CONSPIRACY.

The King v. Robert Bolton and

Another.

This was an indictment for a conspiracy to defraud the Sun fire-office, by making a false representation of a loss by fire.

Bolton carried on the business of a spice and coffee dealer in Little Eastcheap, and he had a private residence at Kennington; the other defendant, William Briggs, was a servant in his employ. Mr. Bolton had effected in the Sun fire-office an insurance of 4,000l. on his stock in trade, consisting of coffee, almonds, spices, and other articles. On the evening of the 10th of May, 1826, a fire broke out in the upper part of the premises in Little Eastcheap. The Sun fire-office was apprised of it the next morning, and their surveyor, having gone to the premises to make the usual inspection and ascertain the amount of loss, remarked that the injury done to the premises appeared to be very small, and expressed some surprise at hearing the extent of damage of the goods as stated by Mr. Bolton. The latter, however, repeated that considerable damage had been done, partly by a great number of persons having rushed into the premises from the street, partly by almonds, ginger, &c. having been injured by the water. Mr. Bolton, after some delay, gave in a claim to the amount of 2817. 16s. 9d. The office, having

considered this an exorbitant demand, made. some resistance, and the matter was eventually referred to arbitration. The arbitrators reduced the sum from 281l. 16s. 9d. to 180l. ; which was paid by the insurance office to Bolton. Shortly after, a letter was received by the insurance-office from the defendant Briggs, stating that the writer was about to leave Mr. Bolton's service in a few days, and expressing his regret that he had ever had any thing to do with the business connected with the fire. Upon the receipt of this letter the directors caused a further investigation to be made respecting the loss alleged to have been sustained by Mr. Bolton in consequence of the fire, and the result of that investigation led to the indictment against the two defendants.

The following evidence Was given:

Thomas Darwin stated, that, on the evening of the 10th of May, 1826, between eight and nine o'clock, he was in Little Eastcheap, opposite the warehouse of the defendant Bolton, when he heard an alarm of fire. Witness and another man endeavoured to effect an entrance at the lower part of the defendant's premises, but, not succeeding, they got in at the next house, and ascended to the roof of Bolton's premises. On breaking into it, they found in the back room of the attic a cask of almonds. Witness procured some water and extinguished the fire.
