TRIAL 0? 0017.1 R TOIL •WOL
(Continued front our Paper of Saturday.)
Immediately after GoUie vas placed a second date at the
Bar, Mr. Not,Lise addressed the Jury at great leagtb, and
minutely detailed the circumstances as subsequently proved
ovideece.

The first wham celled was Mrs. Gibbs, who gave pre-
cisely the saws account of the transaction as that which has
already appeared in the Polk. Reports.
The Witness was cross-examined by Mr. ADOLIPBUS. In
the coarse of which. a ntodti of the house was placed upon
the table of the Court. When witness discovered Got-
tie Melling the shavings ander the hearthstone. she did
not disturh him st first. Was sot married at the time of
the fire to Mr. Gibbs. lied been separated from Mr. At-
kinson, and after his death wee married to Gibbs inAegest,
ISt?. Had lived some time with Gibbs before they
were married. When Gottie met witness In Holborn, the
persons present turned their attention to her, and the pri-
soner instantaneously escaped. Does not to her knowledge
believe she ever saw Deals before the day she saw the pri-
soner in New-street. Knows Clarke. who kept a public.
honse in Bow•strest. Did not know Randall (die pugilist);
knew a person named Blakeford.
Wm. Gibbs was the next witness called. The property
in the house belonging to the prisoner was not worth more
7s. or 85. at the time of the fire. [The evidenee of this wit
ness was confirmatory, in every particular of that of his
wife.] Witness produced one of the iron bars taken out of
the window.

Cross-examined by Mr. LAW. Had heard his wife declare
that Dottie set fire to his house. Did not give inforsation
to the insurance Oface. Was not on the patrol at the time.
Wes in the habit of passing through New-street almost every
day, but never knew that Gottie lived there. Never saw
his ■ese on the door. Became a Bow-street patrol within
a few months of the fire. and looked for Gottie in that capa-
city, but could not find him. Never saw him in the shop,
which was kept open until one o'clock in the morning.
Mr. William Beetham, secretary to the Eagle lesortace
051ce, produced ►he policy of the house. 195, Whitecross-
street. A claim for loss was made. There was also a
second claim sent in, with an affidavit annexed.
Mr. William Ilurcombe was then called. Belonged to
the kagle Fire °See in 1811. To the best of his belief the
policy produced was executed in 'his presence.
. Deems Menjin has known Bottle aloes 1811. The &Ol-
ds/At produced was le the hand- /riling of the prisoner, as
was the attested papers, to the best of his belief. [The po-
licy and papers were here put in and read by the deputy
clerk of the arraigns, from which it appeared the prisoner
had effected an Insurance to the amount of 7301.3
Mr. ADOLPHUS took an objection to the indictment, on the
ground that there was no expression in the policy, that the
persons by whom it was executed, bound themselves for and
on behalf of the whole body.—The objection was over-
ruled.

Mr. Beetham again called.—Could not say whether any of
the persons named in the policy had more than one Chris-
tian name. The property was insured es double hazardous.
The bills of parcels of the goods claimed were not produced
at the Office.
Wm. Stuck, n butcher and salesman of Piccedilly.—ln
1811 lived et 197, in Whitecross-street. Did not know the
prisoner. Remembered the fire. Went after to the Eagle
Insurance Onici. Saw a person making a claim, but should
not know him ngsln. Could not swear the prisoner was the
man. Saw Gibbs there. After the fire, went to look at the
ruins. .The witness lic-e described their situation. There
was no vestige of furniture. The oven was not injured in
the least.
Mrs. Stock, the wife of the last witness, believed the
prisoner to he the man who kept the shop 1911, at the time
of the fire, but it being so long ago, she could not swear he
was the man. _ _ _

Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPITUS.—Had not seen the
prisoner until she saw him at Bow-street, from the time of
the fire. This witness gave similar testimony to that taken
before the magistrates at Bow-street, relative to putting out
hts linen to wash. _ _ _

John Carmichael lives at.lB, Little Russell-street, Drury-
lone. liar known the prisoner between 18 and 17 years.
The prisoner had lived with witness. Had had several con-
versations with him about the Bre. Prisoner said it origi-
nated in consequence of the falling in of the oven.
Cross-examined.—Tne prisoner had taken the benefit of
the Insolvent Act, and was obliged to act as a common
Journeyman for support. Witness weekly remitted certain
sums of money to him.
Joseph Stapleton, a pastryseook. knows Gottie.-s.
Knew him in 1908. The prisoner lived at Shaheen at
that time. Witness identified the prisoner as the man
who kept the shop 196. in 1811, and rep -aced his for-
bier testimony relative to showing hint over the house,
sending for him, &c. &c. He described the scene at
the moment be awoke and discovered the tire. which
took place in the room; and detailed the behaviour
of tiottie, on getting out of the house, to the same ef-
fect as in his former deposition. Did not recollect
whether (Little put any clothes on him. Saw Dottie
the peat morning talking to a fireman. Dottie did not
do any thing with the bedstead; there was not time
for him to do any thing.
Cross-axamineo.—Lived with Gottie subsequently to
the fire. For light articles, shavings, in some respects,
gave a better beat after the oven had been heated by
coals. The bars had been taken away from the windows.
and witness escaped by that means, The prisoner was
every day looking at the ruins. The last time witness
saw the house in Kew-street, the words " Dottie, Pastry-
cook," were painted over the door in large letters. The
prisoner hail a very good business there. IVitness en-
terrainesi no fear of sierping in New-street. notwithstand•
ing he had been previously burnt out. Remembered a
person named thiskill being employed by the prisoner,
i relative to his insurance money, but could not say whe-
ther he haJ done an: thing in it. Wttuess knew where
to find the prisoner at any time.
By the Foreman of thejury.—•The trunk was in the
room ti here they slept. The bus were removed, after
witness had observed the room looked like a prisdln.
By theCornv.-;•Conld not say whether the trunk was
beery or light. It was heavier than one man could car-
ry. but eould not swear that was the case. •
By a Joryman.—Tnere was no preparation for light-
in. the oven. They were to get np at three O'clock.
Walter Biggs, of Baldwin-street, City-road.—la 1981
resisted at the corner of Henry-street, Old-street. Knows
the prisoner at the bar. Had had dealings with him in
Whisreress-erreet. This witness merele retapirskited
the facts sworn to by him at the Police (Ace, relative to
