The prosecutor was a gentleman residing at Stamitird-bill, and the prisoner Kel:awar was his gardener, and had been so for two years and n half. It appeared, that on Monday, Nov.

On Tuesday, Nov. 16, before Mr. Collins went to town in thy morning, his _gardener requested him to send down • letter to the magistrates, who had taken his friend Lowther, for having a few pears in his possesAion which he had gine hiai. The prosectitvr then went down to the magistrates, together with Keilaway, and when the pears were produced, he knew then, to be his own; there were about a peck and a half of them, and were worth Ss. Toe magisi tate, upon bearing the evidence,. immediately committed the gardener a. the thief, awl Lowther the receiver. A great number of witnesses gave both the prisoners an ex cellent character. The Jury deliberated a long time, and then returned a verdict Wing Kellaway Gnilty and Lowther Not Guilty. The Common Sergeant then sentenced Kellaway to be im prisoned one year in the House of Correction, to be kept to bard labour and to be whipped in the gaol. Last night a dreadful fire broke out 'near Wapping docks. It began on the premises of Messrs. 'Vince and Clark; but wh. thee it were occasioned by mere accident, or by neglect an e elesseees, we could n , t ascertain. The extensive dry cod warehouses of Messrs. Vizier and Co. were soou burs to the ground, and the contiagration spread to the neighbouring houses, many of which were speedily destroyed. chief suderera are Mr. Oliver, an ironmonger, and Mr. Walelle, a vintner.
