the same night, in consequence of an. alerm which hail been
given, he went up to the room occupied by • the prisoner,
when he thuud a jean coat and a sack on tire on a shelf in the
recess. There were several persons in the room endeavouring
to put out the fire. The citimriey-jamb was also burning—
Tile sack was suspended by a brad-awl. There were empty
oil and turpentine cans standing in the recess. In a stond
bottle, near theta, was what appeared to witness to boll
mixture of oil and turpentine. The size of the room is
fifteen feet by twelve. In a cupboard in the opposite corner
of the room was a hat-bOx, filled with smoke, and a waist..
coat on fire and nearly consumed. There was also a cask in
the cupboard;-containing oil and turpentine mixed, and on the
floor were lying a grreat many pieces of wood and shavings, with

on the floor of the room was scorched by some rags dipped in
turpentine, which had been laid on it. All the places where

There was whole, four or five inches.each way, or more, bored

found the prisoner's room was on "fire, and assisted in putting

Esther Davis occupied a room opposite ,to.the prisoner's.._.
She first discovered the fire, and gave the alarm ; the door was
then broken open, and the fire put out.
John Wood, a sculptor, saw the prisoner on the mght of the
fire ; he came at about nine o'clock into a room in which Mrs.
Fearne anti the witness were sitting. Mrs. Fearne remarked
that there was a strong smell of turpentine. Prisoner quitted
the house, anti that about half_past ten, witness. heariug the
alarm given by 31i" Davis, ran tip anti fbund the prisoner's
room padlocked, with a great light under the door.. Witness
forced the door open, water was brought, and the fire got under.
He then described the state of the room in nearly the same terms
as those used by the witness Fearne.
James Skeal was present at the breaking open of the door,
and corroborated the testimony of the other witness as to the
state of the room; and a brother of the witnesses deposed to
same eflixt.

Bannister, one of the Westminster firemen, nrrived when
the fire had been put out. He was quite sure that the fire
could not have been the effect of accident. This witness pro.
du,:ed the things which he had found half burnt.

An attorney's clerk proved the service of a notice to the
prisoner to produce the policy of insurance. This not being
produced,
Charks Taylor, a .clerk, in the Sun Fire-Office, proved that
an application was made to him on the 30th of March, to effect
a policy on property at No. 97, in the Strand.
Mrs. Fearne was recalled, and proved the handwriting.of the
prisoner in the figures on a paper produced by the last witness ;
none of the words were written by him.

The insurance had been made by him as a dealer in wearing
apparel. The whole amount of the insurance was 450/.
The case for the prosecution having been concluded, the pri-
toner, in his defence, denied the comm i ssion ofthe crime imputed
to him. lie dwelt upon the improbability of his having done
so. 'lle said that the interest he had in P'ennie's house, and
the.quantity of woollen cloth and wearing apparel which he tie.
posited in that house, justified hirn in effecting an insurance to
the amount which had been stated. Those goods he had re.
deemed from a pawnbroker to tbe amount of M. The Jury
could not doubt that they were worth a much larger sum; he
had sold some of them, and removed the rest publicly, and in
the face of day, without an attempt at concealment. lie went;
on to say, that the fire as it had been discovered was in such
parts of the room where it was least likely to do much mischief,
and insisted again upon the improbability of his having pursued
such means to consummate the oftance charged againathirn.
Several witnesses were called who gave the prisoner .a good
character.

Ali. Justice (lAstr.lr summed up, when another witness
appeared to the prisoner's character', Who hail not answered when

The prisoner then begged the Court to allow him to call wit-

Yesterday. Cutheriqe fivi.ng and Ahne Irving, her daughter,
was placed at the bar uhder a charge of having cruelly treated,
and starved three. children, who were placed under their care
as pupils.
Mr. ADo X,Pi vs opened the-ease to, the Jury. The defend-
ant, Catherine Irving, was a person who had- been employed
by a Mrs. Bathurst, in the direction of a small charitable in,
stitution, supported by that LadY, where a number of young
chileren were boarded and educated at a chap rate. -
she was in that situation no. blame could be attached to hereon-duct. but it-was afterwards that the cause of, the present prose-
cution arose. She had subsequently set up a school on the
same principle, and it was for the mode of treatment she then
pursued that she and her daughter-now appeared before them.

school; rive shillings and sixpence ,a week was to be paid for
them; I went every other day to see them until January 1824 ;
then went to Oxford, leaving the children under their care; when

return from Oxford, I went every day to the house of the de.:

my husband ; I called at the house of the defendants, and
hroke one of the doors of their room to pieces ; I came and
told my husband. that old mother • Irving was an old wretch,
and' unless he turned her out of the house, I would break the
windows; I never told John Dale Mrs. Arvin- was an old
wretch, and kept a houSe of ill fame. For the fortnight after
I returned from Oxford, I dined every day with Airs. Irving,
if you call it dining. During that time the children dined
with me itt the table ; part of the time I brought my dinner
with me. Some days I did not. Some days,. when I went
to the house without any thing, I was not allowed •to see the
children.

