from Mr Maunder, stating that he would be Liverpoel
on the following day. At a
police constable on duty discovered
and Co.'s offices were on fire. lie at once passed the alarm
to the fire station, and Mr Hewitt and his brigade soon ex-
tinguished the fire, but not before damage to a cons.derable
amount had been done several paintings, and one of them
valued at £7OO having been destroyed along with other
articles. It was discovered that a large number, if not all,
of the geld coins above referred to had been taken away,
and it was then suspected that the fire had been the work
of an incendiary. It was ascertained that the prisoner on
Tuesday °Telling told a companion named Molyneux, that
he had forgotten to leave the keys of the office with the
keeper, aud that he would have to go down with them.
The Young man met hint at a quarter to eight, and
waited while he went up with the keys, but the prisoner
was so long that ho caused Moiyueux to be impatient
and to whistle for hc..m. He at length, however, came,
and they w.mt aw!ry together. It was also found that
the clock in the office had stopped at twenty minutes
past nine, and it was considered impossible for any one to
have gone to the cupboard in which the coins were in the
short 'period which had elapsed between the time of the pri-
son.er being in the office and the fire reaching the clock. A
l',amber of the coins, toe, were found to have been sold at
different times at various bullion offices. The prisoner was
then apprehended, and he made statement to the effect that
when he left the office on Tuesday evening he went home
to his mother's house, where he changed his clothes, put-
ting on the uniform of the Ist L.R.V., of which corps he is
a member. lie had taken the keys of the office with hint,
and after changing his dress he went down to the office.
He saturated some paper with oil, placed it under the cup-
board in which the coins had been, and set fire to it, but
did not think of setting fire to the whole ()Mlle.—The pri-
soner was yesterday brought before the magistrates and
remanded.—lffanchcster Guardian.
