FEARFUL 7RAGFDY.

A man, who gave his name as Thomas Hogan, from
Atby (and from his appearance one would be led to the
conclusion that he is one of those persons who ramble from
union to union), was taken up on Saturday evening for
being drunk and disorderly, and lodged in the lock-up. All
appeared to be as silent as usual, and the brielewell pre-
vented that appearance when the keeper was going his last
rounds that usually draws forth from the inspector the gra-
tifying expression, " All right, I may go to rest." At four
o' clock a.m. the bridewell keeper, whose name is Smith,
was aroused by hearing dreadful screams issue from Hogan's
cell ; and that functionary, with his usual diligence, went
at once to ascertain the cause of the piteous groaning, and
on opening the door of the cell he was completely suffo-
cated from the dense fog of smoke that blasted into his face
when the door had been opened. After the lapse of a few
seconds Smith found his way into the cell, and there lay
Hogan enema° straw that was blazing all round him, scream-
ing in a dreadful manner. The police were immediately
alarmed, and constable Sherwood, with sub-constable Finn,
were soon at the scene of the conflagration, and succeeded
in extinguishing the flames. Dr. Potter was then called on,
ing the required reliefIa
