Yestearday the prisoner, Samuel Mader (not Mar-
dis, se be pvs hie news ea Monday), was brought up on
ressaati, charged oa suspicion of isseiag met firs to the home
No. Coltish be bad occupied, u it eppeerset, for ease yams,
la tits Creseuat, at the top of Nara's-street, Gravesend, is
t►e sane *1L....

The fact of Sadlag the embers of the box sad id com-
bustible content; with the asadlatiek imbedded in it, was
spin proved ; and Mr. Southgate, who attended for the se-
mad, admitted that It was a me; seepleione eireamstanee,
but might be assonated for by the admission of the policeman
Wiekhem that he had thrown sub a quantity of water (some
six or semi baskets), ae aright have &ma id forcible setioa,
thrown the saadisetta sad its homing madly into the bot-
tom of the be: when it wasteland.
Mr. H. Mown's, spit to the Phan& Immense* Co..
posy, is reply so Mr. Southgate, stated that, on the 6th of
the present month when be, as agent to tits company, made
the immune, he bad made • survey of the foralture of lir.
'larder as width the insurance wee rammed, sad believed
he was fully justified, from such newsy, in estimating its
vans at the amount insared—sanely. 2601. He also on the
saw day whoa Kr. Warder applied for lemmas of his
stock is troth for 2601., west into the shop and said, on
viewing it, to Mr. Mercier, " You surely have sot stock is
trade here to justify me in futurist for the amount you
claim—that is 2601." Mr. Marder then told him (witness)
that the boxes on the shelves in the shop contained a quan-
tity of lam hiably valuable' and greatly beyoed the smoust
of insurance—namely the 2601. Upon this statement ha
(Mr. Newman) mad* no further objection, bet gave Mr.
Warder the receipt for the premium of insurance of 6001.,
sot including &twos or anything on the premises but the
stock in uldii and tits furniture. _ _ _

To Mr. Oakw—ltassined the furniture and stink in trade
ea Moeda evening last—the day after the discovery of the
fire and the isentigatioa into It be the 'magistrates.
Found the room scantily famithod, as compared to the lot
mousy he node, when about to effect the insurance. Found
In the bedroom the wardrobes Is• had seen on the 6th instant,
bat there was nothing in the drawers. Found in the shop
two bits of laes--a mon bettering apparently for a woman's
dram, but Gould net state the value. It was no inrignificant
in value that he Gould not take epos blatant to say what it
wea worth.

sertainly was no property in the
shop, nor yet in the homer Wafture, to justify the amour
hewed ' • still there was no material difference in the appear
once of that quantity of furaitare to justify him in saying
that he rola have discovered the removal of any article.
At the am* time it appeared to him, on the examination he
made ea Monday last, that there was a great random of
(furniture as compared with when be surveyed It and made
the immature for Mr. Mauler, ou the sth last. The receipt
he gar foe the premium of 14 paid to him by Mr. Marder
was binding on the nicest: Company. Oa all insurance
ocompaain be believed such receipt would be equally binding.
There would be no dispute about the payment of the in-
surance. Ia this cor then was no claim, no insured
property having been destroyed, the Pkanix.ofilee would not
prosseme. They were satisfied with leaving it in the hands
of the magistrates end police of Gravesend.
Mr. Southgate said that, although he could not get over
the repiesiou facts art prowl before the beach, yet he felt
triad to tell them that he had evidence to show that Mr.
Muds, did not set fire to his hour. Mr. Marder owed a
halt yeses rent, whisk it was not 0012•111111111 t to him to pay,
and he was determined to " bolt." He had removed on the
Saturday night a portion of his stock in trade, which chiefly
belaagea to his bore of business in Loedon, sad Intended
to remove the remainder oa Sauday night, when the fire
oonned, which fear rated his intention,

Mr. Oalm—But how as you mount for the position of
that candlestick is the hoz, ar for the feet of the inraranse of
the furniture and stork in trade a few days before this, as
don all it, occidental fire—admitting your own statement in
efence of your client, that he was surreptitiously leaving
the town to avoid payment of his rent
Mr. bouthgate-1 admit that the whole evidence is at
present against Mr. Harder. I will refrain from entering
into rebutting It as pretest, and confiner myself to asking you
to admit this poor, aged, and unhealthy man to bail.
The magistrates, after a moment's consultation, declared
that they could not slept bail for the prisoner; and having
expressed their intention to commit him for trial, agreed to
have him mein brought up on Friday morning to perfect the
