work.. The fire in quret!on took place in al...teeing of
Dec. 20, and it appeared thrt ii workabep. containiag • large
onaa,iiy of Tolman:it burl ling meteriels, was entirely de-
stroyed, the va us of the property being estimated at
over a thousand pound. It appeared that shortly b fore
the fire there bid bern some disaireement between
the priaosi r and a person named Wood, who had
some control upon the works, upon the !subject of as
is.im.ey which existed between the prisoner sad hie
sister, Gad Wool hal threatened to disabuse him unless

made • stamment to the same effect to Captain Roe
himself, stating at the sum time that his object in

of the Woods, and he wished that the y all had been burned
in the fire.

/Intro Hatt, 23, late,urer, was indicted for feloniously
receiving the good., well knowing thim to hays been
enter. Mr. Bailiwicks prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended
Hart.
Newland pleaded guilty, and was admitted evidence, and
the statement made by him end the other witnesses did not
in any way differ from that given before the magistrates at
Guildhall, which hot appeared at length in our piper within
the last few days. The feats were briefly these : On the
28th of Dawning' last Henry Webb, 258 City police, baring
received some information, went to the shop of • tohac
eonist in St. blutin'ele-Oruid, where he found a bog
' bad been left, end which he learnt would be called
'tor on the Monday, end he accordingly went there on
the Monday following, and waited in the beck psrlour, in
'company with Wardell, another City officer, and shortly
afteewerds Newland, who was porter to the prosecutors, who
reside at 84, Untter•lane, cams sod ask, d for the bundle,
ant also fora knife, with which he cut the top teem the bags
and tied it up 'loser. Hs then went out, followed by the
officers, end proceeded se far as Bishopegate by °moths%
' they being in • cab. They than followed him down Artil-
lery-lane and some of the s reefs in the neighbourhood,
whore, not being well acquainted with the locality, thy lost
sight of him, but as they proceeded along saw Hart and an-
other man stand waiting shout. Oa the nest day the officers
took Newl.nd into custody at his employers', and he then
made the statement which implicated Hart, and was to the
street that Hart Lad instigated him to commit the offences be
had been guilty of ; that he had bona acquainted with him
about two months; that he first saw him when hie ime down
Oetter-lass to buy old clothes. He (lilorielutd) sold him en
old jacket, and Hut asked him ilk, could not get him some
of tee things that hie master dealt in ; that for some time he
refused, sad It was not suit he had seven or eight interviews
with him that he let him have anything. He then went on
to describe whirs he had been in the habit of meeting Hart,
which description in some degree agreed with where the
officers had followed him on the previous day. Just about
that time Hart came into Gutter-lane, when he was taken
into custody and searched, but nothing was found on him.
He bad his bag with him, but no money in his pockets.
The only evidence to at all corroborate Newland was that
an one occasion he had been seen talking at the door el
his master's warehouse with Hart, but this turned oat to
be the time when he had told the jacket to him.
la croft wathiation it appeared that Newland had hr
no purpose told the officers several untruths, and bile
meter said he hod made avowal false charges against per
sons In the establishment, and was note man to be believed,
on oath. The officer Webb said that up to this time
knead that Hart bore • good character.
Several vitalism were called who gave him a pod
shasseter.

Itereabuative proof to support the allegation of Newland,