Re-examined ; Since the return of the children to me, I
have supported them by the allowance made by my husband,
by order of the Magistrate.-
Charles Otto, a boy of eight years old, called—l was put to
school to Catherine Irvin;'; t never had victuals enough ; she
used to beat me once or twice a week; there used to be black
and blue marks on my back ; s} used to heat me with a stick
and her fist ; there were four of us slept in the same bed ' • she
pawned a pair of my boots ; she asked me to let her ; I did so;
I never had them since; I don't know when it was I went
there.

Cross-examined—Sometimes we had bread and butter, and
cheese, and pudding, . but not altogether ; we had breakfast at
eight' o'clock in the -Morning, dined at one o'clock or three
o'clock, and drank tea at five o'clock and eight o'clock ; we
used to take a quarter of an hour at' breakfast and dinner, and
ten minutes at tea; we went to' bed sometimes at eight and
sometimes at nine o'clock at night.
Joseph Burgess, the :medical attendant of St. Giles's work-
house,-1 saw Otto, Hunt, Bray,. end Rogers, who were chil-
dren in the house of the defendants ; I went there in cone.
quence of a.request of the parish officers. I found about ten
children in the school-room ; some looked thin ; those boys I
have mentioned were there; they were dirty and squalid, and
diseased with the itch; they were ill dressed. The defendants
were in the same state • Frederick Hunt was covered with
bruises, and his head full of vermin ; he appeared to have been

fish ; I went" to the house of, the defendants, and found the
children in a deplorable
,state; some were eaten up with itch.
Otto was hartily'covered with clothes; when Hunt was taken
to the Police Office be ate some milk and bread with great eager.
nest; 'there were two bedsteads without bed or beddmg ; in one
room there was an infant wrapped up in some bed clothes. The
children seemed starved.

• Mr. C.l>tt 11.1.3 PS then addressed the Jury for the defendants.
''he charge brought against his clients was one of the most im-
portant, and dreadful, if it. had been supported in the nut finer
which the indictment, and the opening -of his Learned Friend,
would Iced them to expect. That had by no means been done.
it was said, that the children had been cruelly treated by these
defendants; if it was so, the parents must' have been aware of
it ; for they, according to their own account, bud been in. the
constant habit of calling to see their children. If there had
been any of those loathsoine and disguiting appeartusces,
which the statements of the witnesses would make them ima-
gine, where were the eyes of the parents not to have seen them ?
And if they saw them, where were their hearts, their feelings,
that they could allow their unhappy offspring to labour so long
under such complicated misery Y The tale was too enormous
for, anyreasonable being to believe. In fact, the acquittal of
the defendants was demanded, by the evidence of the witnesses
for the prosecutien. The children had given an account of the
number of meals they had, .and when they remembered the
scanty pittance which the penury of their parents would allow
to be paid for their support, coala it be expected that they were
to be supplied with the delicacies of the season ? As to the
beating, he, need not make anyobservation, fnr. the Jury ar
fathers, must be well able to judge,by the evidence on .gist
point, whether the chastisement was more than the frowardness
of the children would reasonably require. lie Should leave the
case in their hands, perfectly
_convinced, that the verdict they
would return must be that of Not Guilty. •
The CHAIRMAN, having recapitulated the evidence, told the
Jury, that the smallness of- the sum paid by the parents for the
maintenance of the children formed no part of the case as it
regarded the verdict they • should find. The. defendants had
undertaken to perform a certain contract, and if they had not
done so, the remuneration could not be urged as an excuse for
suchconduct. Whether unjustifiable cruelty had been exerted
towards them in their mode of treatment, was for them to de-
termine, and as they were convinced either of the affirmative or
the negative so they would find their verdict.
The Jury ibund both the defendants Guilty—Judgment de-
tarred till the last day of the Sessions.

It is t► singular incident in the life of the late
Dr. E. D. CLAnxx, that, when a boy, he saved his younger
brother from drOwning,_aud that brother perished by drowning
thirty years afterwards.

