INCENDI A R 'Sr FIRE.
NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.
A very extensive fire was discovered on Sun day night
in Friar-lane Chapel, in this town, which is evidently
the work of an incendiary. About eleven. o'closek Mr.
Hebb, hair-dresser, of Swinton, adjoining this towD, was
on his way home, and on passing the chapel 'he perceived
volumes of smoke coming out of the windows ; he cried
out, " Fire," and a policeman being near, < t closer in-
spection was made, and on looking through t. he windows
the pulpit was found to be in flames. A mess enger went
with all speed to the watchhouse, and in a fe w minutes
Meldrum, Truman, and the firemen, with tto engine,
were upon the spot, and. drawing a fire-plug in the street,
the engine was in play in five minutes after the.ir arrival.
In an hour the flames were subdued, and the interior of
the chapel being entered by means of breaking open the
large front door, the pulpit was found to be entirely de-
stroyed, the gallery and organ extensively burnt, and
the wood floor on which the pulpit stood, the rending
and several pews altogether destroyed and reduced
to ashes. The firemen remained in the chapel inspect-
ing all its parts, to discover, if possible, the cause of
this disaster, supposing all to be safe, when at a quarter
before three, a second fire broke out in a pew in the
north-west corner of the chapel, which had evidently
been smouldering for hours, the articles burning not
being of a very combustible nature. This part was oo-
cupied by Mr. Cripps, who was elected mayor a week
ago, and had cushions on the seats covered with crimson-
velvet, stuffed with wool, and there had been placed in
one corner a cushion,' brought from the reading desk in.
an ignited state, on which was placed a boss or two, no
doubt under the expectation that these would fire and.
communicate with the woodwork, and so set the whole
chapel in a blaze. This second fire, however, was disco-
vered, and put out before mach mischief had been done
in this part of the building. In an hour after the alarm
had been given. the mayor, being acquainted with the
circumstance, was on the spot, where he remained, and
a most searching inquiry took place as to the cause of

this wprk of destruction. It was discovered that the
vestry had been ransacked, nearly a bottle of wine in a
cupboard had been drunk, a cash-box broken open' and
the vestry door left wide open. Against an outer' door,
leading to tho street, which was locked, a chair had
been placed, and feet marks upon the wall and on the
top of the door were seen, proving the way taken by the
party doing the mischief to make his escape •, in short,
the whole of the circumstances proved that the fire had
been the work of an incendiary. The chapel was at-
tended very fully last night, to hear the regularly ap-
pointed minister, the Rev. Joseph Gilbert, who has for
may years been the pastor of the corgregation of Inde-
pendents assembling in that place, and the lights were
put out, and the building left safe at nine o'clock. The
building is very handsome, erected at great cost, and had
a fire toned organ in it, which is seriously injured.
What amount of damage has been done cannot yet be
properly estimated ; it must, however. take several hull-
dred pounds to repair the mischief. The greatest indig-
nation is expressed against the author of so diabolical an
act, but no cause can be assicrned, as both the minister
and the mayor are very highly and universally respected.
Mr. Bowman, spirit-merchant, and others, on the fire
being discovered, assisted in removing Mr. Wiggerton's
valuable horses and carriages, which were close to the
chapel, and much other property liable to be destroyed
had the flames got the mastery.
