word, 'hell.'The words he used were not, 'I wish you were in hell.' I will swear he said, 'I'll do for you.' - Re-examined by  Mr. Maltby: 'They were applicants for relief, and only allowed to come into the vestry one at a time'.  'Robert Pulham, third cousin to George Pulham deposed as follows:-'I had some conversation on the Wednesday and Thursday evening before the fire with George Pulham and Mott; they said they would get some coals from Mrs. Sams?s fire (in a field) and set Mr. Harvey's haulm on fire. Mott and I went to Sams's fire, but it was nearly out, and we could not get a light, and went home; Rose was not there. On the afternoon of the fire, we went to Sams's allotment again, but the fire was out. We then went to Dyson's allotment; Pulham pulled a piece of turf out of this pocket, and threw it into the fire, and covered it up with ashes. When he got back to the allotment gate we met Jacob Rose. I then went home and saw no more of the prisoners till about 7, when I went to the vestry with  Mott and G. Pulham. We met Harvey, Baldry, and Bunting (farmers) going to the vestry meeting; and a little further on I said there was not time to get the fire from the allotment, and to get the haulm together, before the farmers would be from the vestry meeting. George Pulham said the haulm was together already. I said, I do not know what you mean by that. He said he meant Mr. Baldry's haulm stack. Mr. Harvey's haulm lay in heaps in the field. He said that Robert Mott would go and put the piece of turf into Mr. Baldry's haulm stack. Mott was close by, and must have heard what Pulham said. I said, 'I will have nothing to do with that, if I do damn my eyes; for if ever we are found out we shall sure to be hung.' George Pulham said, that might be done without being found out. We all then went to the vestry meeting. George Pulham told me, ?never let that come out of my mouth any more.'Jacob Rose came afterwards to the vestry meeting; they all three came out before I went in.'To the Judge: '  I do not know that the prisoners belonged to any society. Was intimate with th m because they had nothing to do. I said it would cost me my life if we set fire to Mr. Baldry's haulm instead of Mr. Harvey?s, because that would do no harm, being in a field. I would have agreed to have burnt Mr. Harvey's haulm, because he behaved bad to us -  he was overseer and would give us no money.' - Cross examined:- 'There were many young people in the parish who had nothing to do, and who were dissatisfied with the parish officers who would give them neither money nor work. Didn't hear Mott say, he would have nothing to do with it; nor any other person. Robert Mott said, 'Jacob Rose would say many things in the day time that he would not do in the night.' Susan Dyson deposed that on the day in question she made a fire on her allotment, of haulm and rubbish. George Pulham, Robert Mott, and Robert Pulham came to her and she gave them leave to put some fuel on, to warm themselves. Witness was digging, and went on with her work. leaving them at the fire. Wm. Ransom deposed that he was going home from his work on the evening of the fire about eight o?clock, and met three men running in the direction of Mr. Baldry?s. He knew George Pulham, and thought Jacob Rose was one, but did not know the other. Witness said, ?What are all you Unions going down the street tonight.' There were a great many out (of employment) at that time, and Unions was name they gave themselves. they made no answer. Witness afterwards had George Pulham in charge for the night, and slept with him. Pulham first said they were going to the vestry, and afterwards that they were coming from the vestry, when witness met them. Witness had been home half and hour before the alarm of fire.'John Day deposed that he met Rose, Geo. Pulham, and another, between 'The Oak' and Mr. Buntings (adjoining Baldry's) about eight o?clock.-Mrs. Sams proved that Moss and George Pulham came to her fire on the 28th, and laid a bush or two on, but they would not light, and they then went to Mrs. Dyson's fire. Rose was walking about Mr. Harvey's field. close by, at the time. Robert Pulham was not there, to the best of her recollections.Mr. Orridge, Governor or Bury Gaol, deposed that George Pulham having desired to see him, he sent for him into his office, and asked?what he wanted of him? 'Pulham said, 'he was so unhappy; he wanted to tell him all about it.'  Mr. Orridge then told him it would be his duty to take down anything he might choose to say, and did so: afterwards communicated with the committing Magistrate, the Rev. Mr. Salmon (Rector of Lidgate), who came to the Gaol and the confession was read over in the presence of the prisoner, and some addition was made to it..The confession was then put in.It stated that on Friday morning Mr. Baldry threatened to get a warrant again'
