MrsiEKioca Fires at Eari / s . Court . — : At the Hammersmith police-court , on Monday , after the night charges had been'disposed of , Mr . Pummell , ose of tte-beadles of-. the parishi of Kensington , who isako keeper of the town engine , reported to ifr . G " . Clivc , the sitting magistrate , - the following case of mysterious ares-at Eari ? s-conrtr Pummell stated that on Saturday night , just brfore . twelve o ' clock , he ' was rcalled by a gentleman , living in . Rich-terrace Earl ' s-court , t () attenda fire whichhe said had'broken out for the third time at the house , No . 3 , on that terrace . He ( Fnmmell ) instantly horsed the to wn engine ,-and proceeded = with all speed to the house , round which he found a somber of the neighbours standing .-. ¦ . Ou entering the premises he found-
several-poheemen inside , one qt whom showed him a bundle of rags ,, which were still smouldering ,..: and' which the policeman had found burning in a cupboard . on the kitchen stairs . He then -wentinto ^ the ; back garden , where he saw a featherbed that had been removed ironiithe front parlour , one side of the ticking of which had been burned off , and the feathers skewed about . It appeared to jnm as if some spirit had beenpoured on it and tliea set fire to ; buton' -smell-Ing it ho could detect no iphituoiu smell . He next went up into the front drawing-room , and there found one of the flooring boards had been removed , and on lifting it up saw that it was burned in three plaoca .- From that place he went to the front room on the second floor , where he found there had also
been a fire , and on examining the room he * found a chest of drawers , which had been removed from the wall , tie back of- which was burned , as was ' also ' the wall against which it -had stood . The back-of the drawers also looked as if some spirits had been poured down it , and then set fire to . The furniture in the house was not at all unpacked , . and on enquiry he ascertained that the premises -were in the occupation ofa lady named'Davis , the family ,-who bad been there only a fortnight , - consisting of Mrs . Davisj her son , two daughters , and a female servant . He saw Mr . Dam Jan ., and asked him if he could account for the origin of ao many firea , but he said he- couw in no ways do 30 , and that they must have . been accidental ; 'and on questioning the servant on the subject : she treated the matter very indifferently /
only , saying that she had burned her hands in putting them out . Cooper , a policeman of the T division , said he accompanied the engine to the fire , and saw the same as Pummell had observed . Dunnett , T 198 , found the fire in the cupboard , but he was not in attendance . The first fire took place at eleven o ' eloek on Saturday forenoon ; the second about two o ' clock in the afternoon ; and tho . third between eleven and twelve o ' clock . at night . The neighbourhood had since been in a state of excitement , the adjoining inhabitants not considering themselves . safe . ¦ Mr , Clive said it . was certainly a-very mysterious affair , but he did not see how he could interfere inihe matter . ; -The fire-offices concerned-were the proper persons to'see if there were any grounds for taking pror ceedings in the case . .: •¦ .. s :-r >;

'; Bpt- ' ihe . describes the , circumstances / which followed with great , minuteness .

( leBcribe ...

The . conduct , of Mi . Dayies , is . deserving of great praise ' . Though , fortunately ,: kjs . irijuiies . are trifling compared with those received by Mr .

The'house occtipiedby Mi \ Matliias , chandler , aud the Parisian boot and shoe warehouse above that , were- greatly shaken , and had a number of paries of glass smashed . - The house : in which the ; explosion took place sustained , of course ; the greatest damage ; The force ' of the explosion not only burst the shop window , frame and glass , in pieces , but almost entirely gutted the first'floor , forced the beams ^ arid joists under the first floor arid also under the shop from their holdings , arid broke nearly every pane of glass in the upper part of the house . " The signboard in front of the premises it dislodged ; and , in fact , so
completely- shook every part of the building frorh top to . bottom as ' to render It Uninhabitable ; if not dan . gerous to pedestrian ' s . ¦¦ ¦ ¦• ¦ ¦¦ ¦¦ ¦ '¦¦ ¦ Mr . Jones and Buckstone were immediately conveyed to the shop of Mr . Potter , surgeon , 76 ; Dale-street , Where they were examined , and their injuries found to be Of an alarming nature . Mr .

His hands were partially denuded of skin , and the skin which had not been burned a way might be peeled off without any'difficulty . One " of his eyes had been closed by the effect of tne'fire , - and on the following day a portion of one of Ida fingers was picked up by Air .

was very much burned over the' hands / head , and face . / Ilis head was greatly swollen . ' .

During this time ,- however ,- that the-namea were at their height a circumstance , occurred which might have caused the destruction of many human beings .
