neighi,:tir:;:,, nooks, with intention to dt•fttud the
Lin!!

Mr. GARR ,\V Rated, tFat :be Deferylant was an
ip.4hcary refidin:r Streatham. th it he hal
:In'cce it a Mrs. ]hind who %kJ,. in pnird...
of the bottle st hich they imputed to lam
natant to burn down. This houle wt., situated in
t littic row of bottles called Blind's-row, at Dul-
wich, but at the time of the me was let ready fur-
nifbed to a Mr. Sanders. At the hack of that
houfe there was a Iran to, as it was called, which
contained a little room, large enough to hold a
bed, and over it was a cock loft. He would (late
to the jury thole tircumilances which led to fufpi-
(ion that the lire, which happened on the 24th of
February, was wilfully occafioned. The fire being
Ipeedily extinguifhtd, on entering, the following
Rare of things then prefented itfclf :—There evi-
dently had been no fire in the fire place ; the bed
curtains on the feet were drawn up, and thruft
through the cieling, from which Come plaller had
been broke down, Co as to form a line of commu-
nication for the fire to the rafters and floor of the
cock-loft. Two of thefe floor boards were railed
' up, and fiipported at the ends in that pofition,
evidently for the purpofe of giving accefs to the
air, to inere:afe the flame ; on the bed was a deal-
box, in which a quantity of turpentine had been
fpilt. Under the bed were two hat boxes, one
containing a quantity of paper dipped in fpirits of
turpentine, the other containing loofe paper: Two
phofphoric matches were found on the floor, with
two pieces of wax taper, which had been lighted.
Between the rafters was fluffed a quantity of loofe
tow, to alTift where the curtain was inferted : and
from the floor of the cock loft tome pieces of board
were let edgeways, to condo& the flame to the
wooden division between that place and Sanders's
houfe. Mr. Verne, the Defendant, was immedi.
ately fent for, but he did not choofe then to come.
He, however, made his appearance in the evening,
and when thefe things were pointed out to him, he
laid he mutt confefs appearances were against him;
but he ;notched his innocence. To explain the
'unufual fituation of the bed curtains, he laid he
could not fay how it happened, but perhaps in
flourifbing his flick, it might have been thrown in
that pofitton.
A Mrs. Bellamy Paid, fhe lived in Brind's-row,
Dulwich. Mrs. Prehon occupied •the houfe next
to that which had the ban-to, in polreffion of the
Defendant. On Saturday morning, the z4th of
February, fhe. law the Defendant come across the
Common and go to that room ; he had riot left it
above a quarter of an hone when the was alarmed
with the cry of fire from Mrs. Pretton ; and going
up hairs, they law through a hole looking into the
cock loft of the lean-to, that it was full of fmoke.
She immediately ran to fetch a pail of water ;—as
fhe returned, fhe met Mr. Longmore. who took it
from her, broke open the room done, and by a few
pails of water, the fire was extinguills.d.
Samuel Longmore gave the fame account, and
this witnefs, as well as the lah, gave the account
of the fituation of the thin4s in the room, as de.
fcribed by Mr. Garrow. this was alfo confirmed
by three other witneffes, who law the premites,
particularly by Mr. Cooper, Surveyor to the Sun
Fire Otfice, who examined the whole minutely the
next Monday.

.....
Nathan el Vs'Ard, from the Sun Fire Office,
proved, that the houfes and goods were infused at
their °nice in May, 1789, fur pool.
Rudd, from the Phccnix Fire Office, prov-
ed, that in May lad they were inbred at their I
Office for 9991. in the name of the aunt of the De-
fend met wile, infured for the wife.

Mr. Serjeant B►sr, for the defendant, made an
ingenious defence. He laid, he fhould account
for all the fulpicious appearances. He Ihould thew
that a fire had been in the room on the day pre-
ceding, and in all probability a fpatk had flown
on the hed-clothes, which mouldering, until the
current of air, occafioned by the defendant's
op-ning the room the next day, it was fanned into
a aunt. He added, that if his witne:Tes railed
only a doubt in the mind of the Jury, they ought
to acquit the defendant, as no man ought to be
convi:tzd but upon fatisfaflory tellimony.
To explain there eircumflances, he railed
Mary Chance, who faid, the lived :errant with
the defendant; the day before the tire the andl.er
mailer and 'niftier* walked from their h°nfc at
Streatham to the garden. Her mailer went on
to vi.;t a patient at Norwood, and as her nnitrstis
as poorly, the lighted the lire with come pie. es
of old wooden fence. They then we-,t in the gar.
den, and gatheied fome bears. which they
in the room, and they threes• the (hell, about the
floor. She thought they would dirty the KJ car-
t lilts, lo the tucked them up, but as they did not
' asay up, the tucked the foot curtains through ohc
hole in the cieling. Behig afkcd, how the 1. la
came theme! the ftid her mailer had, a few
before, when in the cock-loft, put his foot through
it. How error the 'arils of the Cock loft it„)r
trailed up in the u:Ansict they true I Sne laplaA

