James E. Baylis—l am an engineer in the London Fire Brigade. On the 10th of March I was called at 10 mitaites to 9to a fire in Monkw,ll-street. I broke the door open and entered the house, but found no person on the premises. The principal part of the Ere was under the cutting board in the centre of the shop, but the fire was burning all round. The patterns and contents of the shop were on fire. There was no gas burning in the shop, neither was there a fire-place or stove. There was a door to the cutting-board, that covered a bin which received the cuttings of the materials used in the prisoner's trade (a mantle-maker). The fire when it reached this spot would communicate with the shop. The fire was burning in the cellar under the cutting-board. I remained in possession of the premises until the prisoner was taken into custody, but he had free access to the house. G. dorge Cole, sub-engineer to the London Brigade—l arrived at the fire shortly after it broke out. On entering the premi-es I saw a hole in the floor of the shop. I looked down and saw the gas full on. There was a very large volume of fl xtue. The height of the fl coring above the burner was ten inches, and the fire came through the shop flour. I found a gas branch in the cellar unscrewed from its place, and the burner turned upwards towards the shop floor. I found three screws on the cellar floor. They fitted the screw holes in the post from which the branch had been removed. Th• nippe or burner had been taken out of the branch. The flame would rise at least ten inches from such an opening. oinnsptehcetoloofh C?fitymnaorlciche..
