About eight o'clock on the evening of the 21st
dune his shop was discovered to be on fire. The neighbours
put nut the fire. During the time that it
as burning some of his furniture was taken out of his house
and put in a chapel. it was supposed that the fire was com-
pletely extinguished ; the neighbours went home; the wife
of the plaintiff and her apprentice went to a friend's house
for the night. The plaintiff went to a public-house. About
12 o'clock that night a person who was passing observed a
fire in one of the three houses, which was uninhabited, and
in a moment afterwards a light was seen in the plaintiff's
bedroom. An alarm of " fire" was given, and in a few mi-
*—s the plaintiff came up and unlocked the doors, and the
-ho had arrived went up stairs. A bedstead was on

tent bedstead all on fire, and a box full of wearing apparel.
He dictated to his son a list of the articles, and he put his
prices to them, which were fair and right as between man
and man. In this list were the following items :-4 cheares.

up a week afterwards ; he found fault with the claim, saying
it was a high valuation. In his cross-examination this wit-
