time.

Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prosecution. The prisoner
was defended by Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge.
The prosecutor in this case was the brother-in-law of the
prisoner, and resided at Forst-hill, and it appeared
that the wife of the primmer occupied a house ad-
joining. It seemed that the peisoner did not re-
side with hie wife, but he was in the habit of visiting
her once a weak, generally on Saturday, and remaining
till the following Monday. The fire in question took place
on the morning of the 20th of May, and it appeared that
it had originated in three places—the gee pipes having been
cut in two places, and a quantity of turpentine had been
set fire to in another part of the place. The !wideness
against the prisoner wee that he was sees is the oughbour-
hood of the home on the night in question, and could
have gained access to the house, although he denied har-
ing been there, stating that he stopped at his
shop in Gray's-inn-road on the night in question. Upon an
examination being made, a footmark was found upon one of
the flower-beds, which oorreaposded with the prisoner's
boot, and a pair of boots were found at his house, with
some soil on them of a character peculiar to that of the bor-
der where the footmark was found.

The evidence against the prisoner was entirely circum.
