GREAT FIRE Al CLEHKENWELL.

This morning, at an early hour, the inhabitants
of St. John-street, Clerkenwell, were suddenly
aroused from their peaceful sleep by the alarming
cry of " Fire," .the flames proceeding from the
extensive and well-known premises of Messrs.
Farmilow and Son, glass and lead merchants, in
the locality. The fire raged owing to the wind
that was blowing, and up to nine o'clock this
morning the firemen were playing on the ruins.
The origin of the ,fire is unknown, and the pro-
perty being insured in the Sun, Phoenix, Atlas,
and other offices, the insurance having been divided
in the offices by the proprietors of their respective
policies, will fall lightly upon them.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A Boy.---Jane M'Donnell,
of No. 3, Tudor-place, Tottenham-court-road, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Thos.
Lee, a boy about 9 years of age, by striking him
on the head with a poker.

The complainant, a rather delicate-looking boy,
residing in the same house as the prisoner, said that
about 8 o'clock that morning he was knocking at
the door of the house, having some bread in his
hands, when he received a violent blow on his head,
a poker having been been thrown at him, but he did
not know by whom.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the boy said he be-
lieved the prisoner was quarrelling with her hus-
band at the time.

Police-constahle Eager, M E, said the witness
who saw the prisoner throw the poker was not in
attendance.

The prisoner said that she made an attempt to
strike her husband, and the boy, wh) was standing
at the door, caught the blow instead of her husband.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked if the boy had had his head
attended to, and was told that the boy was taken to
the Middlesex Hospital, and had the wound sewed
up, and was to attend the hospital again to-mor-
row.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner
for a week, as there was no knowing what might
happen to such a tender-looking boy.
ROBBERY THROUGH DISTRESS.—John Davis, a
half-starved looking
young man was charged be-
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing five books from the
shop of Mr. Hatfield, bookseller, of Tottenham-
court-road.

The prisoner was seen to take the books by a
young man in the employ of Mr. Hatfield, and then
make of. He was pursued and the books found in
his possession.

The prisoner said that he was "hard up," and
committed the robbery through his necessities.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for seven days with
hard labour.
