errors she had eXpOsed, those 26,000 men, Whom

:England bad occasion to. calm the minds of people,

fauAlderman.LEE, charged on suspicion of ,having
set fire to'his house on the preceding:night, in con-
sequence of
.which the upper story and tool were
destroyed, and the neighbourhood thrown into . the ,
danger of conflagration.
It appeared, however, upon the very fUllest
vestigation, thAt4here.was Dot.a. ti•ltle ,of evidence
to support this faa ,against Mr. Collins, or any of
his family ; on the contrary, that he was from
tome when .the fire commenced, and it appeared to
•have originated in apartments of his lhouse which
were rented by a paper-stainer, .who did not sleep
..there, and the probability seemed that some paper
in those'roorns had caught fire, from either a lighted
c.andle;.ornnextinguishechfire in the room, inadver-
tently left ,bythe 'persons who 'had been at work
there. Several .respeCtable :neighbours of Mr. Col-
lins. testified that there was nothing to:warrant any
suspicion against him, inasmuch as he Was not
sured for a . single :shilling, and' must have been
ruined had not the fire been got under in time. He
was. conscquently.dismissed from custody.
