At 8 o'clock the ms evening Mr. W. linpy, while

reseting the spot that one of the nefinished lamas. was
completely gutted ad saturated with water from three

respieice to the pareer from these eircurosteror :—A
=turn whose residence is directly in the rear of the
ed building observed, ten minutes previous to the ire
breaking out, a man eteedieg on the top of a ladder Irk* a
survey ; and a person named Hoorn, • arab-maker, in
Hewlett-street, Bow, saw him seoseding it while
another man stood at the bottom whom the first de-
sired not to follow. On coming down almost imme-
diately they left together. Samuel Porter, a sloe*.
mason employed on the building the early part of that
day, gave such a description of • young man he bad
seen come out of the adjoining house r exactly
answered that of the prisoner; consequently, when Mr.
Impey chanced to meet him on the Tuesday following he
questioned him as to his having been co the premier. The
reply was " Yes, I went to get some water, and another
person was there deo. When leaving I herd • as
of fire ; ran and told my master, who told me to get taipol-ee
constable, bat I could not find as.. so went to the turneock,
who rot for the seers." He also admitted laving gooe
up the ladder planed in front of the banding, but gave no
explanation of his motive for so doing. Subsequently
Impey and Serpent Atter, 7 K. saw him at the house
of the turneock. He denied having set fire to the premises,
but was greatly excited, end Mr. Impey, under the fixed
impression that prisoner had committed the destruction
spoken of for the sake of the " information" reward, gave
him late custody.
Prisoner's owner gave him • good character, and r-
eprinted for his being in the Driffield-road on that evening
by having been seat -with another apprentice to water some
per in • plot of ground belonging to him (the master). He
might have got the water from the caral, or sometimes the
noighboare obliged him with it. He returnedhastily rid
spoke of the fire as described, adding that be had seen •
man enter the bore with • lighted pipe in his mouth.
The witness Porter remarked that prisoner had not • pail
or scything else to bold water when he saw him leaving the
hoer. The firs compered ea the basement.

Primmer was remanded, the magistrate commuting to
accept bail in two maretke el 40/. each.
