The Volunteers of St. Margaret's and St. John's, on

very aaive in obflrufting the nefarious plunders that
avail themfelves of thee melancholy opportunities to
increafe the misfortunes of the inhabitants. and in al-

of their dangerous and difficult duties. The fire was
not extinguilbed until ten o'clock.
The &A engine which arrived was the St. John's
parifh engine, at a quarter before four o'clock ; the
Bridal Office arrived, and plenty of others, thottly
alter : no water was, however, to be bad, for a long
time. Mr:. Storr's houfe was nearly deftroyed, and
the next houfe belonging to Mr. Godfrey, an °pilot-
flerer, at the corner of New Palace-yard, 'was corn-
pletely on fire. Water was at length procured in
plenty, and the engines played with gleat effeft, and

About nine o'clock the firemen being able to ap-
proach the ruins, the remains of Mrs. Freeman were
dug out, reduced to a mere cinder, which were con-
veyed in a fbell to the worlchoufe in Dean-lil Cep where
the Coroner's Inquen is to be held. Guildhall, in

On Tuefday fe'nnight a fire broke out in the gable
of the Angel Inn, Cheflerfield, which raged with
great fury, and was not estinguinied until it had de-
ftroyed the greater part of the building, together
with the hay, Ike. It was occafioned by a lighted
candle, which had been carelefily Ruck againti the
wall, falling upon the thaw.

Yelterday morning, shout half paR three o'clock,
a fire broke or" in the houfe of Mrs. Storr,hatter, in

contributing to the death of an individual was for-
feited, in certain cafes, as a drodand to the King, and
in others to the Lord of the Manor. The dendand
in this inflance came under the latter, and the Jury
would have to decide wheth:r, in the cafe before
them, they would award any forfeiture, or to what
extent. He repeated, that no blame was to be im-
puted to the coachman ; but there were many men of
his defcription, who conducted thentfelves on the road
in a very unbeci* ing manner, and alfo in a way
which might, and frequently did, prove injurious to
fociety. He alluded to the praftice that many of them
have of keeping on the crown of the road, indepen-
dent of heavy waggons, and other vehicles paling
them with great danger to both. Their infolence to
travellers was equally well known, and Le had perfo-
nally witneffed, in the courfe of his different journies
through the county, repeated endeavours to frighten
horfes, drawing gigs, &c. by waving their whips, and
other unwarrantable ads. With regard to Mr. Wil-
lan, to whom the coach belonged, as he always had
peat property in that way ou the road, liable to fuch
accidents, he could not be too cautious what fort of
men he entruffed with fuch impottant•charges as the
cullody of valuable property, and the much mote
precious lives of individuals.
Mrs. Leach, of Park Ricer, Grofvenor.fquare, the
lady who was paling along the road, confirmed the
ffatement of the coachman, fo far as it went, and
added, that the had not the molt dillant reafon to

the Jury returned a verdiff of Attidenial Deatk.•--The

On Monday night the landlord of an inn at Twy-
ford, was dillurbed by a man in 3 father's drefs, who
pretended that he was on a forced march, and had a
billet on the houfe. He accordingly let the fellow in,
and after he had again retired, was wakened by a
rumbling noife. Oa repairing down flails, he &deo-
vered the foppored foldier bad let in two accom-