•
ter mailer dil It two-or three weeks before the
fire, becaufe he wanted to fee the thicknefs of
them, in order to know, whether they would not
do to make a new top to the counter. Improba-
ble as this Rory was, the did not vary or contradia
any part of it in crofs-examination.
Thomas Silvefter' apprentice to the defendant,
was called to prove that his matter had taken the
fpirit of turpentine to that place, to make an em-
brocation for a patient at Norwood, but he could
riot tell the name of the patient.
-after a very forcible reply from Mr. GA/ROW,
and a minute detail of the evidence, with able
comments, by the Learned Jude, the Jury found
a verdiet of—Guilty. The prrfoner was imme-
diately fenteneed to Rand in the pillory, in the 80.
r,tigh, tr. be imprifoned for two years, and to find
rtics for his future good behaviour.

TORGIRY.
tames Mae Ceinnel was indicted for fof)s,tig an
iadorfement upon a bill of exchange, for 4501.
The circumitances of the cafe have already been
detailed in the report of the trial of Louis Rich-
ards, who was indiaed laft January Seflions, at
the Old Bailey, for tittering the Bill, knowing it
to be forged. The bill was drawn by a perfon
of the name of Mann, refuling at Jamaica, in fa-
vour of Capt. Nathaniel Kinnaird, and addrefred
to Meffrs. Dickafons, merchants, London. Kin-
Saird had indoi fed it in favour of John Mac Con-
nel, and the bill was enclofed in a letter, addreffed
to J. Mac Connel, merchant, London. Mr. Mao
Connel, to whom die letter was addrefred, had
formerly refided in the Well Indies, but now lived j
at Reading, in Berkfhire, and could not be found j
by the addrefs on the letter. In confequence of
which the letter was put up in the lift in the Poft-
•
Office Yard.
Some one added to this ad*drefs King's Bench
Piifon." According to the ufual cootie of bnfi•
acts, the lett-r was lent to the King's Bench pri.
fon, where the prifoner was then for debt, and de-
livered to him as to John Mac Connel, for whom
the letter was intended. Thus it was that the
prifoner became poffered of the bill. The het of
the delidtry of the letter containing the bill was
proved by the letter carrier, and the officers of the
Foft Office. The prifoner being thus paired of
the bill, a man who had been a fellow prifoner in
the King's Bench with him, but who was then
difcharged, was proved to have taken the bill to
John Hogg, a general agent, to whom he was
indebted 15 or 161. Hogg difeannted the bill on
the aBth of 011ober, dedu&ing his debt, and gave
Richards the balance. The bill then had upon it
the indorfement of "J. Mac Connel." As he took
it to Dickafons, the acceptors. and they (aid it
would be paid ;hen due, he had no hefstation in
giving calls for it.
Philip Stanhope proved, that the indorfement
of J. Mae Conner was not the hand-writing of
the John Mac Cannel, for whom the bill was really
intended.
Thomas Emerton,chamber.mafter of the King's
Bench prifon, proved, that while Richards (who
difcounted the bill) was in the King's Bench pri-
fon. he chummed, that is, lived in the fame room
with the prifoner. It was alfo proved, that when
the prifoner was apprehended, a copy of the bill
was found in his hand-writing, and the letter which
had originally inclofed it. Some of the notes which
had been paid by Hogg, in difcount of the bill,
were all" traced through feveral fources to the
hands of the prifoner.
Mr. Serjeant BEAT, for the prifoner, argued,
that it was no forgery for the prifoner to write his
own name ; but the Learned Judge immediately
over•ruled the objeSion, and laid it was for the
Jury to determine whether he did it with a frau.
dulent intention ? Verdiet—Guilty.
A Prifoner, who was an old offender, and Rood
indicted in three indictments, when brought up
for trial, complained that 71. had been taken from
hint, by which means-he had not been able to fee
Counfel to defend him. The Judge ordered the
money to be reftored, and added, "Well, I fup-
pole you with your trial to be put off, that you
may inftruft your Counfel P' The fellow very
coolly pocketing the money, replied, " No, I
thank your Lordthip, I will do without Counfel,
and troll my cafe to your Lordlhip." He was
conviEted ; and, indeed, his cafe was fo clear, be
did well to Pave his money.
