CUAZOr ow ARlON.—Arteurny Ragesan, a black man, well known '
in the neighbourhood of Fleet-street, where he has resided fur some
years, as a teacher of fencing and pugilism, was brought up yester-
day before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Baum, charged
on suspicion of setting fire to certain premises up the court at No.
76, Fleet-street.
Mr. James Swan, printer, the landlord of the whole of these pre-
mises, stated that they wore let in distinct suites of apartments to
four different master.printers, and that the prisoner Rogeson occu-
' pied one large room on the ground fluor as an academy, for receiv-
ing his pupils; and occasionally, but very rarely, has slept there.—
On Monday night the premises were discovered to be on fire ; Ito-
geson, it appeared, was not then within, but as the fire was found
to proceed from the apartment he occupied, the partition between
that and the passage being nearly burned through, the door was
forcibly burst open, when it was discovered that a quantity of
coals, alight and blazing, were piled up against the partition ; these
they concluded had been taken out of the grate, for though there
was no fire at all in it, they found it quite hot. From the quan-
tity of coals, the manner in which they were piled up, and the dis-
tance from the grate, which was at least eighteen or twenty feet
from the partition, it was quite clear they could not have got there
by accident. No person but the prisoner had access to the room.
During all thebusdo that this alarm occasioned, both in the court
and in Fleet-street, Rogeson never made his appearance near the
premises ; but wa taken into custody shortly afterwards, saun-
tering about on the opposite side of the way in Fleet-street, as if
waiting the issue.
Air. Swan said, he had not had sufficient time to produce all. the
necessary evidence ; but he believed he should be able to prove that
the prisoner bad been seen in or near the premises late in the even-
ing; and that be had contemplated this eat would appear faunal&
having told some of the printers boys that they had had a fire once,
and that they would come again some morning, and find their place
burned down, and no office there.
The prisoner appeared sufficiently impressed-with the serious na-
ture of the charge, but did not interrupt the proceedings by a &ill/
observation. The Alderman, indeed, would not, in the presentatage
of the business, call upon 'him for any defence, but remanded him
for further examination, when the other witnesses could attend.
HATTON-GARDEN.
T. Leppar was charged with defrauding Air. Alder, chemist, of
Abingdon-roiv, Gowen-street-road, of 23 sovereigns. Mr. Alder
being in want of a horse, the prisoner came to him, in the name of
Messrs. Harris and Morrell, of Holland-street, offering one for sale
for 26 sovereigns, and it was proposed he should have nweek's trial
of It. To this Mr. Alder agreed, but two days after prisoner called;
stating that'll* was going to Horncastle Fair, and requested to ha*
the money, at same time giving a written warranty, purporting
to be signed by the above Ountlearen, for the *medusa of the aid-
, mal. Upon trial, however, it turned one to be perfectly unsound,
and os application to Mr. Harris, he not only denied having. em-
powered the prisoner to give the warranty, but said he had sold it
to him as unsound ; and further, that he had no partner of the
name of Morrell.---The prisoner still persisted in his allegation, but
was fully committed.
MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE-

Jevons Dersawm.--A little urchin, not more than dine years
old, named Michael Bum, was charged with picking pockets.
Hannah Connor stated that she caught the prisoner's hand in
her pocket, and on feeling for her money she found It wat gone. A-
constable stated that be searched the prisoner on thy spot', aid
