COMMITTAL of TWO POLISH JEWS FOR INCENDIARISM.
—At the Newcastle Pol ca Court on Friday two Polish
Jews, Lavine Leipschitz, and Selig Leipschiiz, his son,
were charged with setting fire to their premises, 75,
Hizh Buckingham-street, with intent ,to defraud the
Pncerix Fire-office. The prisoners had carried on a
small business as pawnbrokers, and it is stated that the
,Aass of goods they received was so poor that
the premises could not hive held 100/: worth.
The policy they held was 301. for the fixtures, 1001. for
the furniture, and 6701. for the stock. On the 19th
of July the premises were discovered to be on fire, emit-
ting a suffocating vapour unlike that of an ordinary fire.
Neither of the prisoners helped to extingui.h the flames.
The fire wa*, however, got under, and the premises were
locked up by the police, who found in the shop a feather
and a child's garment both Faturated with naptlia. A
few weeks before the elder prisoner had gone to London
and purchased several quarts of naphtha " for a secret
purpose," as he told a friend. The prisoners had made
application to insure the stock for mare than 1,0001 ,
but had not been able to do so. They were committed
for trial.
