flop Solebay. Ile returned to England, after an
abience nt tywardiof (even years, and had remained
in Loudon lince that time, never having heard, or
enquired, whether his former wife was living. He
married his fecund wife in February, ritoz, and had
lived with her till he was recognized by a relident of
Ireland, who had come on Wind's to England, and
who had made known the tinnier marriage. The
prifoner denied having any knowledge of his former
wife being alive. Not Guilty.—On the delivery of the
v:rdiet, the fecond wife baggily begged to know whe-
ther he had any thing• more to do with her ? and on
her being antweresl in the negative, teemed highly
rejoiced at her delivery, declaring that rile wanted

7. Ranolds And R. Howes, were indifted for forging
and uttering a Bill of Exchange for 251. The pi-
loners had ordered a quantity of foap and candles,
amounting to the funs of nine pounds two fhillings,
at Mr. Walton's, in Little Britain, which was fent
to Howes' lodgings) in Duke.fireet, Smithfield ;
Coon after which, the prifoneps alternately called at
the (hop, and informed Mr. Walton that the bill
would be &Charged at the end of the week, as they
were (port of calls. On the gosh of February, a letter
came, addreffed to Mr. Walton, from Maidenhead,
enc.lofing a bill at two months to J. Ranolds, Efq.
Board of Ordnance, Woolwich, payable alto at the
above gentleman's houfe at Hoxton, which gentleman
proved to be the prifoner at the bar, who at that time
refided at Hoxton. The letter went to Rate, that
Mr. Walton would have the goodnefs to remit the
balance to his wife in Dtrke•Qreet. The bill was en-
dorfed with the name of Howes, but the evidence did
not prove that it was the handwriting of the prifoner,
and they were confequently acquitted. The Re.
corder informed them, that they had had a narrow
ekape, as it barely refted on a point of law, which
he fhould not repeat to them, as it might give them
an advantage in future prattices ; and that he ()mold
order them to be detained for a tont-piracy, with in-
tent to defraud.

Lan night, at half pall nine o'clock, a fire broke
out at a rope walk belonging to Mr. Cornwall, at
the end of Back.lane, St. George's Road, in the pa-
rith of Shadwell. which burnt with great-fury, and in
a Axon time it communicated to Mr. Miles's deal
yard ; which place, together with the rope walk, was
entirely confumed. The conflagration at one time
became fo great. that apprehenfions were entertain.
ed for the whole neikhbourhood. The timely esti--
tions of the fire engines. however, prevented the de-
ftruaion of. Burton's Buildings, feveral houfes in
which were repeatedly on fire. Five or fix honks
wrere confiderably damaged, as well as a houfe in
Mercer's Row ; and one in Pike's Row. The fire
was entirely got under at twelve o'clock, and no fur-
ther mifchiet was apprehended. it was not known
how it originated.
On Saturday evening a fire broke nut in the Rabies
adjoining the Black Bull Inn, in Thurfday Market,
itt York, which raged with uncommon fury for fome
time, but nwog to the great exertions of the inbabi•
tants and Leeds Volunteers, it was got under with.
'out any material damage.
On Wednefday morning, between three and four
o'clock, a fire broke out in the woo klhop belonging
to Mr. Simms, carpenter, at the back of London.
ilrect, Reading, which for fume time produced the
moll alarming conftquences ; by the affillance of the
engines, and the unremitting exertions of the inhabi-
tants, it was, however, prevented from fpresding to
any of the adjoining buildings. The worldhop was
entirely confumed with a great number of planks,
•and Come unfinithed work therein ; no part of which
was infured. It is not known by what means the
accident happened.

Friday fe'nnight, about t t o'clock at night, a fire
was dircovered balling out of the extenhve glafs
manufaetnry of S. Temple, EN. at Sonth Shields.—
The town was immediately alarmed by ringing the
fire bsII, and the Wellmoreland militia affembled by
beat or drum. In the (pace of half an hour, the fire
‘alfurned au alarming appearance, menacing the total
dethoraion of the adjoining bottle houfes, glafs works,
malt kiln, and brewery. The alarm was fcwrcely
diminiflicd by the arrival of the fire engines, as
though very rpeedily procured, and plentifully fop.
plied with water from the brewery and the Tyne, they
were found to be in fuch bad repair as to produce at
find little etre!, and but for the judicious and :alive
exertions of N. Fairlefs, Efq. Mr. W. Hart, Mr.
Craiticr, and Mr. John 11mo:in, would have been,
perhaps, ineffeatial. The tattler of there Gentlemen
