Fl R s.—Ye flerday fe'n nigh t, about four o'clock
in the afternoon, a tire broke out at the houfe of
Mr. Bond, a farmer at Shobrook, fix miles from
Exeter, which was attended with the molt melan-
choly confcquence.. When this fad cataftrophe
occurred, Mr. Bond and part of his family were
at church,and only two of his daughters at home,
the eldelt about eighteen years of age, the other
fifteen ; both of them, after dinner, had repofed
themselves on a bed, and did not awake until they
were lurrounded with flames, one of whom imme-
diately flew to the window, and defcended un-
hurt : the other attempted to follow her, but fome
fire falling before her, became fo alarmed that the
ran to another part of the home, where, finding
the fire raging with greater violence, the endea-
voured to get back again, but being prevented by
the flames, ran to the window of another room :
here the fcene was 4ffliding to an extreme degree,
the young lady was ken by her neighbours ufing
every effort to open the window, which the being
unable to accomplith, they begged her to break
the glafs, which was inflantaneoufly effeaed. But,
unfortunately, in the hurry and confufion, no lad-
der could be found, fo that no aid could be af-
forded her ; and being unable, with her utmoft
efforts, to force her way through, her fituation
became awful beyond dekription : repeatedly the
jumped at the window, clafped the fraircs with
her hands, but being fuff.)cated with the fmoke,
the fell backwards, and perithed in the flames !
her body was loon after dug out, with the head
:Ind legs burnt off ! The whole of the premiks
were confumed. A fervant maid coming too near
tile -e,whilft part of a chimney was falling down,
a brick tell upon her head, and fiatftured her
fkull.

On the gth of month, a dreadful fire broke
nut in the village of St. Veit, near Schonbrunn,
in tilL, ncigitipuur!:ond of Vienna ; feveral houfes
were reduced to alhes, and, !hocking to relate, fix
little children becamea prey to the wide fpreading
flames.

On Tuefday morning, at a very early hour, the
barns of Mr. John Hoy, farmer at Cove, near Dun-
bar, was difcovered to he on fire, by which the
whole were burnt down, together with all the oats,'
barley, and grain therein ; afro a flack of wheat,
and another of oats in the barn-yard, were com-
pletely confumed. The fire is fappofed to be wilful.
On Wednefday night an armed force attacked
the fadory at Staverton (Somerf:t,) belonging to
Meffrs. JoNE s, Haar, and Jos! Es, and tiled from
three different points at the fentinels on duty; the
guard returned the fire, and the horte patrole corn-
ing up, the ruffians fled. On the night following,
the houfe of one of the partners in this firm, fitu-
aced at Bcarfield, near Bradford, was fet on fire
and reduced to antes. The premifes were at the
time unoccupied.

fort of evidence upon which a wadi.% could be

The Judge (Mr. Serieant MARSHALL) fill= ed
up the evil:nee, and obferved, that in inch a cide
as this, he could give nn direction in point of law
to the Jury, for it was folely a quetlion of E4a.—
It was a tranfaaton certainly involved in great
doubt and obfeurity. if the pawnbroker's fer•:ant
had given a parcel of notes amounting to ad. in-
Ilea-I of tol. and the defendant had received more
than he was entitled to, he was bound to refund
it. The Jury confulted lonic time, and gave a
vadia for the defendant.
