and was known as the Minclaglane Chambers, adjoining
which were several other buildings let out in offices The
whole of the engines were kept in full operation until late
yesterday morning. Mr. T. Hodson, the ameavor of losses
to several lire Insurance Companies, and Mr. Charles White,
of the County Office, were actively engaged in endeavonring
to ascertain the cause of the fire and the extent of mischief
done ; but nothing satisfactory could be obtained beyond 'he
mere fact that the disaster commenced in the gmanddloor
of the centre block of buildings. Captain Shaw, the super-
intendent of the London Brigade, in his official repnrt,
thus describes the injury done Mincing-lane Chambers,
