Thursday night, about twelve o'clock, a fire broke ou

in an -apartment at the house of hir.Antifell, in Phanix.
pow ,Spital-fields, in consequence of a child setting
fire to the bed curtains with I candle. The greater part
oldie furniture in the room was destroyed before It
could be extinguithed. Another fire happened on the
premises Of a baker in South Lambeth, about the sims
time, which 'destroyed the bake-house and stock.
BURNlNo.—Yesterday, while two children, who had
been locked in a room by their parent, in tiondge-st.,
Tottenham-court-road, were playing together, one of
them had its . clothes in a blase in consequence of a
spark flying from the fire ; the other, in endeavouring
to assist' it, bnrned itself dreadfully, and was so much
injured that it shortly after died. •
-One of the first experimental chemists of the present

on tecoetot of the use of deleterious drags in beer,
render it highly necessary, that heeds of families should

not bad sufficient prudence to take himself off when he'

him (Mr. Bish) no alternative, but to consign the
prisoner to the law, which was very strict in such cases.
The LORD filsvoa ordered the prisoner to be re-

Solicitor for the Stamp-office,

The prisoner, who tlid not appear at !first to be
aware of the serious nature of the charge preferred

tempt to escape from the officer o• his way back to

GUI LDII A LL.-Mr. Secretary tor; 11:t"
his Yeoman, Johi Porton, again loads his !Ins
at this office yesterday, to exhibit an infortbsikm,
against another individual acting as a shopmao at
Mr. Cathie's, for selling a Masphennons end sedltians

.libel. In this instance, as tot,l4ernelliete

torment, on, Ms oath, stated his ability to identfy the
person of the offender. A warrant was accordingly
wade out; and delivered tintlbutar, the Marshal-
man, to execute. A Tastiest, arose as to
what was to be done, in caselbif party was net found
iu the shop ? and whether, in 'falcate, the authority
of the officer extended to searching the house for him ?
After some consultation, it was agreed that the offi:

cer might apprehend him, if found upon the premise. ?
As this seemed to imply, that the officer bad no au-
thority to apprehend him out of the premises, instruc-
tion was asked as to what was to be done, in the
case of his being found off of the premises—was the
officer to apprehend him in that case? On consult-
ing the City Solicitor upon this question, he was of
opinion, that as the party was not described in the
warrant by name, and was known only to the in-
formant, as connected with the sale of the libel in
question, in Carlile's shop, there was not the same
cirmustance to substantiate the identification by the
informer. as in the two former cases ; and he thought,
that the fact of the offender being found acting in the ca-
pacity of shopman upon the premises where the offence
was charged to be committed, was necessary to au-
thorise his apprehension, in the absence of the usual
designation of his name.
This doubt stopped the execution of the warrant for
the present. Mr. Murray, however, said, it was a dif-
ficulty that would he easily got over, and he thought
he should be able to obviate it when he again made his
application to the Magistrate, to cause the warrant to
be executed.

BOW-STREET.--GIOVANNI IN IRELAND.Yester- ,
day at 11 o'clock, Bond, the officer, againit whom
Mr. 'l'. B. Cox, of Soho-square, preferred a chargy of
assault on Thursday, attended before Sir K. Birbie,
' with two persons, who be said would prove all that he
had stated with respect to the conduct of Mr. Cox, to
be true. These persons were, a publican in Newgete-
market, and a tradesman of the same place.
Mr. Cox was called, oiret did not answer, nor did he
appear in the course of the day, and the mauer there-
fore rests for the present undetermined.
A man, of respectable appearance, who did not give
his name, complained to the Magistrate, that on the
night of Mr. Cox's affair he was in the two shilling
gallery, and feeling touch displeased at the piece
entitled " Giovanni in Ireland," he hissed, and
cried "Off, off!" Upon which a man- who said he
was an officer, seized him by the collar, and dragged
him from the seat, and he was tinned completely out
of the *etre. He was going again that (last) night
with a party of friends, to the boxes, and he wished
to know whether, if he should think proper again to
express his disapprobation, he would be likely to ex-
perie.oce similar treatment,

Dillon, J. Miles, J. Bartlett, and J. Bennett, were
brought before T. B. ALUMNI and R. Hamm*, Esqrs.
charged with baring robbed the extensive bleaching
If Mr. David Dixon, at Mitcham.

Mr. Dixon stated. that on the night of the 20th No-
vember last, his bleaching ground was robbed of 20
pieces of unbleached calico. On the 24th of the
same month, he received an anonymous letter, amp
lag the prisoners Dillon and Miles with having been
concerned in the robbery; and in a few days after he
received information, on which he could rely, that the
prisoner Bartlett had been seen going towards his
bleach grounds after twelve o'clock oa the night the
robbery was committed : in consequence of which he
obtained warrants for the apprehension of all the pri-
soners, Bennet being • known associate of the others.
Chaples Shepherd, a printer, at Mitcham, stated,.
that on the night of the robbery be was standing near
his door. a little after twelve at night, and the pri-i
outer Bartlett passed' him in the direction of Mr.
Dison's bleach-green. The witness spoke to him, as
they were acquainted, but Bartlett made no reply. The
witness added, that the directiowis-which the prisoner
Bartlett was walking was in a contrary way to his
home.

John West, a boy, apprentice to tke prisoner Miles,
who is a chimney-sweeper at Mitcham, deposed, that
,on a Monday, about three or four weeks ago, he went
with his master from Mitcham to London in a cart,
and that near the turnpike they were met by the pri-
soners Dillon and Bartlett, who bad a bag with them,
which his master assisted them to put in the cart, and
all came to town together. On coming to town, they
drove to Islington, where the bag was taken into a
house and emptied of almost all its contents, in which
state it was replaced in the cart. The party then
drove to Kent-street, in the Borough, where they
dined on beef-steaks, and while at dinner one of the
prisoners said to *the witness. " Eat away, for your
waster has done well with the soot stuff." His master
desired him, if, on his return home, he should be
asked where they had been, to say they had been
sweeping the chimnies of a workhouse in Streatham.
The witness and his master went back the same day to
Mitcham; the other two prisoners stopped at a public-.
house on the read.

This witness was cross-examined by Mr. TURTON,
who was counsel for the prisoners, but did not vary
from his direct evidence. He admitted that be did not
see what was in the bag the prisoners brought to
Islington, but he knew it was not soot by the feel.

Tuaxos contended that there was no evidence
on which to commit the prisoners.
Mr. Dixon said that circumstances connected with
Abe robbery were coming to light daily, and if farther
time were allowed, he had no doubt he should produce
conclusive evidence.

The Magistrates, after some consultation, remanded
the prisoners till Tuesday week.
