various parts of the metropolitan district at which
f
the London brigade and parish engines attended. One was
in the premises belonging

Hughes's-fields, Deptford, which destroyed a L
range
buildings, Wyld'e-court, Wi
fields. As in the former case the workshops and stores
were destroyed, and the adjoining premises damaged by fire,

being trifling.
THE INCENDIARY FIRES UPON THE YORKSHIRE
`'FOLDS.—The mystery which has surrounded the
dastarly incendiarisims which have been iperpetrated upon
the Yorkshire Welds is likely soon to be solved. Since
about the middie of December last, when the frequency of
the fires, occurring as they did in three distinct places in
one night, was beginning to give a serious aspect to affairs,
Lord Wenlock, the vice-lieutenant of the East Riding,
with a promptness and energy which characterise every-
thing ho takes in hand, set to work to solve that which
had hitherto puzzled the ingenuity of all the ordinary con-
stabulary which had been employed on the Welds. His
lordship communicated with Government, and obtained
the:offer from them of a reward of £69 for the apprehension
of an one of the incendiaries, and the use of a metropolitan
and a couple of provincial detective officers. These officers,
in company with Col. Layard (chief constable of the riding),
visited the scenes of the fires. Every rumour was probed,
and for a time unsuccessfully ; but a few days ago their
tact and energy were rewarded by the apprehension of a
man charged with setting fire to the stacks at Iluggato.
This man was brought before the magistrates ao Pock-
lington, on Suturday last, but wad remanded till to-mor-
