= vlcton, OF an Incendiary or Incendiaries
Whereas, il appears to the satisfaction ofthe
Mutual Assurance Society, that, an attempt has
been made, fwilfuliy and wckcdly to destroy by
Fire, the House of John p. Shields, in the CITY
of Williamsburg, insured in the Office of this
Society and with it, as necessary conse-
quence, the houses and goods of many other
Citizens Of that place. The Standing Commit
lee Of sad Society, have thought proper o offer,
& they do hereby offer a reward of ONE HUN
DRIED Dollars TO any person, who shall disco
yer & inform against the IncendiarY or Incendia-
ries, 50 hat he or they shall be prosecuted to
conviction.
The dreadful effects of fire on houses, have
been so often, and so fatally experienced in this
State and have SO often, with good ground,
been suspected TO have originated from causes
not accidental, that it is believed, that every
good Citizen will feel himself interested in the
detection and punishment of the Incendiary or
Incendiaries in this instance.
When attempts Of this kind, are made in one
town, or on one house in the country; similar
attempts may be spprehended in other towns or
on other houses in the country as the object
will probably be to plupder the unfortunate suF
tefers But an instance Of punishment for this
foul offence, may prevent a repetition of the
same act and thus serve the cause of humAni

horrors Of such scene, nor the consequent
wrctchedness of the sufferers but reaection on

To avert such an evil from the towns Of Vir.
gina, the Citizens are earnestly solicited to use
their utmost diligence to detect the offender or
offenders on this occasion and to guard against
similar attempts, by the utmost caution in their
owe hoases, both in town and country, and par
ticulsrly IN the towns, where the desolatinr
flame, arising from the csrelessness of an indvi.
