BM,— As I see by an article in the Bournemouth
paper of Saturday last, that "but meet the resent lirse
was the act of an incendiary," permit me, through your
columns, to put the surrounding gentry and the public
on their guard, in the matter of so dangerous • belief.
The fire which horned Lord MAlmesburr's beatb near
R«d Hill was the est of an ineendi.ry. The firm
kindled on heaths held by me in the directioo of Red
Bin and Wallace Down, And thence in the direction of
Bournemouth and Poole, were aU lit by incendiaries.
and moreover, under °over of these area, scoundrels
eere MIPS to carry the burning heath to fresh places to
insure the 64010,11 a wider reach. I know nothing of
the large lire on the other side of the river Stout
beyond Lonsham, but I feel quire sure that the bra at
Corfe was the act of an incendiary, met to the heath on
the passing of • train, to cover the villainous act of
arson. Trustiog you will give this letter publicity.
