ANOTHER FALL OF BUILDINGS

On Sunday morning, shortly after ten o'clock, a re-
newed scene of excitement was created in Kentish Town
by a loud crash, -resulting from the sudden fall of another
portion of the same pile of buildings which fell on Thurs-
day last. This result will afford matter for serious
investigation by the officials of the Metropolitan Board
of Works, who had already ordered an investigation into
the previous . occurrence ; as, had this second fall
taken place to-day, at a time when the workmen
were engaged in the scaffoldings and elsewhere,
there is no knowing what amount of life or injury to
person might have taken place. The . buildings in
question consisted of . a clump of three or four houses
forming the commencement of a new street, to be called
Gaisfor-street, and it will be remembered, in the account
already given of the previous fall, that it was stated that
the stacks of chimneys first fell, carrying with them the
upper portions of the party walls of the two adjoining
houses. This fall took place in an easterly- direction.
On the western side still existed another party wall,
on the 'summit of which remained another high and
double stack of chimneys ; and still further to the
west was the flank wall or gable end. of the newly-
erected row of houses ; the whole being. surrounded by
scaffolding. It has been remarked by practical men that
in this flank wall a great deal of what is termed " buck-
ling,"' or "bulging" was observed, and at the time men-
tioned yesterday, the upper part of this think wall fell
outward hi the direction of the Kentish-town-road, with
a tremendous crash, carrying with it the scaffold poles,
&c., or breaking them short off where it came in contact..
The buildings present a singular and dangerous ap—
pearance, the double stack of chimneys standing alone
in the centre, although evidently, even to the most un-
practised eye, some considerable extent out of the
perpendicular..
