support a charge of arson against the prisoner, but it clearly
made out a charge of having negligently and carelessly set
fire to his master's premises. The prisoner did not
deny having acted as had been stated in evidence,
and he was fined under the Act of Parliament in the penalty
of 1001. The prisoner, who appeared astounded at the deci-
sion of the Bench, declared it was totally out of his power to
pay such a penalty, and he was committed to prison for 1$
months.
