out in Conduit-street, Long Acre, leading into Hart-street, which burnt
very fiercely fur some time, consumed two houses, and damaged tuo
more.
On Wednesday evening, an extraordin ry investigation took place ;It

observed, at a short distance before him. two !ten on a wall, and di-
rectly after saw the tallest of them, a stout man about six feet high,
hanging by his neck from a lamp-post, attached to the wall, being that
instant tied up, and turned off by the short man. 'lbis unexpected and
extraordinary sight astonished the officer ; he made up to the spot with
all speed, and just after he arrived there; the tall man, who had been
hanged, fell to the ground, the handkerchief with which he had been
suspended having given way. Croker produced his staff, said he was
an officer, and demanded to know of the other man the cau'e of such
conduct;. in the mean time, the man.who had been hanged recovered,
on Croker interfering, gave him a violent blow oo his nose, winch
nearly knocked him backward. The short man was endeavouring to
make off ; however, the officer procured assistance, and both W, re
' brought to the office. when the account they gave was, that they hoth
worked on canals. They had been together on Wednesday after iron.
tossed up for money, and afterwards for their clothes; the tali man,
who was hanged, won the other's jacket, trowsers, and shoes ;
then tossed up which should hang the other, and the short one nn the
toss. They got upon the wall, the one to submit, and the oth. nang
him on the lamp-iron. They both agreed in t!.is statement. 1 h.: ral