The'l.o o MAYon stated the purpose for which he had con--
vened the Hall. His Lordship then, ,with -several Aldermen,
retired and left the Livery to their election.
Mr. FAV, ELL said, the office to which they had now to appoint
one of their own Body did' not require a great deal of labour,
and they had been accustomed. to give it to some highly respect-,
able Citizen, whose meritorious life, firmness in misfortunes
and necessities, recommended him to their notice. lie did no
more than his duty when he recommended Mr. Hainworth as
a fit person in every respect to receive at their hands the office of
Bridge i%lastef. He had been unfortunate in business, it was
true, but his character was irreproachisfile ; he had a large fanii-

fryiends that day.. His father was respectable tradesman who

worth of Mr. Hainworth. ' • •

Mr. LEE, who is a particularly venerable gentleman, then
stepped forteard, anti seconded the motion. He stated that he

and had ever known him to be diatingniShed for his7integrity.
He began business with a good fortune,' of which he was

prived by misfortunes in trade.t

sidered as superior to those of either of the •others, respectable
as they doubtless were. Mr. Oilman had been amongst them
fin. twenty Vears as a Liveryman ; he had been' Master of the
Founders Company, of which there was not .one man who had
.seen his conduct that would not now conic forward in his sup-
port. Ile had been eminent in trade; but by -the re-action
which took place in 1815; he lost a large fortune, and his fa-
mily were ruined for ever. He had a large family of a wife
and six children, who had been driven from a station of rank
and opulence to ono of extreme necessity. olie of his sons was
not only a cripple in body, but imbecile In mind. The Livery
were always 'zealous to sucenur those of their brethren who
were respectable in,misfortune. They would therefore choose
Mr. Gilman, as an . honourable citizen, who hid fallen by a
vicissitude.tti-which the-most opulent were liable, and which
no foresight could avert. They would prevent his days, which
opened in, splendour,. being closed on himself, and children in
destitution and misery.—(boud applause.) ' •
Mr. Deputy PUrLEN seconded the inotion. • •

Several other Gentlernen.allerwards severally proposed Mr.
Sparks Moline, Mr. U. Shotler,. Mr. T. D. le, Mr. E. Sage,
and Mr. Stephen Adams, as candidates.

The Sheriffs were about to take the spew of hands in behalf
of these several candidates, when Mr. Hunt presented himself
in front of the hustings. ills appearance was the signal for a
dreadful uproar, and -Cries of " Off, off* i—yott have no right to
interfere in:the election" He was asked by Sir Peter Laurie
for what purpose he wished to• address die Livery? Hunt re-
plied, that he intended to address them upon the subject which
they were then considering—the electiOn ofßridgclllaster. Sir
Peter Laurie said, that it' Mr. Hunt confined himself to that
subject, be certainly had is right to speak. Mr. Hunt pledged
himself to confine his remarks to' that.question.
Mr. Sheriff WIIIVEA h Elt then called n,r silence, and having
obtained informed the Livery of the pledge which Mr.
Hunt had made, and begge&thein to give hurl a patient hear-
ing so long as he adhered to it.

1 Mr. HtiN'r was about to speak, when—
Mr. sAvauE, the Common Councilman, exclaimed, " Turn
him oil—he has no right to speak—his time is gone by !"

ter.)—Mr. Hunt then proceeded, tout asked what those who
hissed hint were afraid of, that they %hewed themselves so sensi-
tive when he made his appearance ? Before they proceeded to
the election they should investigate into the nature anti (hides of
the office of which they Were about to dispose, in order that
they might judge of the fitness of the candidates, and if pos.
Bible come to an unanimous vote. It was the duty of the
.Bridge Blaster to receive and keep an account of the income
from the Bridge }louse estates' and pay them over into the
hands of the Chamberlain. ' In fact he was the representative
of the Livery, whose duty was to manage " their" estates, to
receive " their" income, and pay it over into the hands of
" their" servant, the Chamberlain. It was clear that the pro-
perty was theirs, anti yet on a former occasion, when he moved
to have their accounts printed, there were persona who bad the
efTrontery to say that the Livery hail no money whatever at
their disposal.-(Hear, hear !)-.-Ile contended that no money
could be justly or even legally applied from these estates with-
out the sanction of the Livery.—(Applause.)—He hoped that
the Bridge Master whom they should appoint would not heaitate
to divulge to them the state of their property, and let them
• know how their aacounut 'stood. Ile was told that . the duties
were so easy asap render the, place almost a sinecure, aid that

He had never heard the names of any of the parties, ,and per-
tionally he was unknown to them, but he had heard of one of
them; Mr. Oilman,' and it was not perhaps in the knowledge
of the Livery that that Gentleman had on a great °maim' ,
