Upon our re-admiseien Into the Court, we learned that be
verdict was to the following effect :—" Wilfully set on fire
some person or versons unknown."
Eventually the following resolutions were passed I'o' till
gentlemen ol* the jury :
" That, the prompt and energetic conduct of Police-cobtl:
stab'.e William Ledam (586 City), upon the occasion ut.l-t
late fire, at 6, Gracechurch-street, is deserving of the big" le
praise; and this jury recommeed him especially to
notice of the Commissioner of the City Police, and to the
several fire-offices interested in the preservation of the sib°
premises."

services of the above officer, a colection was made by the
and Mr. Deputy Stevens handed him the sum of 11. 16s. „be
The following resolve met with the cordial response 01 '

coroner for the City of London, for the lengthened, Petie-e
and complete investigation. AS to the cause of the tire 0t

further desire to express their great satisfaction aL„t
revival, by that gentleman, of the ancient practice of h01a,2
courts of inquiry on all such fearful occasions in the city
London, which we doubt not will be productive of most its
portant results."
Mr. PAYNE returned thanks in a few words, and tb/l.

It was stated in the inquest room, that a vestry wee—
will be forthwith called for further pursuing this inquiry.
