. Symes.
We hope the police will keep a watchful eye to
detect, if possible, the perpetrators. It is quite time
that such disgraceful outrages were put an end to.
