t arouse those who were asleep, and to cause the greatest
consternation among those awake or in the street. The shock
over St. Bartholomew's-close was so great that people rushed
out of their houses in dismay, each expecting that their
/
neighbour's house was down, or that the old church had
fallen. The shock was so tremendous that the very houses
vibrated as though by a shock of earthquake, and to an ex-
tent to alter the action of the clocks. There is very little
doubt that an aerolite fell in the vicinity of the church, for,
as Mrs. Smith, the wife of an artificial flower-stamp maker,
in Cloth-fair, adjoining the church, was closing the window,
she was struck back, and was rendered almost senseless by
the sulphuric vapour. The storm, as respects London, ap-
pears to have expended its fury over this spot, as, soon after,
the peals of thunder and lightning gradually diminished.
