UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Mr. John Scale:, a tradesman living at Ro
therhithe, was charged with being drunk and disorderly,
and obstructing a policeman of the R division in the execu-
tion cf his duty, near the scene of the late fire in that
parish. The defendant, as one of the inhabitants, had en-
rolled himself amongst those who had taken upon them-
selves the duty of patrolling the streets, to prevent a repe-
tition of the incendiary fires which have lately occurred in
the neighbourhood. During the time he was in the state
above described, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr.
Pitman, the barge-builder, adding another to the list of
conflagrations at Rotherhithe, and little doubt exists as to
its being the work of incendiaries.
Policeman 39, division R, stated that he belonged to the
extra party of police on duty at Rotherhithe on the pre-
ceding night. About two o'clock in the morning he heard
a noise in Rotherhithe-street, and on going to the spot he
saw the defendant, who was intoxicated, and creating a
great disturbance. He had a pipe in his mouth smoking,
and he was abusing the police and swearing that he would
knock their - heads off. He continued to persevere
in the conduct described, and was taken to the station-
house. The policeman added that while he and some
other policemen were engaged with the defendant, their at
tention was drawn off to a fire that burst out on the pre
mises of Mr. Pitman, a barge-builder.
Mr. MURRAY inquired whether the fire alluded to was
supposed to have been committed by an incendiary?
Inspector Rawley stated that there was no doubt of it ;
and proceed to describe that about a quarter after 2 o'clock
the alarm of " Fire" was given at Mr. Pitman's premises.
One of the police constables had been placed on the pre•
mises in question in the early part of the evening with the
view to watch them closely, in order to discover if any at-
tempt would be made to set them on fire. The policeman
took up his station in the lower part of the building, and
nothing occurred during the time he was on the 100k-out,
until some time after two o'clock in the morning. At
that hour he heard a crackling noise in the loft above that
upon which he was, and also thought he observed a light
in the same place. He immediately gave the alarm, and
some policemen, together with a few of the inhabitants,
broke open the door leading into the loft, and' then found
that a tar-barrel and a considerable quantity of wood were
in a blaze. By their united exertions the fire was extin-
guished, but had they been a few minutes later it would
have been impossible for them to nave succeeded in check-
ing the flames, owing to the quantity of materials of a
combustible nature on the premises. There was little
doubt, the inspector added, that it was the work of an
incendiary, for close to the spot where the fire commenced
there was a tarpaulin, and other articles of a like nature,
indicative that they were intentionally placed there for the
purpose of setting fire to the premises. At present there
is not the slightest idea how or in what manner the fire
could have been conveyed into the loft, to which nobody
has had access for some time, and when the policeman
first discovered it, sledge-hammers were obliged to be usod
before they could break the door open to gain admission
into the place : evrything was so secure, and to all ap-
pearance safe from any attempt of the kind. The same
morning a fireball was found on the premises of Mr. Coul-
thorp, the coal-merchant, at Rotherhithe, and no doubt is
entertained that it was placed there by an incendiary for
the purpose of setting fire to the extensive warehouses and
premises on the spot,
Mr. Mr.TRAy, in allusion to the case against the de-
fendant Scales, said, that his conduct in getting drunk and
behaving
in the manner described by the policeman, was
extremely discreditable to him. Instead of preserving order
at such a time, when the minds of the inhabitants were
necessarily in a state of alarm, owing to the recent fires
and destruction not only of life but property also, he had
become intoxicated, and by his obstreperous behaviour
called off the attention of some policemen when their exec-

r_
Lions would have been otherwise required at another . ca
which had broken out during the time they were engage

with- him.

of giving offence, if he had not been molested in the firs
instance.
The policeman said that he had been given to underst3n.
that before he came up a fireman, who saw the defends!
smoking a lighted pipe, spoke to him and said that, osvisig,
to the fires in the neighbourhood, smoking Was not
lowed at unseasonable hours alone, the streets. Ili::
timation had the effect of enraging the feelings °'
defendant.
The defendant's solicitor said that his client, was dimes'
as any of the other inhabitants to discover the ineendiare!'
and in fact at the time he was taken to the station-ho?.!

he was going to patrol the streets.along with others of
neighbours.
Mr. MURRAY—Then he was in a most unfit condition too

questioned the defendant very closely as to where he sP 5
