retreat, with incredible Quickness and precision. All the
respectable inhabitants Of the neighbourhood were present,
and general approbation was expressed of the efficiency of

BRICKS ALL HOT !—On Thursday 'afternoon
an accident of a singular nature wcurred in Gray's !un-
read. A trick cart belonging to Mr. Rhodes, of Isling-
ton, which was heavily laden, having caught.fire throng'
the great heat of the bricks, the flames were extinguished
by some hackney coachmen at the stand at King's Cros.s
(where water was readily obtained), but not before the car;
was nearly burnt. The carter stated that this wa Sno lb,
first accident of the kind, as, in consequence of the greB
demand for bricks to erect new buildings round the metro-
polis, the makers have been obliged to cart them from the
kiln whilst still hot, and that they are scarcely cold before
they are in the hands of the bricklayer.
THE LATE CHARGE OF POISONING A WIFE.
—Thursday, at Lambeth-street office, John Clifton, the
young man who has been in custody for nearly a fortnight
on the alleged charge of having administered some active
poison to his wife Caroline, which had caused ber.Cleatb•
was placed at the bar, before Mr. Hardwick, for final exa-
mination. Mr. Lunn, the chemist, of Aldersgate-street,
who had been previously examined at this office, stated
that since that examination he had submitted the contents .
of the stomach of the deceased to a further and Iller°
searching test, and could not discoser the slightest 10e-
sence of anything of a poisonous nature. Joseph 14°e'ci
wood, a chemist in Charlotte-street, Wbitechapel, depose
that about two months ago the prisoner came to hiss
and asked for twopennyworth of arsenic, saying t hoe.t
time that his lodgings were overrun with mice, and tu"
be required it to destroy them. Witness, perceiving
him to be a respectable and rationallooking young I'llB7
after cautioning him as to the necessity of care in its u_'
'
gave him the arsenic, which weighed nearly half an ounce
s.
and upon which he wrote the word " Poison." 5111ci
Scott stated that about two months ago the. prisoner s'o
his wife lodged at her house, and while they had bee
there she bad never known either of them to comp
with
mice, nor was it true that the house was overrun vol
them, as had been stated. The Magistrate directed that '
the statement of the last witness should be placed
of
the depositions. Mr. Pelham, who attended on bebalL°.
the prisoner, submitted, after the evidence given by Inlc%
Lunn—namely, that there was not the slightest ntesedi,
of poison in the contents of the stomach of the decease _t.
that there was no case that would justify the cornmitmeubo
of the prisoner, and, therefore, he hoped he would g
discharged. Mr. Hardwick entertained avery differep_
opinion of the case, and committed the prisoner to tag:
his trial at the Central Criminal Court upon the eherg
of murder.
