John Slater examined—l occupy the cellar underneath. WWI I
left in the cue of my wife and boy ahourludfpast six. There was
no fire burning. There was in the room lye gallons of turpentine
placed under • wooden dresser, in a cis case, which was covered.
None of my family had any occasion to go to it. I had no gas
burning ; and how the fire originated I knew not. I slept on the:
night in Barnard's Inn ; and. on being alansed. I ran and folio./
Mr. Howard and his family endeavours( to escape through a trap.
tloce into my cellar.
Mr. Grant being recalled. stated that his louse was insured, a 3.1
that the-cellar of his house was arched over.

Mary Lawson—l occupied one of the front rooms on the second
floor, and was awoke at half past one. There appeared to be no one
stirring at the time in the house, which, in a moment after 1 was
swot,. was in a blaze. I escaped by means of a ladder.
James Tar, watchman of St. Andrew's, stated that he perceived,
at half-past one, a smoke issuing from underneath Mr. Grant's
house, and afterwards perceived through the light.holes hi the
shutters, flames, in consequence of which he sprung his rattle, what',
the next moment, he caught a female, who threw herself from the
Inn door window it: his arms. He passed by the house fire rr.i.
owes before, but saw no appeatance of fire.
Mr. Grant being recalled, stated that his bakehouse and the place
where he kept his shavings wire all safe when he retired to bit/
Ile had taken no light there (in the shaving room) that day.
Henry Wade—l slept on tne ground floor in the front prriou.
with my wife. I heard no alarni, but was awoke by the oppressis e
heat, and running into the passage found the lower part of lilt-
house all in flames. I uroke open the shutter and escaped. Ti'e
fire appeared to have commenced from below. After having dep
sited my clothes in an area opposite, I returned to my room, bu
found no fire burning there.
Charles Simons, a watchman, deposed to seeing, at half past o
a person rushing out of the front door of Mr. Grant's house with a
night cap and a coat on, who ke believed to have been the wittiv.-
ade ; but the confusion and smoke being so &lase, he could n.
well distinguish features.
Samuel Hippon, a lodger in Mr. Grant's house, stated that, on tl:e
fire breaking out he escaped at the back part of the house. whet ,
on looking back, he could perceive no dames from blow. The Cr:
appeared to proceed from the second floor.
Several other witnesses were examined, but who could give no
formation how the tire originated.
It was, in consequence, requested on the part of s,:veral of tit-
Jury, it being late, thlt an adjournment should take place, in order
that other witnesses might be examined.
Adjourned accordingly until to-morrow—(this day )

On Monday, at noon, Thomas Cox, who was con-
victed on Friday of the murder of William Wicks, at
Bisley, underwent the last sentence of the law on tho
drop erected near the gateway of Gloucester gaol. Ths
wretched man maintained a sullen composure since hii
conviction, and did not appear to be at at moved at
the prospect of his approaching death. His firmness did
Dot forsake him on the scaffold, and he died solemnly
protesting his innocence. His son William, who, it will
be recollected, was tried with him and acquitted, was

detained upon a charge of stealing an iron pot, and,
having been found guilty of that charge, he was sea-
Minced to six months' imprisonment. The son, therefore,
did not see his father after the conviction of the former,

as the law does not permit a person capitally convicted to
see any other convict, without an order from the judge.
Saturday at Hereford, James Williams suffered the
extreme penalty of the law on the drop over the gateway
of the county gaol, for robbing and violently beating Fran-
cis Wellington, on the 3d of Nov. last. The prisoner was
convicted at the last Assizes, together with Robt. Floyd and
John Roberts. The last named prisoner is only 17 years old,
and it appearing that he had taken no active part in the out-
rage, his sentence was commuted to transportation for life
Floyd was to have suffered with Williams, but in conse-
quence of some circumstances which have transpired since
the trial, tending to raise a doubt as to the correctness of.
the verdict against him, and as both Williams and Ro-
berts have solemnly denied that he was of the party, a
communication was made to Mr. Peel, who last week fat-
warded a respite of his sentence till the 15th of May.—
Since his condemnation, Williams has displayed every
external appearance of sincere repentance. He admitted
the justice of his sentence, but to the last persisted in
declaring that Floyd was not implicated in the crime.
ANOTIIER CASE OF MEDICAL POISONING Al
FINCIILEY.—Much excitement has been created at
Finchley for some days past, owing to the following cir-
cumstance, so nearly resembling the melancholy case of
the late Mrs. Phillips :—Mrs. Geary, the wife cf a Icier
labouring man residing near the chnrch, d
in her accouchenaent by the apothecary on Putridly
week, and by him safely delivered of a female child.
The nurse was told a draught should be sent, whi. It
was to be given Mrs. G. as soon as it cairn', ; and a' t
four o'clock a bottle arrived accordingly, the conttnta
of which were given to her. Half an Exit afterwards
the appearances left no doubt that some mistake ?lad
been made in the r..edicine, and they sent off imme-
diately to the doctor, who arrived between six and
seven o'clock. In the mealtime the poor woman showed •
the most distrereing symptoms of having been poisoned.
and the greatest exertions were used to keep her froaa
sleeping, by pinching her, &c. She felt she was dying and •
took leave of her ether children. The doctor having troaght
a stomach-pump with him, ex traced the contents, and eca- .
drilled to inject awl extract warm water, he., for *Wit 't
