Palmer, a coal and cern.merchant, in platy-la-Bonne-lane. The

down into the kitchen, where she saw the prisoner, who was her
servant, standing close to the kitchen, although there was at the
time a strong burning smeU proceeding from the adjoining kitchen,
which was used as a atore.room for hay, straw, wood, and coal;.
On entering this kitchen, she found four trusses of bay on fire, and
which, she had no doubt, would, in a short time, have communi-
cated to the whole house, and in fact to the neighbourhood. The
fire, with great difficulty, was subdued, and when the prisoner was
desired to bring some water for that purpose, she did it with the
greatest reluctance. There were two other entrances to the place
where the fire broke out, but they were nat open at that early
boor in the morning. The prisoner said, :he knew not how the
fire originated, but when the alarm was given, she renders(' every
assistance in ber power. When she was accused of having set the
place on fire, she felt much hurt at it, and went home to her father.
She was, however, fully committed for trial.
